Tulip Jungle

Hi,

Well after a busy half term, i'm now back card making and running around catching up on appointments, that i don't manage to do, when Harrison is off school. Tonight Alan, 2 friends of ours and I are off to see 'Vincent And Flavia in The Last Tango' and i'm so looking forward to it, as it brings back so many happy memories, of when we were in Argentina (10 years ago).

It's Mother's Day over here in the UK next Sunday, so with that in mind, i thought i had better make Alan's Mum one : Penny Black - 'Tulip Jungle / 2300K / 2001', the sentiment, stamped on a plain LOTV tag : Penny Black - 'The Sweetest / 30-294/ 2015', papers : LOTV - 'Bonnets And Bowties', die : Memory Box - 'Spring Border', ribbon : The Ribbon Girls.

Hi,
