News....

Just wanted to say that after a very long & hard think about my design team commitments I have decided to step down from the Digital Tuesday Challenge and also Lily-Boo's Boutique.
Life is throwing lots at me at the moment and I was struggling to keep up...I was getting a little stressed with it all so something had to give.
Huge thanks to all the ladies involved in both teams, it has been a huge pleasure to work with you all and I do feel very sad at leaving :-(
I will however continue to design for Pollycraft and also Funky Fairy Papercrafts.
