Well Monday again, and how fast does it come around, I ask you, hope you all had a fabulous weekend, mines was different, my car has went to Car Heaven, so I am going to be grounded for a longer period of time, so not a happy bunny, luckily with Brian being away golfing with his work last week, he had the company car for the weekend, so had a chance to go and catch up with all the children and grandchildren, wonder when that will happen again..will miss them so much....

Today there is a new challenge at Incy Wincy - Make a Pocket Card, I got an amazing image (Lucy feeding her Rubber Duck) from Stamping Chef to play with, they are one off our sponsors this week, offering $10 certificate for their store, to a winner, we also have 3 Individual Stamps from Pink Gem Designs..   The winners from last weeks challenge can be found here:-

I decided to make a Gift card for one off Jenny's friends, baby girl, who will be 1 in July, and I just cannot believe that the year has gone this quickly, Sophie is a regular visitor to our house, and she is growing into a beautiful, happy wee girl and I am proud to know her and her (Mummy, Carly, who had a tumor behind her eye, whilst pregnant with Sophie), so she is a bit of a miracle, as they had to operate, whilst Sophie was inside, and just last week, started reconstruction surgery on her face, having a bone removed from her head to give her a pallate, she is an amazing young woman, and I hope with all my heart, that she recovers, she is so happy go lucky, and I love her very much.

Have a great day, my lovelies, xxxx
