I've a sneak peek today, and a shorter than usual post to share once you get there, so if you've time to spare, you may want to catch up with all the new challenges which kicked off yesterday. You'll find my Artistic Stamper art journalling here, and my Country View Challenges tag here. Oh, and there's also my farewell piece for Artistic Outpost here.
But for now we're off to Calico Crafts for a celebration of the rose, and a celebration of one particular Rose - our extraordinary neighbour, who celebrates her 97th birthday today. That deserves some Shakespeare, don't you think?
I hope you like what you find if you hop over to Calico, and I'll hope to be hopping round for some more visiting in the next few days. I know, I know... promises, promises!!
Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful weekend!
Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose, is a rose.
