Friday Sketchers # 143, Stampavie and More # 130, Bunny Zoe's Crafts # 9 and Dream Valley # 1

I was hoping to have this card posted last night but unfortunately Hollie somehow broke the printer and I couldn't print out the sentiment.  She had been trying to print something out and it just started making weird noises and saying there was an error.  Hubby and I both checked it out but it just wouldn't work, so new printer bought this morning and card finished.  Could have done without the extra expenditure but these things happen.

I am entering my card into four challenges:-
Friday Sketchers # 143 - Follow Sketch
Stampavie and More # 130 - Welcome
Bunny Zoe's Crafts # 9 - Spring - Flowers - (flowers on papers and image as well as card
Dream Valley # 1 - Anything Goes


one of the pearls seem to have moved, only noticed it when checking blog entry, will try and get it photographed again and re-entered on blog

Katina had asked me what type of shop we have.  Never realised in my posts I hadn't mentioned this.  We have two shops and we sell guitars, drums, keyboards, etc and we also have guitar and drum lessons. 

I have also forget to let you know that my little niece is being called Lydia with her middle names being Kathryn Jane after her mum.


This is my eldest daughter Shannon with Lydia.  Shannon is besotted with her and couldn't wait for her to waken so she could get to nurse her.  We were all out for our dinner on Sunday evening as my dad's birthday is on Wednesday. 


Shannon took this photograph of me and Lydia.  I don't like getting my photograph taken but this one isn't too bad.


Shannon took this photograph on her mobile, although it is not that clear she looks so alert to be only 3 weeks today.

Sorry for the long post, thanks for popping by and visiting, all your comments are very much appreciated.  Off now to do some ironing, maybe get another card started and then tonight I am taking the girls to see The Saturdays in concert with supporting band Twenty Twenty.

Oh, what a little dolly chops Lydia is! So pretty and oooh, I want a cuddle!!
Love your card Donna - the image is perfect for a new home card. Pretty papers too.
Now a musical instrument shop would never have entered my head - how interesting! Are you all musicians in your family? One of my regrets is not continuing with my piano lessons when I was little. I hated me teacher as she used to rap my knuckles with one of those really long pencils when I played a wrong note! xx

.....and yeah I did wonder about your shop, funny how I just assumed it would be craft! :D you wish! lol

I have never seen this image before btw, and its very sweet. The punched lace strip looks fab and as usual a very pretty card with a great inside to match. I bet if you didnt do the inside now it would feel unfinished! :)
