So as its looking like i might reach the 1000 mark very soon i have decided to start the blog candy now. I dont have any photos of the stash as yet but i can tell you it will be a very nice mixture of various papers, some coloured card, stamped images, ribbons, punched cut outs, some bling stuff, paper roses and some surprises.

Even if this is your first visit, I’m very happy to have you and certainly hope you’ll come back often! So all you need to do is the usual leave me a comment and put my link on your blog. Heres wishing you all good luck.
Ooopps forgot to mention as its my birthday in September thought I would run this until Fri 26th Sept and I will announce the winner on Sat 27th.

First Scrapbook
A few years ago when my dad passed away my grandaughter was 4 1/2 years old she was very close to him and he loved to tease her as he always did with us when we were children and she loved the attention as little ones do, Im quite surprised that she does still talk about him quite often and generally out of the blue, so i got to thinking that as she grows older these memories will gradually fade and beocome very distant. This inspired me to make her a scrapbook full of photos and memrobelia of him so she can look at it often with the hope of keeping those memories a little more fresh in her mind. I have now completed my first 4 pages so only 16 more to go, I have started with the oldest photos I have of him and will gradually bring them upto the times she can remember. Hope you like them, im fairly pleased so far and I think Megan will just love it, hope so anyway.

Some super blog candy on offer you definitely need to take a look and if you dont i can guarantee you will wish you had.

Some rules apply but here is a few paragraphs to hopefully get you interested and follow the link above to read some more.
Everyone will have their own view, but in my case, I regard the removal of word verification as a basic courtesy to my visitors who are kind enough to take the time to leave comments. Being aware of their comments through comment moderation, but not hindering them with word verification is the very least I can do to reciprocate their courtesy to me.
The problem with word verification is that it takes too long. The characters are very often hard to decipher, and it’s frustrating when you get them wrong and have to re-enter the little suckers!
So this campaign is on behalf of busy bloggers. Please spare a thought for the poor bloggers who work so hard at getting round as many blogs as possible to leave sprinkles of blessing and good vibes wherever they go. The terrible proliferation of this awful plague of word verification is a blight on their efforts to make the Land of Blog a cheerier place.

80th Birthday Bookatrix
I love doing these bookatrix cards for special occasions, this one is for one of my customers, I think the flower arrangments on these just make them look so special and the pull bow ribbons just finish them off perfectly they are great for weddings and anniversaries. The paper tea roses and pull bow ribbons are available from my website Princess Favours The borders were created using the Laura Ashley Stamps.
