Good evening everyone. Firstly I would like to thank everyone for their encouragement, support, good wishes and love over the last couple of days. It has been such a delight to see everyone's posts and creations using my designs. What I saw as simple doodles, you all created magic with. They have definitely put a smile on my face as well as made me 'cry' a few happy tears because I am very much loved by so many people. A massive thank you goes to Barbara too as without her support and beautiful blogs, I would still be in hiding and sleeping. Today is the first time in weeks that I have actually created something using some of my designs from various plates which I would like to share with you as a step by step...
