Look at this beauty!

**This is my second post for today **

Please scroll down to see my Charisma Cardz DT card

I won a competition over at Mrs A’s blog a little while ago and the prize was a beautiful handmade bag using Japanese silks.  I’m so late blogging the pictures but better late than never eh?  The bag is even more gorgeous IRL and I will treasure it forever.  Thank you so much Mrs A, I really appreciate how much work you must have put into it – bearing in mind I can just about sew a button on lol!  Here is the bag (I “borrowed” the pics from Mrs A’s blog as mine were useless):

This is where Mrs A got her inspiration from

This is the front of the bag

  This is the back of the bag

Thank you doesn’t seem enough to say but I want to say how pleased I am with it and how lucky I was to win your little competition.  If you haven’t visited Mrs A’s blog before – WHY NOT!!  Please pop over and take a look at her gorgeous creations, you won’t be disappointed and I bet you’ll visit again.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Thank you Shelley

I recently sent Shelley some birthday goodies and look what I got in the post the other day. Thank you so much Shelley - the card and penny black images are adorable but there was really no need. I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday and can't wait to see what you create with your goodies. Thanks again you are a true friend. Thanks for looking.

I'm so lucky to have crafty friends :)

I received this gorgeous card and lots of stamped images (this is only half) from Diane. She is a very special and kind crafter, who has helped me lots since I started my blog. You need to check out her blog; her cards are stunning. Thank you so much Diane they are fab. I can't wait to colour them all in!! Thanks for looking.
