A BIG Thank You To My Secret Sister

Today in the post I recieved my package from my Secret Sister and I have got to say I was Blown away. It came in the shape of 3 boxes, each beautifully decorated. In each box was a kit. Each kit has it's own papers, ribbons, brads and Images.

I am so grateful to my Secret Sister for this gorgeous package, Thank you so much. The boxes are stunning and the pictures (and my photography)really do not do them justice. This gift really does have such a personal touch.

I have a feeling I know who my Secret Sister is, but I will have to wait to see if I am right!

Thank you once again

Forever friends

Just for fun I thought I would put these Forever Friends images on here as a little draw as I know some people are finding it hard to get hold of them.

Just leave me a comment and I will get my son to pick a winner out of a hat on Tuesday morning at 8 am GMT.

I would also like to thank everyone who comes to visit my little blog and as you can see by my hits counter I have now gone over the 10,000 hits mark. I will be doing some blog candy to celebrate this, and as I am going to a craft show soon I thought I would wait to get some Blog candy there to give away. So keep your eye out here for that.

I hope you are all having a relaxing weekend
