New website feature
I understand that some people don’t like leaving comments on blogs and some just visit so many that they don’t really have time to comment as they’d like, so I set my web-maestro the task of making it simpler for you. After a lot of research he did it (didn’t doubt it for a minute...
Pat’s 70th
My sister-in-law had a momentous birthday this month and so I made her a special card. It took me about 3 evenings of faffing about with it to get it how I wanted but I was happy with the final results.

Well, it’s taken some time (a whole year I guess) but I’ve finally finished all 26 Alphabet Cards. Actually, I have done 27 ‘cos I wasn’t happy with ‘D’ so I did a second version . I think it’s obvious that I left most of the difficult letters to the last...
