LET HEAVEN AND NATURE SING

Absolutely love this image which is from Stampavie - it's a Gillian Roberts image and stamps perfectly every single time. Papers are again k and co peppermint twist - think I may now have used up most of my pad.
Again have used liberal quantities of crushed glass glitter for that frosty look.

Image was coloured with promarkers.

and the lowdown on me

1. In the 80's my husband and I lived in Sandbach in Cheshire for 4 years where my dd 1 was born.

2. My body tells me each day that I am all of my 48 years, however in my head it is still 1976 and I am 15. (remember the fabulous hot summer that year?)

3. I love yankee candles and my favourite is vanilla cookie.

4. I am the slowest eater in the world and my family say this is due to my talking during meals (me no!!)

5. My favourite restaurant/cafe is in Florida and is called 'Panera' - they do the most fantastic sarnies and salads and it just happens to be next door to Michaels store.

6. I hate football with a vengance!

7. Music has played a huge part of my life and both my daughters play instruments.
