Hi Girls, just a quickie, two in one day is more than enough..lol....
My Grandaughter, Mia has been busy crafting this afternoon with me, she was lucky enough to be given a gorgeous set from AuntySue, and she has been busy assembling it and making flowers etc; for it, I thought I should share it with you, I think she did it brilliantly, all on her own too....Big thanks to Sue, your a life saver at times..lol...

Thankyou for looking, Mia would love to know what you think if you have time.xxxxxxx

CraftyCatz challenge No 88

Good morning you lovely lot, and a Happy Friday to you all, hope you all had a good week and not to many problems along the way.
This week at CraftyCatz it is the lovely Linda' turn to host, she asked us to 'Add a Charm'...so c'mon girls, dig out your charms and come join us, we are sponsored by Sassy Studio this week.

Here is a little about them.

Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for a year now, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being...I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born! It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months.I still try to keep
Lindsay Dyer: keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy!
