morning everyone, it's a damp and chilly Bank Holiday Monday here.  I hope the sun's shining where you are.   I can't believe its May 1st - where has April gone.  I've not done any crafting this week but have decluttered the house. Harry announced he'd be home from Uni in three weeks (year 1 completed, can you believe it!) and looking round here I wondered where he, and all his belongings were going to go.  So out came the black bags and after numerous trips to the tip and charity shops there's space for him to come home whop whop!   Thank you to everyone who left a comment on the April giveaway post.  I loved reading them as always.  Random.org chose comment no 118 as our winner this month.   The comment was left by Ann Huge congrats Ann, please mail me your contact details and address so I can get your goodies off in the post to you.  Following the sneak peeks of the new mid season releases from Graphic 45 last week we ar...
