Less Is More is 3... Plus January Candy Winners!!!

Wow can you believe that Less Is More is 3 years old today.. where has that gone... I def cannot remember a Saturday morning without it.  We have loads of fabulous guest designers this week for our colour challenge which is.... Rainbow!!!


I did make card a couple of weeks ago though to be honest and I'm really not feeling the mojo much still but I'm hoping a bit of craft room tidying (it's a mess) will help this weekend.  Here is my little card....


The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted's Jan release and the little banner punch part of the Sale-a-bration from Stampin Up (Lizy let me use it lol)....

Now for the fun stuff ... My blog candy winners..... I was so overwhelmed with the response and the number of new followers in the last month, esp since I haven't been around much you all touched my heart.  I cannot believe I now have nearly 550 followers!!

Onto the winners....


The winner of this fabulous prize is......
#163 Rachel 


And the Winner of the LOTV voucher is......

#10 Sarah

If you both email from the sidebar I will arrange to get your prizes out to you!!!

Morning...  Just posting a quick reminder on my January Candy and thought I would show you a little card I made for a commission whilst I was at it!!


I also wanted to thank you for all your kind comments and emails this last week... It was difficult to share what is going on in my life but I wanted you all to know why I may not be around much.  I tried a little crafting last night but still struggling...

Hey, How Are You?

Hey Strangers... I thought I would say hello today and explain a little about what is going on at the moment... I don't normally put things like this on here but here goes....

Last year I my life got turned upside down when my partner decided to want to be with his family more... In January my heart finally broke and after 4 years of ups and downs he has moved back permanently and I'm not really dealing with it at all... Devastated would be the best word I could use. My mojo has run away and I really don't feel like doing anything at all .... I'm taking a break from crafting for a few weeks but may pop around if I can manage to make a little something to show you. Crafting was always my saviour and has got me through a few things over the years so I'm not sure why this is different but sitting in my studio just seems to hurt so much... maybe it's because I'm in on my own I'm really not sure. I'm hoping the start of February feels like a new start for me and I can start to rebuild my life slowly.

To top it all off I'm not sleeping and have lost about 12 lbs in 3 weeks ( I was less than 10 stone at 5'10) so now having blood tests to check nothing else is wrong as a precaution :-(

I do have a little card to show you today as my mum came over Sunday afternoon so I could show her how to watercolour so I managed (and it took about 2 hours) to pull the card below together.... It's so simple but it seemed like hard work and wasn't natural at all.  I just hope that all comes back.. and very soon!


I've used the very cute James with Laptop from LOTV and coloured with my Stampin write markers. The sentiment is from Waltzing Mouse but just seemed so appropriate for this little guy...esp in this digital world lol!

There are still a couple of days left to enter my January Candy HERE and don't forget my up to date FOR SALE page.

Finally can I say thank you to all my blog and crafty friends worldwide for everything the last couple of weeks.. you know who you all are!
