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!!!!!
