Ooh...new stamps!

Now, I know we all like new stamps to play with and Denise has launched her own range of stamps called Whimsy Stamps and they're so cute! Have a peek on her blog, there's a chance to win one of them!

Bev's Blog Candy!

Bev has a super-duper blog candy prize up for grabs to celebrate 50,000! Wowzers! Leave a comment to be in with a chance and have a browse of her fab blog at the same time!

I think we all deserve a laugh!

Dawn is having a wee challenge on her blog - with a difference! "All you have to do is take a photo of your crafting space/room and if you're in the photo even better (and if you have any furry crafting buddies I would love to see them too~!!!" I couldn't be in it as I was taking the photo, so Poppy kindly took my place! As you can see, I have the worst craft space ever (yes, this is my spare room floor!) and should win on pity alone!! We were hoping to move this year but the flippin' 'credit crunch' put paid to that and our house wouldn't sell so we're stuck! I say 'we' as Jamie is always asking me to put it away but I can't possibly!! Bless him!

Also, do you have snow where you are? I have never seen snow like this in October, especially in the south! Here's the views from my house, it's so pretty!


One more thing, I've just finished a cross stitch I started a couple of months ago and I thought I'd show you! I got it off Ebay and I think it applies to lots of us!

Thanks for stopping by and listening to my waffle!
