Hello & welcome

to a very happy Shell today, I don't care about aching, I don't care about housework, today nothing matters not even the rain....as yesterday I saw Newcastle United thrash Aston Villa 6 - 0 so I is one very, very, very happy bunnie...also my darling hubby is home tonight, he only went away yesterday afternoon, but I ain't half missed him. I need a cuddle off him lol also didn't sleep very well at all, as it was my first night without Nige in our new home, so I spent most of the night going 'what was that?' lol but its morning & I survived...

Todays first card is my DT card for Craft Your Passion. Firstly I just wanted to say a great big thank you to all of you that entered last week...there were some stunners out there & I really enjoyed looking at them all. Well this week we are asking for you to include some 'handmade flowers' on your creation.

Hi Shell

Well done on surviving your first night in the big bed without Nige .. .. new houses take a lot of getting used to.

Loving your creations - gorgeous flowers and great colour choices.
