Hello all, it's lovely to have you drop in today, but I'm sending you away again almost immediately! I just wanted to let you know I'm over at the Country View Crafts Projects blog today with a card (yes, a card - and not only that... it's a Christmas card).
It would be lovely if you have a moment to pop over and check it out, and I'm finally getting myself caught up a bit (if I ignore the looming tax return), so I hope to be catching up in Craftyblogland too!
Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours.

This is absolutely gorgeous, I love it. Beautiful effects from such simple 'ingredients', you've inspired me to go and have a play with my inks :) Katrina x
Lovely card, Alison. I can see myself walking in the quiet wood at dusk, whilst snow falls. I just received this die - great inspiration to use it! xxx Lynn
Alison I am desperately trying to do a wee catch-up session as I am so far behind with blog visits, has been one of those weeks. I most certainly will pop on over. Wishes Lynne (warm thanks for sharing my Giveaway ... good luck!)
