    impressed with the designs.
    So sorry about the bungalow - know the feeling - looking for one ourselves, probably in the same area and no it wasn't us!

    Oh goodness! You are a beautiful lady! Love those glasses! AND your use of the 3D exotics! I have a feeling you are going to inspire me greatly! I'm so anxious to try these, but I must finish a couple of works in progress first (otherwise I might never get them done). Finding your blog was such a happy discovery for me!

    I have just found you & I feel like I'm a child again in my favourite confectionery shop where my mother would always buy me fairy lollies.(Darrell Lees. They still have them.) I need encouragement at the moment & I see you are maturing & have wonderful white hair. So do I.I also have just acquired purple reading glasses. As Bill Connelly says "When you get your winter plumage, You need a little colour". Personally I think there should be a lot of colour, no matter what your age. You encourage me. Thank you. Peta
