A very big THANK YOU to Elsona, who treated us to some very yummy cupcakes!!!!! While she indicated they had come from the wrong cupcake shop and weren’t as nice “as the other shops” I didn’t hear anyone complaining. I have to admit, I am some what thankful for the mistake as Elsona has promised to bring the right ones this month…YUM!!!!

Congratulations to Jodie who won the raffle and as a result got to dig in my goody bag for her prize. This was the first time that Jodie had won the raffle and very fitting as she had announced it was her new years resolution to win!!!! Guess you’ll have to think of a new one now.

August card swap

The idea for the theme for August's card swap was to make a card for men. It always seems difficult to make cards for the men in our lives, but the participants in this month's challenge did really well!

July card swap

The theme for July's card swap was Christmas in July, and once again there were some truly inspiring card designs submitted!
