Good morning everyone I hope your all well and had a brilliant weekend...ours was full of moving boxes and sofas and endless beds and bags and on and on and on...it seemed forever but finally our little princess is settled in her beautiful new home...its a gorgeous little terraced three bedroom house with a fabulous new kitchen and she loves it to bits...the icing on the cake its all of 5 mins walk to her job...bad thing is our baby sitting cat duties are over and her gorgeous little ball of fluff has gone to his new home too...I will miss them both so so much...you know when you have had a really bad few months and you breath a sigh of relief because life seems to be finally lifting that bad luck death grip on you and then what happens?...something even worse happens, something life changing...something you hoped never would...I cant really talk about it yet but I would like to ask you all a favour please send us positive thoughts today and for those who believe would you please say a prayer for us...believe me we need it desperately and I really believe in the power of positive thought don't you...right enough bringing you down (sorry for that folks) and onto my card for today...this little cutie pie is of course from Mo's Digital Pencil...look at that adorable little face...shes called Missing Tooth C and I used my usual distress inks to colour her...whatever papers I chose had to bright and pretty didn't they so I chose to use them from this stunning Echo Park - Here & Now 6x6 Paper Pad I love them don't you?...I added a sparkly smile sentiment with stickers on the strip at the bottom but you can barely see it I'm afraid...I finished with some gorgeous wooden buttons from the Prima Buttons - Tea-Thyme pack...the buttons and paper pad are from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...the fab sketch I used is from Sketch Saturday challenge and I'm also entering it for the Crafty Calender Challenge and the Paper Creator's Crafts challenge....I'm off to lock myself in my craft room until all the positive vibes and prayers from you all reach us...keeping my head well down and concentrating on some colouring very very hard...whatever your up to today I hope its a wonderful one for you and thanks for the vibes
