This is not a Christmas card!


Morning Fluffers!

Where did that weekend disappear to?!

Monday morning of course means time for a new Cupcake. This week, Jane has chosen Don't look at the Light. We want to see all your sparkly stuff. We're sponsored by Cupcake Cards and Crafts, Saturated Canary and Polka Doodles.

I got my glimmer mists out and had a lovely time merrily spritzing my background and the flower. It doesn't show up so well in the picture, but it has a lovely subtle shimmer up close and personal.


Krista at Saturated Canary, very kindly offered each of The Cupcakes an image. This is Hand Me Down, a Ragamuffin and as soon as I saw her, she made me think of my Mum. Mum used to make all our clothes when I was little and these days makes the most amazing, beautiful things out of 'stuff'. To keep in with the hand-me-down theme, I used scraps of paper to make a patchwork background and flower.

Gosh, all this using up stuff means there's a space on my desk. Hmmmm, what can I put there...?! ;)

Don't forget to head over to Cupcake and see the fabby creations from the rest of The Girls.
