Busy, busy, busy!......

Evening ladies, hope you're having a good week so far.
Well, where do I start? A bit of 'self- indulgence' I think! 
 Firstly I'd like to share the fantastic news that I've been invited onto the Lavinia Stamps design team...whoohoo!

I've known for a couple of weeks, but had to keep it a secret, which was very hard. The new challenge blog is going 'live' on Friday 1st March, so you really need to pop over to the website to find out all the details.

Secondly, my lovely youngest son Adam has just opened his 2nd business, a Pet Supplies shop in Bath.




He's already a very successful Animal Behaviourist, so this will only make him more widely known. Watch out, he plans to 'take over' the whole of the South West! I've been helping clean and re-decorate it, hence the reason I'm shattered :-(  My oldest son has a Pharmacy in Bath too, so pretty soon we might take over not just the South West, but the World! haha
Anyway, onto tonight's cards......(I have lots made, that I can't show until next week


 

I just love Clean and Simple cards, and I'm quite content leaving lots of white showing, rather than throwing everything on!

All the cardstock is from the amazing selection at Papermill  
......it really is second to none! 
Checkout the beautiful white'linen' card, and the fantastic array of colours.

The little charms were brought back from our Italian holiday last year.




I've made a few like this for different occasions, they're always big sellers.


 I have my first craft sale of 2013 to attend on Saturday.....

Well, hope you like them.
Thanks for taking the time to visit, and leave comments on all my previous cards, it means so much to me.
Catch you tomorrow, after I've been a 'shop girl' for a few hours, haha
Barbara

    using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, excellent site!

    Firstly, congratulations on your new DT post! Well deserved.

    Secondly, wish your son the best of luck with his new shop. I used to work in the pet supplies business. My first job was in a tiny pet shop which was like an Aladin's cave and had everything. No one could help themselves as there was so much in there they wouldn't know where to look, but we knew where everything was and the prices of every item in stock. I had some laughs in there...like the time I was doing Greased Lightning on top of the bins which held the dog biscuits and they fell and I was buried in shapes and oval! Lol.

    And what beautiful cards...so elegant...unlike me falling off dustbins! Lol.
