Little Claire....Tea Party tag card

Happy October me lovelies

I know i can't believe its October either, this year as flown by so fast before we know Christmas will be here...Yippee...but first of all it's my birthday this month...another Yippee!!

This year i am hoping my lovely family will give me some pennies for me birthday because unfortunately a couple of weeks a go when the cold weather started to set in, my o/h half turned the heating on but didn't check to make sure there wasn't anything on the floor near the radiator in my craftroom, anyhoo needless to say there was my Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs near it and unfortunately a majority of them dried up....i would of gone mad but it was my fault just as much it was his because i should of put them away!!
I aren't saying i am not a little upset thou because i am but it's only because i do love colouring my images but i guess it will be a bit limited until i can get myself some new pens so please do bear with me until then, it will mean some cards i will be sharing with you will be ones that i made a while a go that haven't shared before or ones that don't include colouring with pens.
Sorry!!!
