Please don't have a heart attack!!!!

Now I know it's been a few months (cough cough) but i've been really busy and unfortunately the blog had to take a back seat but i'm now hoping to be back a bit more regularly!!

I've got a few things that I will be uploading in the following days (life permitting), some scrap pages and some cards that i've made for the craft shop that I work in, so my little brown and white sheep (ha ha Mrs Wonka :o)) won't be the first thing that you see.
