Almost my Birthday, in more ways than one

This post will stay at the top until 12.03.13

Good morning everyone and welcome to my new follower.  
I can hardly believe that on the 8th of March I will have been blogging for a whole year. What a year that has been. I have to say a huge thanks to so many people for the inspiration they give me with the amazing cards they produce, especially Bev Rochester, as if I had never found her blog I would never have started, mind you I would be a few thousand pounds richer and wouldn't have boxes of 'stuff' all over my house :). I wouldn't also be part of two of the best DT, and still can't believe they chose me to join them.
 The other thing I am celebrating, or should I be hiding from is the BIG 60 on March 12th, a birthday I'm really not looking forward to as I think that means I am old :(.

Anyway enough waffle. To thank the people who decided to follow my blog, many of whom I think of as friends, I have a little candy to share with you. I will draw it on my birthday.




It contains:-
 a Core impressions 12 x 12 pad( brown and cream collection), 
20 sheets Neenah classic crest card,  
Flexmarkers set 3 (13 pens)plus cool grey 4 and 5, 
4 x American Seam Bindings, 
3 x assorted flowers from WOC, 
1 pk prima flowers pink, 
5 x silver butterflies, and assorted charms.. 

I will delete any candy only blogs. But would ask you to show my candy on your  blog and be a follower of mine, and leave a comment to enter. I will post world wide to the winner who of course will be chosen at random

So not only are you a wonderful friend you are also extremely generous with it too!! So, one year blogaversary eh? You have done a great job and I really love everything you make, your colouring and style are so fresh and you inspire me with every card you make. As for the big 60, you only look as old as you think you feel (or something like that!). I am 50 next year and have been worry about that for the last four years at least!!
