About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.

More Mixed Media - anything mixed media with optional red

I have been busy trying to make all my design team cards for February and schedule them on my blog.   I am having eye surgery for glaucoma on Friday 7 February and Friday 21 February.  I don't know how long I will have to stay off the computer after each operation.  I spoke to the nurse on Monday and she said they would be able to tell me when I go back for the post operation check up on Monday.  (it is now Wednesday at 6.30 pm here in Sydney)

Please pray for me that the surgery will go well and I will be able to see better.   Thank you.
I added all the above as an update after this blog post was posted)

and now to today's post

Hi, Margaret! Saw this on MMM challenge and I'm not naturally a fan of all-digi so when I see you make something non, I love it! This is such a pretty card, organic and simple in its beauty. Very cool, XOX
