Farewell and Thank you

Hello to all my wonderful followers and visitors

I have made the tough and sad decision to discontinue uploading to my blog ...

I have had 5 wonderful years of sharing my cards with you and most of all enjoyed seeing all your fabulous creations and being part of blogland , over that time i have made some lovely new friends in the crafting world ..... with working , family and of cause crafting in my spare time i feel that i just don't seem to get the time to update my blog anymore, therefore sadly i wont be uploading or commenting on any cards for the foreseeable future   , for those of you on DC i will still be posting my cards on there 

I would like to thank everyone who has followed me over the years and especially for all the wonderful comments left on my cards ,they all mean a lot to me and i do appreciate it very much .... 

I will still keep my blog open so i can pop back if i ever get chance 

Happy Crafting Everyone

With lots of love and crafty hugs
