Oooh do I love challenges like this!! Anything to do with Fairies always a winner with me lol!
Our very lovely Jan has given us the the fab challenge of FAIRIES. You can use 1 or 101 - make anything you like, as long as there is a fairy on it!!

Recipe: Ikea white box, Fairy Do Crafts paper, flowers from ebay, glitter, Tinkerbell cut out, beads,

beaded bee from ebay, Fairy Do Crafts brad, little white flowers from LuLu!

Charisma Cardz Challenge #7 - Sketch

Morning all

We have got a fantastic sektch for you today over at Charisma Cardz Challenges today.

Here is my card:

Recipe:

• little headed roses from internet
• white card from hobbycraft
• pink paper from create & craft
• sentiment done on the computer
• scalloped edge nestibilities
  

This isn't how the card was meant to be...I was going to fill then white circle completely with roses, but as I started sticking them through the card, they started to make a heart shape so I just kinda moulded it that way - thats why the heart isn't dead centre!!

Hope to see you over at the challenge blog this week - we have a FANTATSIC prize on offer!!

A Quiet Few Weeks

Hi all

Just wanted to apologise ahead of time for the lack of posts that are not going to be happening on my blog for the next two weeks.

My parents have come over for their very first time in Dubai and I have decided not to do any crafting whilst they are here as I haven't seen them for nearly a year!

Will be back with some blog candy though to celebrate my huge hits!

Hugs to one and all!

Candy Question!

Evening all

Firstly, this pic of my son...it absolutely makes me smile, it was when he had just turned one, and whenever I would say 'smile' this is what he would do...oooh, I adore this child (LOL and his equally cute big sis!!).

Anyway, the reason for tonight post is I have a question to ask....I want to offer all my fantastic followers, new followers, everyone some tasty candy for when I hit 20,000 hits. However, I have no idea what to offer...so thought I would ask your advice.

Remember, I won't be able to send it from Dubai so below are the things I have thought of and the most popular choice is what I offer as soon as I go past the 20,000. THIS IS NOT THE CANDY POST, YOU WILL NOT WIN ANYTHING BY COMMENTING ON THIS POST!!

1. digi images
2. stamps (sent direct from company)
3. bits 'n' bobs

If you have any advice, please, leave me a comment!!

Thanks!
