New Beginnings


Woohoo...Monday again!! I hope this week has good things in store for you, I am  having the week before Easter off, so am very much looking forward to that.

Anyway, for now, let me encourage you to join in with the new challenge at


where the theme is NEW BEGINNINGS.


My creation was made using an image from our sponsor Bugaboo. The happy little family were coloured with Promarkers to coordinate with the sweet patterned paper that I found in my scrap box.
The Wild Orchid flowers made a perfect finishing touch.


I have new beginnings of my own. Yes, another "Add to Basket" episode!!

This is Wills who has joined the Wills family!! With a name like that we "had" to have him!! With my lovely Surprise enjoying her retirement, I found that I was missing our rides, so tentatively put a "wanted" ad on Facebook. Following a visit to the New Forest to meet and try this chap, I took the plunge and bought him. He has settled in really well and is proving to be a very kind and safe chap, which is very important in my advancing years!! I hope to enjoy 20+ years with him like I have with Surprise.




I look forward to seeing your own New Beginnings card.

See you soon xx

Morning Sarah, love your card....the image is so sweet & the sentiment just beautiful. As for Wills, what a handsome chap he is.....although I have to be honest & say I'm terrified of horses!
