HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY to all the "Aussies"  - hope you are having a great day !!!
Thought it was a perfect time to have a "spring clean" on my blog - new background, new header etc.

Hope you like the new format and colours.

Huge thank you to everyone for their birthday wishes - I very much appreciate everyone taking the time to email me and wish me well on my special day.

I have started a new fulltime job this week as receptionist at the local High School so my free time is limited now but hope to get into a routine soon and still have lots of time to relax and create in my craft room !
