Hi Everyone
I hope the day has been a good one for you.
My share today is showing off a brand new stamp that I won from my lovely blog buddy Debs. (Thank you very much Debs - I promise to take good care of it and ink it up frequently so it feels loved xx)
Debs accidentally bought two of the same stamp and very kindly offered the spare in a candy draw last week.

Mrs Postlady delivered the little beauty yesterday and I couldn't wait to put it to good use.
So here we go .. .. my first make with my new stamp:
This used:
Image: Penny Black "3779F" Love Conquers
Sentiment: Computer Generated
Backing Papers: Raspberry Road
Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Tumbled Glass
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents (which could have done with being allowed to dry a little more but I am short of time)
Crystal Stickles
Cord from the Stash Box
My make is a bit earlier today as I am having a surprise "stay over" by my big baby boy. He has been attending a course in Shrewsbury and rather than drive back to London when the course finishes this afternoon he is coming for a "sleep over" here and then heading back home very early doors!! Which has meant clearing the bed in the spare room .. .. again!!!!
Little baby boy is coming round too so he can catch up with his brother .. .. so all the men in my life together again for an evening. Woo hoo!!! Can't wait.
Shame my DIL isn't with us :-( .. .. but hopefully she is finding something to keep her out of mischief. If I was her I would get all the craft goodies out and make lots of mess .. .. just because she can!!
So an exciting evening followed by an exciting day tomorrow because my lovely Sis and I are off to the NEC. Yay!!!
If anyone else is going tomorrow you will be able to track me down easily as I will be the one smelling of garlic .. .. we are having a prawn and pasta meal tonight that calls for lots of the smelly stuff!! Eeeewwww!!! How unsociable .. .. but very yummy and a family favourite .. .. so it has to be done!!
Have a great evening everyone
Love

Thank you Jules for your lovely message on my “Monday,Blues post ” when I went to look after Mum and Dad . It was so kind of you and I was overwhelmed by your kindness.
Dad is much better now, he has a recurring abscess , but a course of anti-biotics seems to do the trick. Sadly Mum had a massive stroke 4 years this May and will never be fine, she is unable to move or speak , but she can communicate by facial expressions, Dad is her carer , she has 4 x2 carers visits per day. So when Dad gets poorly I have to step to care for them both. Thank you again for your kindness. I am now back and on track . Hugs Elaine
Wow I love this card I love the muted pastel colours and that Hedgehog is so sweet but that snail is adorable.
Great work Jules Hugs Elaine

I hope you're having a wonderful family evening!

Hi Jules (you might gather that i'm looking at some of your recent posts - backwards (i've never been one to do things straightforward - no pun intended)!!!
What a gorgeous card and cute cute little stamp - so so lovely.
Wow, what a treat to have your boys round for a little quality family time. Being the Mum of two boys myself, can fully appreciate how precious this must be.
Big hugs
