Hi Loll, I must have had a senior moment as I thought I had linked this up a couple of days ago and just came back to check that I actually did to find it not there...lol, linked now though. x
ReplyDeleteIve been struggling to comment on blogs as for some reason blogger has become incompatible with safari on my computer. I finally gave up and am using Chrome now for comments. I just tracked backwards through all your tags and just wanted to say they are all stunning, every one of them, each so individual, stunning and perfectly designed. Love them all Loll, the depth and colours wow.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad this event has ended. Thought it bean on Dec 1st. All the best to those who entered.
