WOYWW

This year seems to be romping along ... can't believe I was whisking up and flipping pancakes last night ... Christmas doesn't seeem 2 minutes ago!!  So Lent starts in our house ... DH is giving up chocolate mini rolls and biscuits, much to the girls' delight as they hate the fact that he 'pinches' them  The girls are giving up whining and sulking ... that's not going to last long!!  I have given up cheese and crisps ... I soooo love cheese and crisps!!
Anyway at least I haven't given up crafting, although life has been so busy over the last couple of weeks that my desk looks, well bare!!
OK not bare ... but the tag and stamp folder have been out since Sunday and nothing has been done with them.  However I got happy mail this morning - I won a TH stamp set from commenting on his blog ... one of the new ones ...
this one to be precise!!!!  So I am hoping that it is going to get the creative juices flowing today.  I have these stamps already in other sets, but I am loving the size of these ... brill for smaller cards and tags.  Just need to get work finished today and then PLAY!!!

Have a fab day everyone, and if you have time take a snoop across the crafty desks of blogland, courtesy of the amazing Julia.  I will be joining in this afternoon, when the little 1 I mind is having a well earned sleep!!

Don't hate me....! Love your stamps can't wait to see what you make Cathy. As for giving up for Lent....I can see the girls lasting long! If my son is anything to go by. Don't think I could give up cheese or crisps and yep we're having pancakes tonight instead.

How lucky are you, fab stamps. I have the butterfly ones and the French script but I love the dress form one as well. Don't forget to show us what you do with them.
If you are still feeling lucky I have some blog candy on offer.
