In the spotlight!

Oh how I wish I was!!

Hi blogworld,

Well, ummm, no not really!!  I'm not one for hogging the spotlight!  I did however really want to have a go at the spotlight challenge over at Passion for Promarkers but problem is I've had no time this last week,

So this was knocked out in a couple hours this morning - but it's the only card you'll see this week.

I've now got DT cards to make for challenges next week and I can't see me having time to do that and make random cards, plus I've got painting and then the housework I neglected last week -  so this'll be it for this week blogworld!

Thanks for all the lovely comments and advice you wonderful lot left of my last whingy, whiny, waffley post about my angst over parenting. We did as all of you said to do - stuck to our guns, got the bed we wanted for SHMbO and she loves it!  I have pictures, not of her as she wouldn't stay still for long enough, but of the room and bed, which I'll share over the weekend.

See you soon,

Sarah
