We are going to open up the challenge to use images other than LOTV. So, you can still use your Lili's and we would love to see them, but you can also use other images too. How cool is that?! I am sure the Fairies will continue to share their love of Lili with you all but this does mean more of you will be able to join in the challenges with us.

So, we hope you are as excited about all this as we are - see you next week for the first ever Crafty Little Fairies Challenge!

Thanks for taking the time to visit me and for all your lovely comments. I will try and get round to visit you all later as I have a busy day today, lots of family coming over...apparently it's someone's birthday....21 again (I wish!! lol)

Candy!!

Edited : This is a sticky...please scroll down for my last card.

Hello Everyone....I'm back!!
Some of you may have noticed that I have been a bit of a bad blogger recently!! That's because I've been on my holidays in gorgeous North Wales. We were due to come home on Sunday but as the weather was beautiful we decided to stay for a few more days! As a thank you to all of my followers who have left comments for me while I've been away, I have a lovely Cherry Blossom Memory Box die up for grabs.

All you have to do is be a follower and add your name to Mr Linky! If you want to put me on your side bar that would be great too but you don't have to. I'll draw a winner at the end of August.
I have a mountain of washing to do now...the only downside of going away!
I hope to be round to visit you all soon.
