Hello My Friends

Hi all I'm not really sure where the days & months go but I'm going to try really hard to blog at least once a week in time for the for the weekend for starters for a catch up - as I'm sure you all know the new IB+C has launched from SU! & I don't know how they do it but they manage to surpass themselves everytime.

This was one of the wee projects that attendees at my Launch made recently, a covered notepad. I just love this colour combo - it's so bright & cheery; Pacific Point, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight & it uses the new My Friend stamp set, which I love.

Well the Rugby World Cup has kicked off in NZ & last Friday was a frenetic day from dawn to very late for me so I thought I'd just share a collage of my day's experiences!

Hope your weekend goes well I have a rugby match to attend tonight - go the AB's
