Todays kind sponsor is THE WHIFF OF JOY STAMPS they have kindly put up a lovely christmas stamp for the prize which will be used time and time again I am sure....

It was my Granddaughter Jayd's 15th birthday so I decided to use the Greeting Farm Creeper Crew Wednesday and put a touch of red in her hair and do her make-up and colour her socks just like Jayd, when I gave it to her she laughed and thought it was funny what Teenager would not have some ATTITUDE!!!!!

The Stamp is G. Farm C.C Wednesday HERE

They are such amazing value at 100 for just 55p!! What are you waiting for grab them HERE before they go out of stock :D
