Heather Fenn-Edwards ATC.......

Afternoon Everyone,

Well as if I wasn't excited enough about Lindsay's ATC, just got in after work and this beauty was waiting for me.

I must thank Heather so much for this work of art it's called "Magdelane The Gypsy Girl" and it is lovely.

Check Heather out at http://fennedwards.blogspot.com/

I especially like the hint of Bohemia about it, and Ewan always calls me his little Gypsy Princess so I LOVE it wish I could keep both ATC's from Lindsay and Heather. I might just ask for a swap next time I see them.......

Anyway I'll post photos of my whimsical Christmas cards later when I'm back from the Gym....

Catch you later,

Love Sarah xxx

Lindsay's ATC

Evening All,

Well all I can say is that one lucky person is gonna be very happy! Whoever wins the blog candy will be delighted!

I have received Lindsay's HAND DRAWN ATC called "Cutie Pie" and it is fantastic, I must thank Lindsay so much, It's an original so you will need to frame it to do it justice.

The nicest ATC I think I have ever seen.......

The draw will take place a week today and the delish stamps, papers, brownies and ATC's will be on the way to one lucky devil!

Thank you to everyone for leaving comments, emails and swapping ideas, that what it's all about this blogging business.

Tomorrow I will post some whimsical Christmas Cards using Inkadinkado's clear stamp set 99401 Pattern Play Holiday or for my Aunt in France Jue de motifs des tetes and some of the new copic marker pens.....

I know our Mandie will like, as they have a nice snowman, which we are going to use in a class, by special request.

Anyway my brother Christopher has this very minute phoned to ask for a card, and he will be round later to pick it up...... so better crack on eh?

But before I go I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to my dear friend Dee, shes such a shinning star, her telephone call tonight cheered me up no end!

Take care everyone,

Love Sarah xx
