It's Magical!!

This week over at Craft Your Passion we have my baby Didge sponsoring us! I am so proud of her she is taking her GCSE's 2 years early & seems to be doing really well at school...when we went to her (well both of the girls) parents evenings their French teacher was absolutley amazed at them both & said that she wouldn't have a problem putting KT through for her GCSE now! Which would be 3 years early!!! The reason she was amazed is they have only been doing French since September!!! Their old school did German!!! So me & Nige are really proud!!!
