Hi Everyone
Happy Sunday!
A special day today because there is a great blog hop happening organised by the lovely Darnell as a thank you to our fantastic friend and playground boss .. .. Miss Di.
Some of you may remember I paid homage a couple of weeks ago when I explained how Di had made the brave decision to take over the Snippets Playground from me seven years ago .. .. and boy oh boy what a fantastic job she has made of it.
The most fabulous, generous and friendly person you will ever have the pleasure to meet and someone who deserves to know just how honoured we all feel to have her in our lives. (I did write blogging lives .. . but that just didn't look right LOL!!)
Darnell has been arranging a blog hop, which went live today, for us all to post a creation by way of a thank you for Di's tireless efforts in keeping the playground mob under control.
I knew just the stamp set I was going to use .. .. a very old one from Docrafts called "Wellington" .. .. and here is the finished creation:

I am running with my little creation to Pixie's Snippets Playground as everything is a snippet apart from the card base. Even the pink bow was tied and sitting in my snippet ribbon drawer waiting to be used.
I am also linking up to Darnell's post where all the cards that have been created by Di's friends and playmates are on show.
Thank you Di for everything you have done with the challenge over the last 7 years it is a pleasure to know you .. .. .. and also thank you Darnell for organising the thank you Di blog hop. I hope everyone who knows Di gets chance to play along .. .. even if you haven't had chance to play along in the playground for a while.
No snippets from me last Sunday as Mr Heart and I were at a Wedding Fayre but more about that another day. Today is all about Di! xx

Fabulous card, Jules with a perfect sentiment. Thank you for starting off the challenge the year before Di took over. I didn't have a blog then, but I'm glad you started off what has become one of my favourite challenges in blogland. xx
