I had a nice surprise in the post this week. I won £25 on the premium bonds. Not a fortune but enough to buy some Greeting Farm stamps I have wanted after seeing the wonderful cards you other ladies are creating. I struggled to find the set I wanted as everybody was out of stock. However I checked out one of my follower's websites and found the Rain Snow Shine set for sale at Quixotic Paperie. Very reasonable p&p rates and free for spends of £25 or more. Of course I had to spend all of my winnings. I placed the order on Wednesday and the nice postie has just delivered it so thanks Elaine for such a prompt response. As well as the Anya set I also bought another Greeting Farm stamp, some flowers, charms and flatbacked pearls.
Now onto my entry for 4 challenges which I managed to make last night just in time for some of these. The first challenge is Winter Wonderland with the Christmas present challenge which I interpreted as a present being a kiss under the mistletoe and present meaning contemporary. The swirls are for the Penny Black challenge, the sketch is from Papertake and the 4th challenge is the use of cutting dies and/or punches for Dutch Dare.
