Amanda has done it again.... Being surrounded by all her boys...six..yep six of them.... imagine feeding six boys!! Don't worry... she manages quite well by locking herself in her little scrap room to create masterpieces and then throwing out some food every now and then to let them fight over it and to keep them from gnawing through the door to leave her to create...I know that is what happens because how else could she do soooo many LO's??  survival of the fittest over at her abode... anyway back to the point..... she has created this pinker than pink stunning LO of herself as a child full of flowers and butterflies and lots of my goodies featured here. Such a pretty LO Amanda - Thanks so much!!!

sending out my love

One of the best thing about this craft is all the amazing friends you make.
You may not ever get the privilege to meet them in the flesh, share a drink and a giggle, but they still let you into their lives and you into your own.. still get to have a laugh and even a cry...
 Well I have cried today after reading Nadia's post...
 Just want you to know Nadia that I am sending all my love and support to you and your gorgeous family and hope you find strength... I am so sorry for you heartbreaking loss... I wish there was something more I could do.

ZZ Shop showcase.....

Just wanted to share with you this amazing layout which was created by one of my bestest Bloggy Pals Amanda Taylor - she emailed me to let me know her goodies had arrived and literally 30 minutes later... this beautiful page was in my in box. Seriously - I don't know how she does it - Im sure you all know her well as she is on EVERY challenge site I go on.. popping her little face out.

She was kind enough to use my products on this LO - you can see the raffia daisies in the top left, the ribbon rosettes down near the bottom right corner and my new - yet to be released - fluffy flower is the blue one there too.

 Such a gorgeous page - be sure to go over to her blog and check out her pages and say hi!!

and by the way - ZZ Top are not an "OLD BAND"... I still rock out with them while I vacuum ... but you are the only one who has picked up on that Amanda!!!

Rock on girls
