Get Well Wishes From Humphrey!

I've got a poor daughter off school at the moment, so forgive me if I'm late with my comments. Danni fell off a swing on Saturday, we think she fell about 7ft but she landed on the side of her head & hip! Nige took her to A&E & they said just to keep an eye on her.....she is fine but boy it was a scary few days!


With our Katie taking GCSE art & her pinching my Promarkers all the time, we decided to get her some Spectrum Noirs of her own! Well after colouring this image in, I've decided I want them lolol.....they are fab & work along side my Promarkers, so now they sit on my shelf looking all fab & new lolol!!

Well I started this card yesterday morning & inbetween chatting Hazel (dido)

 & Crafty Emma on the phone.....it eventually got finished last night when it was

 to dark to take a picture of it!!! Also I've changed it from what it looked like when I thought I had finished it lol....I sent a pic to Hazel that I took on my Blackberry just to show her what I had been up to & where the charm is now, there was a big bow in the same lace as is wrapped around the card!! I just didn't like it so undid the bow, used some divine twine & a charm & voila I like it now LOL!
