Hi All,
This is the very first posting on my new blog. It seems everyone is blogging these days so I thought it was about time I joined in too.
Hope everyone had a lovely easter. I spent hours completing my canvas scrapbook album that I started in a workshop with Donna Downey a couple of weeks ago. I can't believe how long it took, but now it's finally finished and I'm very proud of it so just had to share the finished result.
