WOW!

I can't believe its two whole weeks since I posted anything on my blog!! Time has just flown! I couldn't post anything on here before I went away, even tho I have the cards sitting here, the internet was down for a few days so no posting from me. Then I went on my crafty get away & ended up staying a few days longer than expected....but oh we did giggle & I had Katie with me as well so ended up spending soooo many pennies, but I've got some awesome goodies to play with! Then when I got back Nige was off work so we had a few days out. Also for those who remember this time last year, it was a year Monday since our Katie's best friend passed away, so Monday was spent with the girls at Liverpool museum...not sure which one but the one with the dinosaurs in lol!

Autumnal Birthday!

Wow, where is the time going to? I can't believe its only 16 days until I go on my crafty week away! I booked it last October as soon as I got home from that one & boy times just flown!!!

Anyhoos on with today's post.

Over at The Perfect Sentiment we have a challenge that I just loved creating for, I just love sunflowers they make me think of my Nan. When I was a kid my nan lived about 70 miles away so I only saw her in the hols....so when it was time to plant the seeds I would help Nan plant them & through the school term Nan would look after them for me & measure them & phone or write a letter to tell me so I could keep my own grow chart at home! I still have a few of them in the loft!!

Anyhoos this weeks challenge is

AUTUMNAL BIRTHDAYS!

don't forget your sentiment on the front!

I decided to use an image I won a while ago & chose because of my Nan x
