A LITTLE BUNDLE MAYBE...BUT THIS IS AMAZING..

 Hello everyone..

Just wanted to share an another wonderful gift I received this week in the mail..

My blogland friends are amazing you know, and this sort of blew my mind..

My little Aussie mate aNNie asked me have I ever used Spectrum Noirs, and if not, would I like some to try them out as she did not use them..I could have all she had..

So I of course said thank you, and yes, I would love to try them...


So we sat and waited for the parcel to arrive...



And BOY, did they arrive..




Good grief..she sent me heaps of them and a couple of dies and a beautiful card..
I am dumbfounded..


Well, of course I sat up that night colouring for hours, my thumb ache from holding the pens, and my wrist ached too, but I kept going and I just love them,they are so juicy..


And thanks to Claire [MRS.H. ] I'm learning to blend the colours..she has tutorials on her blog.


So thank you again aNNie, I appreciate it all so much..there is so much kindness and friendships in blogland, it just makes your head spin sometimes..

Take care and stay safe everyone..

Luv CHRISSYxx

awww bless your little cotton socks my BFF, enjoy and keep on making awesome crafts. When you said you didn't colour much anymore, I immediately thought of you with the markers and boy from what I see you know how to blend already.... I adore how you took a photo of 'Holly' and included it in the waiting...she looks so cute....enjoy. ♥
