New Letraset Stamp Packs

 Letraset have come up with another new idea, specially designed stamps  that come in a pack with three yummy promarkers. They are large stamps, and full of detail which makes colouring them fun. I thought this little miss wearing her Easter bonnet was perfect for an Easter card for Kiki. I coloured her with very soft colours, and kept the whole card fresh and springlike

and a close up of her with her bonnet.......

When I was a little girl, my mother always bought both her girls a new outfit for church on Easter Sunday, I seem to remember it was always a summery type outfit, so whatever the weather, my sister and I shivered in pretty voile dresses, feeling very very proud of the way we looked. The reason for this burst of nostalgia is that one Easter, I didn't only have the dress, I had a hat as well. Cream straw with a cornflower blue velvet ribbon and tiny poppies and cornflowers on the brim. I had red shoes as well, I can remember the blisters they gave me to this day. Sigh....


We are off to Aberdovey this weekend for a relaxing break by the sea, it was a Christmas gift from one of our sons and we have been looking forward to it. Aberdovey is a tiny place on the Welsh coast, stuck in a fifties time warp, the whole place seems relaxed and far away from the hustle and bustle of 2012. My in-laws used to have a house there, so we spent a lot of time there when the children were small, so there will be nostalgic walks across the sand dunes where they used to play, and nostalgic visits to the pub where we used to play! So keep your fingers crossed for at least a bit of sunshine for us, I will take my camera and laptop and report back over the weekend
