 Hi Everybody,

It’s been really fine here today and the same is forecast for tomorrow too. Ruby and I will be out for a walk and the good news is that her biopsy results have come back and she is all clear. Her wound is healing nicely and I am so happy with all this.

Friday Freebie - Fairy Wishes

Hi Everybody,

Todays offer is from Crafters Companion and is a lovely large Fairy Die that will cut beautiful borders along the edge of your cards,

The Die Cutting Essentials magazine will give you lots of ideas on how to use the die as well as many tips and tricks for other techniques that you may like to try.

If this is something that you would like to have then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME.

I need your full mane to be able to identify correctly the winner. If two or more of you have the same first name then it becomes difficult and of course anonymous could be just about anyone. So please check that you have added your full name ... your real name and not your media one ... otherwise your comment will not be entered into the draw.

Be sure to come back and see if you are the winner over the weekend. 

I am happy to send the pack to your wherever you live and it doesn't matter if you have won before. 

Good luck everybody

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

If you joined in then thank you.
If you won one of the prizes then well done, and I hope you will enjoy your prize.
If you donated then a double thank you to you.

There is still time to donate as the link is open until tomorrow 8th April and Lou will announce the full amount on Facebook Live at 12.30

And if you missed the Craftathon you can catch all the demos on YouTube, but obviously the prizes will not now be available.

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
