DEC Ukraine Appeal

 Hi Everybody,

Today is the day that we are doing a LIVE Craftathon from 8am until 8pm.
This is to raise funds to help Ukraine in this terrible war that is being inflicted on them.  

Lots of crafters are taking part and many of the names you will be familiar with.
There will be lots of techniques and ideas for you to see and lots of prizes and giveaways too.

To take part in the Craftathon the link is
Craft Stash Craftathon

Leave any of your lovely comments, and you can also help by donating any amount no matter how small,  and all of this will go to help.

The link is

And you can still donate for a short while after the event is finished.
The final amount raised will be published by Craft Stash on their
Facebook Live on Friday at 12.30

Thank you xx

Rainbow of Hope

Hi Everybody.

Rainbows are beautiful things and yet they are nothing that you can touch.

Never the less they give us hope that brighter things are yet to come, and I couldn't wish anything more for our friends in the Ukraine

I cannot imagine the terrible things that they are going through, having to flee for your life with your children, Leaving behind a home that you may have had for a long time. that you have lovingly built up.

Leaving behind all those memories that have been created in and around your home and town. maybe this is where you grew up and now it is in ruins.

I pray that it will be brought to an end soon. Life will never be the same for some of those brave people.

Your home is no longer there and worse still you family and friends are no longer there either. Rebuilding a city and a home can be achieved but losing loved ones in this senseless war can never be un done. 

My heart breaks for all of you in the Ukraine, and anywhere else that is suffering war and blood shed.

And for what reason ????  People will never be cowed and those that have fled have left you with empty, devastated land,  and those that have had to remain will hate you for the rest of their lives.

End all wars now and learn to live in peace

Friday Freebie - Birds of a Feather

Hi Everybody,

Todays offering is a very special set and this is no April Fool joke.

The set consists of an embossing folder, a large stamp image of a peacock, with sentiments too, and some beautiful papers, that include some gold glitter paper.

A real treat for you to play with and the magazine will give you lots of ideas on how to use the pack.

You will also find some toppers in the paper pack so that you can finish off the cards in style.

So is this a set that you would like to have in your collection ???

Then  all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post with your FULL NAME.
From those comments one name will be chosen as the winner and announced in a blog post over the weekend.

Be sure to come back and check if it is you who has won. It doesn't matter where you live or if you have won before, just add you name to the list.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
