Hello me lovelies

I hope you are all keeping well!

Hello & Thanks to my new followers for following my little old blog...means a lot *Mmwah*

I haven't really done a great deal today except looking into buying a little plastic Growhouse....I think that's what they are called....mmmm...I'm sure they are, oh well never as you probably know what I'm on about anyway :o)

Anyhoo my 9 yr old called Adam has been doing some planting at school, his class are trying to grow pea's which i think it maybe for their school allotment plus it might be to do with a science project too....well he's absolutely loving it so he has asked me if we could grow some tomatoes, cucumbers, flowers & the list goes on...& on...& on...& on so i thought oh what the hell lets give it a go and see what happens :o/

so off i went to Range and bought some seed starter packs you can get with their very own little propagator and what a bargain they was only £1.50, all we need to do now is get them planted *fingers crossed* eh!!

(Will keep you updated on these)

Right onto tonight's card & as you can guess by the title....yes Ive done another Christmas card and a very bright one indeed, i used a Forever Friends Christmas clear stamp which is very versatile and can be used for birthday's etc

I'll show you the card so you can see for yourself......but please this does come with a WARNING and what I'm mean by this is....go & get yourself some sun glasses!!

Really bright...isn't it, quite blinding but i did warn you!!
