New Year....

Morning crafty peeps... hope you've all had a fantastic Christmas and New Year :-) The last 12 months have been pretty busy with work but it paid off and i got a promotion!!... This year, now things are settling,  i plan to get back to crafting... which leads me to a few questions...

I finally changed back to my maiden name and as I haven't maintained my blog so much i'm wondering whether to start a new one and move to word press?... Any thoughts on this would be appreciated i.e ease of use etc...

I'm also looking for new custom stamps and watermarks, but for today i shall be mostly crafting :-)

I'll leave you with a pic of the memory/gratitude jar i cobbled together yesterday, whilst i dig out my pens to see if i can still colour!!


Hugs
