Back with some exciting news!

I have no cards to show you today. I have been on holiday in Dorset for the past two weeks staying in a lovely Caravan with superb views of the Dorset countryside and the Jurassic coast.
I had scheduled lots of posts to appear when I was away, thank you to all of you who left comments over the past two weeks, it has been lovely reading them all.
The kids, my Hubby and I had a wonderful two weeks and did lots of fun things, we went to Monkey World, Jersey, Crealy where I made friends with lots of lovely goats. I only wish I had taken a larger bag with me to smuggle one out!
I haven't got many photos as I took the wrong lead to charge up my camera and the battery ran out.

We spent time by the sea looking at the waves and gorgeous scenery while the kids made sandcastles and we took a pedalo out for a sail along the coastline. It was the perfect break. We came back a day early as Jack and I came down with a nasty cold on Wednesday and the weather was not very promising on Friday. My cold has got worse and has gone down on to my chest since I got back and I am laid up in bed today so I will have to wait a bit longer to play with the new stash I bought when I was away.

This is a piccie of the boys on our first trip to the beach in Weymouth. It is our dream to move down to Dorset one day and be close to all the places we love. You can't fail to be inspired by all the lovely villages and coastline and we have come back even more determined than ever to make our dream a reality.

When I was away, whilst checking my emails on my Hubby's Iphone, I found out I had been picked to be part of the DT of a brand new Challenge blog. I am so happy to have been chosen, the other DT girls are such amazingly talented crafters!

Emma has recently opened the most magnificent Craft Store which is an Aladdin's cave of beautiful crafty stash and she is starting weekly Challenges. The first Challenge starts next Saturday and Emma has some lovely Candy on the blog that you all have a chance to win. Make sure you go over and take a look now and also check out Emma's fabulous store, she has lots of lovely new Prima papers just in! I am off to place another order now before I go back to sleep :-)
Have a great Saturday!
