In fact we are quite shocking at remembering our wedding  anniversary - it's usually while we are on summer holiday so you're not really keeping a note of the date. Perhaps this year will be different as it's 20 years - I was hoing to re-do our honeymoon which was to West Coast America but it's a bit pricey with the children so perhaps it can wait until 25 years when they are older and won't want to come with us.   My evening isn't going to be very romantic either as it's a case of the usual Mu...

Tea for Two   The new Spring/Summer catalogue launched on 1st February and I adore the tea for two designer series paper. I'm hoping to share this with lots of people and have a class planned including a tea caddy, cards plus lots of extra paper and card to take home. See my Classes page for more details. Here are the photos of my samples.
