Dont you just love the colour pink

Evening all

Well I returned to work this week and dont I know I am back, its hectic as usual, with lots to catch up on.

I have started the year of well so far with both raising money for the elected  2012 charity and keeping up the crafting. I also forgot about some cards that I had left at the butchers last year and when I went this morning he gave me some proceeds he had raised, so I have now raised over £300 for Cancer Research in 2011.

Anyway today I went totally pink (my favourite colour) with this little cutie and me thinks I will need to buy this one myself. I have used one of the saturated canary images that are appearing all over the blogs and I have to say they are wonderful.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Anything goes

Charity 2012

Morning all

No card yet today, but i am working on it. I have been using my photoshop software that I got for Christmas this morning and  designed a new banner for the blog. Its not the final banner just my first attempt.

Last year I raised £290 for breast cancer not as good as the year before, due to my operation I was not able to put full attention to attending the summer fares in order to sell them and was mainly concentrating on special orders. The good news is a have a good stock to sell for 2012.

For 2012 I will be supporting the Alzheimer's charity as my Mum was recently diagnosied with this illness and I want to do all I can to support this charity.
