Well did you remember to put your clocks forward? It certainly meant a very, very early start for me this morning as the Australian GP started the new Formula 1 season.  I have been a huge fan since I was a small child and never miss a race.  McLaren is my favourite team and the fact that 2 British boys race for them is a wonderful bonus!  The race was a great start to the season with Lewis 2nd and Jenson 6th.

I think that’s enough motor racing for now…….

I promised to draw 3 names for a handmade brooch today, several of you had 2 entries as you linked to your websites, thank you so much for all your comments.

Here are the 3 winners

WOW! Fab easy to follow tutorial, with clear step by step photos. Brooch is stunning.

Sharon and Julie please can you let me know which colour you would like and I’ll get busy making them !

I have some notebooks to show you today, a few weeks ago we attended a Stampin’ Up! regional training with more than 20 of my team attending I wanted to make them something lovely.

I have used the in colour designer series paper stack, Pear Pizzazz ribbon and decorated them with punched flowers.

Since we now have a gentleman in our team, Trevor I made his notebook a little differently.

Happy Stampin’
