Flowers, exciting news (for me anyhow) and a new stamp set to be won


Morning Peeps, have some exciting news to share, going to be a Great Granny in August.......how on earth did that happen as I can't be old enough yet. But as eldest daughter pointed out I did start very young so it was bound to happen before long.

And on top of that my first set of stamps are being released on Hochanda by Chocolate Baroque on Friday 5th March at 1pm (Lesley also has a 9am show with different stamps). Although I can't draw to save my life I do enjoy playing with words and often computer generate for my work. So when Lesley asked if I would like them made into stamps I was chuffed to bits. This is the first set and more in the pipeline 😊 

Lesley was really keen to give away a set of my stamps so just head over to Allsorts and join in Ellie's 'Feminine' theme for a chance of winning them, plus a second prize of a pretty Butterfly die from Tonic.

So a couple of sneak peeps with the sentiments in action on two of my samples for the shows, the top one also uses Harlequin Bouquet which is in the same show and below with Crackling Rose, again in the show.


Have a lovely weekend and thanks as always for your visit.

Fliss said...

Hello Brenda, trying desparately to catch up after being missing for so long on the blogging front mainly due to helping to care for my increasingly frail 95 year old father in law.
That along with my DT stuff and part time work for Andy's business has meant cutting short the time I have to do social media etc.
Many congratulations on your very exciting stamp designing news and will have to look and see what you've done.
Wishing you all the best, Fliss xx
