A quick warning to all my wonderful Followers that I will be MIA for a while and please do not think that I am ignoring you if I am not stopping by your lovely blogs in the next few weeks. We are moving, fortunately within the same neighbourhood, where we are currently residing. We are getting the keys to our new apartment this coming Sunday afternoon and will start getting some of our belongings into the apartment, Sunday evening. A furniture removal company will move the big furniture items this coming Monday morning and we will be carting all the boxes, etc. during the course of the next three days until next Thursday. Scaling down is hard, but leaves a feeling of freedom at the same time. We thoroughly spring cleaned and got rid of so many unused items we haven't even touched the last decade, less is definitely more lol. I am looking forward to packing out and settling into our new little home and of course getting my craft/workroom up and running again.
I am not leaving my lovely Followers bare handed though, I leave you with a tri-fold card I made some time ago, for a Card Day I taught, but never posted it here. The images are from Bugaboo Stamps and can be found here. the design papers are from FabScraps. The images have been coloured with H2O water colour pencils.
