I've been given this award by the lovely Jacqui at my local craft store....Simply Create....how did I ever manage to function before Jacqui opened her little heaven of all things crafty and a big thank you for thinking of me....I really appreciate it.Now this award is a bit like the old gal herself.....been round the block a few times and I'm sure that all of the folks that inspire me have already had it several times....so I am chickening out on passing it on and to be honest there are far too many folks to mention......and as for the interesting facts.....well not a lot interesting about little old me that you don't already know.....I know I have my party pooper hat on today and if you saw me...you would probably say....my grumpy face too.
Catch up with you all later.....Hugs Kath xxxx

Another fantastic card, Kath. I seem to be unable to read any posts on Jacquis blog. Maybe I'm just a bit stupid. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, lol
