Debbie
Ohhhhhhhhh...more pics of the remodel, please! Enjoy the smell of fresh paint. Sweet!
Wow, thanks so, so very much for this giveaway and for a chance to win some of your amazing products. It's very generous of you. I wish all of us "Good Luck". Btw, I've been meaning to tell you how much I absolutely adore the "Blossom Bucket" embellishments. They are so much fun to add as an accent to artwork. They also have such a "home spun" feel to them, they are all very warm. They add a sweet, home style feeling to any project. I just thought I''d tell you. Take care and don't work too hard.
All that dust reminds me when my kitchen ceiling fell down and over hundred years of dust n dirt decorated the whole house. at first I thought the cat had knocked the dishes off the side, I rang my mum who told me I was dreaming and go back to bed lol. anyhow, lookin grand and thanks for the awesome giveaway x
I can't wait to see some art! you have such a lovely home! thanks for the chance to win!!
Oh, wozers, how can i not leave a comment and try to win a price, your stamps are soo cool! Thanks for the opportunity!
