I hope you are all ok, with all this snow around ? H's school was open as normal Monday, although the paths on the way there was treacherous and i nearly went over a couple of times. Yesterday i was able to take the car out for the first time, since Thursday, (as it scares the 'S***' out of me driving in the snow) as the roads were almost back to normal. Yesterday H had to go to school dressed as a 'Fairy Tale Character' - he chose a 'Wolf' and although he looked really good, the outfit had cost me £15 !!!
I would also like to thank the lovely ladies at Oldie But A Goodie for picking Sealed With A Kiss to be in their top 3.
Today's stamp is one of the ones i managed to get from 'The Glitter Pot' for £1, when they were selling off 2nd hand stamps, that had been previously used in classes. The papers are Echo Park 'Truly Yours' and i've stiched (i so hate sewing, but thought i would give it ago) the ribbon and pulled it, causing it to ruffle / frill up and i like the look, makes a change, from it just lying flat. The punch is MS - 'Valentine Lace' (must treat myself to a different one, as i have used this one so many times), sentiment is Inkadinkadoo - 'Happy Everything', flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and leaves Sizzix die - 'Flowers, Branches And Leaves Set'.
