He has decided on his next project and that is to put up another shelf above my desk and lower the one that is already there. My 18 x A5 folders will then be easier for me to reach - they hold allllllll my dies. He says I will have more room on my desk (for me to clutter up of course) if I move my printer, free view and Sky box onto the new shelf! He is such a lovely hubby!
You might see that I have now mastered the pearl blobs - I bought myself a Pearl Wand from Pinflair and I can really manage this - yay!!!! Anyway this was the outside - the ladybird has glaze on it and looks much better in real life!!
However, I couldn't stick to sugar and had to have a little spice inside the card -
This really made him chuckle - the truth is out there! - I found the poem on the internet, again by Jon Brattan.
