I’ve finally listed a couple of new children’s birthday party invitations: a spooky theme and a teddy bear tea party. The spooky one was designed for my son’s first birthday party and the other for his friend’s but they’re both now on Folksy. spooky birthday invitation sdfafd teddy bear tea party
I’ve been doing Folksy Friday for a while now and I really like Folksy and what it is growing into. I’ve also started getting involved with UK Handmade which is very exciting and very inspiring.

I realised the other day that for the most part all the wrapping paper and cards I’ve been buying over the past year have come from the same company, eventhough I’ve bought them all over the place.
