It probably will not be a long post this week as I am having to post through the dongle which costs large amounts of money. Our broadband connection is down at the moment due to the computer having mislaid its network card and drivers.
As you can see, my desk is a little tidier than it has been in previous weeks. The two piles of cards are from a Crafters Companion Peter Rabbit kit. It has been sitting around for a while, taking up valuable space, so I decided that as part of the tidy up, it was time to make the cards. There is not a lot to show really this week. You can probably see my little pot of dog treats which are very useful in removing illgotten gains from the mouths of our two little horrors. There is also a small pot of blue embossing powder, all ready to follow Shaz (Silverwolf), with her tutorial on hearts..
The only other thing I have to show you this month is a very simple card for a friend's birthday. It has to be posted so needed to be as flat as possible. The picture is a photo of a Rosa Mundi Versicolour (the Apothocary's Rose), and the background colour was created through My Craft Studio, where I put the design together. The verse was one I particularly liked from a little book of sayings which I keep close at hand. The recipient likes things to be plain and simple so this card fits the bill.
I will try to get round as many of you as possible this week, but computer problems may limit this, so please forgive me if I do not get round to see you. meanwhile, why don't you all go and follow the links on Julia's home, which will explain what we are all doing. You will find them at

PS I have just tried to leave some comments, but Blogger does not seem to want me to leave comments when I am using the dongle and not the broadband, I will look at as many desks as possible, and comment as soon as I can.

Hope your internet gets fixed soon Maggie, nothing worse than when technology won't co-operate. Very pretty Rose card too.
