I only posted a short while ago about how Jeanette has been so inspirational to me. Well lo and behold she's just announced that she's to be a guest designer!! Woo hoo!
Jeanette will be on the at Cupcakes Craft Challenges blog next Monday (16th February I think) so pop over and take a look. This is well deserved and I along with her many other 'fans' are chuffed to bits!
I'm sure Jeanette won't mind me adding a teeny bit of blog candy news to this post especially as Jeanette's just had a fab blog candy delight on offer herself!
Elusive Images are to release two new plates which are stunning as usual and butterfly inspired. Glenda Waterworth is offering the chance to win a plate so check out the blog and see what you need to do (it involves somersaults and cartwheels by the way so best not bother....!).
OK, it doesn't, I just think the less entries received the more chance that I will win!! Worth a try!

An eclectic mish-mash of thoughts, happenings, hopes, dreams and no doubt tears too!! Cats, bunnies, flowers and nature in general will intermingle with a variety of crafts and just beautiful things!
Just a thought...

About Me
- curlywhiskersandtwitchingnoses
- Central to my life are my cats Tom and Basil and house rabbits Jacob and Humphrey. I also play a large part in the lives of two other 'sort of stray' cats-Ernie and Bobbi. I enjoy crafting. I particularly love rubber stamps and cardmaking, and I also do scrapbooking and other crafty things that take my fancy! I can't do as much as I'd like due to my poor health but it's nice to have a hobby nonetheless and to be part of the crafting community! My main love remains animals and all creatures and I do all I can to ensure the lives of those who share this world with us are free from fear, pain and misery. I have been a vegetarian for many years and ensure that I do not buy any toiletries, household items etc that have been involved with animal testing or slaughtered animal ingredients.
I wish....
that wishes came true as there is so much sorrow and fear; if we had a wish each, we could wish it all away.

The beginning...25th September 2007
It may seem a little strange to begin with an end, the end of Summer but it's what we're all talking about as we search through piles of clothes to find a jumper, try to remember how to turn on the central heating and have a refresher course in how dark nights can be!
Sometimes it's nice (if a little sad) to remember those all too few warm days when butterflies danced amongst the flowers and gorged themselves on nectar. The days when puss cats lounged lazily and worshipped the sun in a way no other creature seems to! The warm, long days when bunnies raced and binkied around, leaping in several directions at once in their joy. When washing dries and smells divine and bare arms and feet are de rigour!
Looking ahead, it's easy to feel bleak. However, nursery foods, snuggly fabrics, warm socks and all too soon twinkling fairy lights will help us through the dark and cold months.
As a matter of fact I believe in fairylights all year round! They look so pretty draped round a fireplace and are especially beautiful when placed near a mirror as any light is.
'30 days has September'
Autumn is upon us.
