It's me! (To quote a song lol)....Morning all... I just wanted to pop in and say 'HI'.... I am still around, but sadly those curve balls have not let up and have eventually worn me down and hit my health, so crafting is on the back-burner at the moment...
Anyway that's enough doom and gloom, I hope you are all well and in a good place, for those who aren't, I really hope and wish your fortune changes soon and that you can escape,Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04137765757740109024noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885507311297704246.post-78027582402286153002015-11-14T13:36:00.000+00:002015-11-14T13:45:39.008+00:00A Snowman's Hug
Happy Saturday all..... Sadly, it's a rainy dreary day here on the south coast today... so a day of Christmas card making, me thinks... So hopefully this little gem of an image will warm your hearts on this November day..
The image is another from Cheryl Grant and is called "Snow Much Love" which I colored with ProMarkers. I kept the layout relatively simple to compliment the Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04137765757740109024noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885507311297704246.post-51237809435572229222015-11-01T20:42:00.001+00:002015-11-01T20:42:48.789+00:00A Jolly Trio

Hi all....I know, I know... Two blog posts in so many days lol...I'm on a roll what can I say...If you pop by regularly, (and if not, welcome).

Good Morning lovely people....Firstly an update on TTPH..... After lots of rallying behind the scenes TTPH WILL stay open but now will become a monthly blog... Starting on the first of each month. Anita has stepped down and Fiona and the admin team have taken it over....So here's to new beginnings!!!

So it's sad news that I bring you today, "Through The Purple Haze" is closing after next weeks challenge.....
