New bears!



Hello crafty friends!

It’s been longer than I planned between posts (again!) but the weeks just seem to whizz by

*

Keith is getting on nicely after his operation; thanks so much to everyone who asked after him. He got his stitches out last week so is able to get about a bit better now without all the padding. Just needs time to heal now but he’s not very patient and because it’s bone it will be a few more weeks yet!

*

I did a lovely workshop at the weekend, journals and mini albums which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was the last one of the year so I need to make sure I put into practise what I learnt

*

My nephew and his girlfriend had their baby so I’m a great Aunt (doesn’t that sound old and matronly!) She’s absolutely perfect and will be spoiled by everyone. She’s the first baby in our small family since my youngest nephew who is 20 so we were all very excited  for her arrival and my Mum has been knitting furiously for the last 6 months…

Onto my cards and Lili of the Valley have a new image launch this Friday and they’re going Bear crazy!

There are lots of new stamps including a set of alphabet and number bears and also introducing a sweet new bear called Greg

This one is called Greg Cupcake…

and this is a card with the alphabet bears that I made for a friend…

    What a sweetie the baby is and how exciting for everyone, the first one in a long, long time and yes, she's going to be the center of attention.
    I love your cards. Greg Cupcake is super cute and wowsa, the Rory one is fabulous with the red checked piecing. That is so striking and utterly gorgeous!

    Aw congratulations! Your great niece is gorgeous. I have four great nephews and it does sound matronly! Even more so I think than being a Grandma! It's funny though, my husband is 13 years younger than me and my brother and sister are older than me so my actual nieces and nephew are all older than my husband! Not that I am boasting! Tee hee! I am glad Keith's recovering well. Ooh, I nearly forgot! Your cards are adorable! xxx
