Hi again everyone,

I am posting pictures below of all the wonderful creations from the swap, so if you would rather postie brings you a surprise, look away now! lol!

APRIL'S SWAP ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi folks,

firstly I must apologise for this being later than usual......won't bore you with details but things haven't been too great here, including the big bombshell that my DH has been made redundant! As I am not working (I am a full-time SAHM of 3 and carer for our Autistic son,) he is the only wage-earner, and our energies have been devoted to trying to sort essential things out for the last couple of weeks.

Onto more cheery things! This month, the theme will be............(drum roll please!)

EASTER/NEW BEGINNINGS



 









Please interpret this however you see fit :) 

You could choose a 'cute n fluffy' Easter, with bunnies, eggs, lambs and chicks, or one based on the traditional Easter story. OR you might even choose a new baby, a marriage, a new house, baby animals.............I could go on and on, but I'm sure you see what I mean!!!!


I do hope my pictures gave you some ideas and got you thinking!

If you would like to join in this month, then please leave a comment below, or send me an email (addy on the top sidebar.) Please take a moment to read the details/rules of the swap (also on the sidebar.)

For those of you who took part last month, thank you, and apologies for the delay in posting them out.....I will get it done asap, and will also post pics of the blog.....thanks for being patient.

Hugs, Ali x

Seeing Red.....a Sneak Peek!

Well, February is nearly at an end, and that means it's almost time for the ATCs to be swapped and posted. But before I do, there are still a few to come, so I thought I'd give you a few sneak peeks at what the postie could well be bringing your way in the next week or so.







Has that left you wanting more.....? Won't be long and I'll post them all in their full glory!
