Thank You NHS!

Good morning fellow crafters, I've had an absolute pants week this last week. My Mom was diagnosed with this shite virus & isn't well at all. Thankfully (fingers crossed) its not affected her breathing yet, but she has no sense of smell or taste, so shes not eating. Also tummy cramps are flooring her! As we have been doing their shopping for them, I asked her what food she really fancied & I would get it for her.....nothing!!! So not like my mom!!
Please keep her in your thoughts & prayers xxx

Anyhoos, I'm here to share my latest 'A Place To Start' creation with you. Our theme for the next month is.....

MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND

stencils, stamps, inks, paints etc...just no DP

I decided to use one of Whimsy Stamps freebies & pop the finished card in our front window, just to say a huge thank you from us to the key workers xx


I thought I'd use my star stencil as in my eyes they are all superstars!
