FREEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey!

Gotta say that it's been a pretty super day today: my dad has finally been discharged from hospital! Yup, got to take him home today without having to think about taking him back! We're so happy about the news; eternally grateful for the care he's received and although we know it's still a long journey until he fully recovers, at least this is a step in the right direction :)

Wanna know something else pretty cool?! My inky supplies have busted their way outta prison their boxes! Hooray! We've got the Easter Holidays approaching next week so it's gonna be two weeks of some serious inking for me!

But enough babbling about super news, I'm guessing you're here to see a project, right?

Gift of Thanks

Thanks to the fellow crafty peeps for pointing out that these qualify for the fabulous Gift Wrap Challenge over on Moxie Fab World! (There's still time for yourself to enter too as it ends on April 21st)

These tags form part of a thank you gift for two super inky friends of mine and also fit nicely for our challenge on our PTI blog (Yes, I know I'm a week late sharing it here on the blog, nevertheless there's still a week left to enter!) We want you to be inspired by spring (even though it actually feels like summer at the moment!) and get inky! I'll 'fess up that I made these tags as a thank you a little while before we moved, so just imagine those flowers as daffodils and we're OK! *wink*

I also went ahead and created a li'l card to go with each thank you:

Thanks

So why not let spring take your mojo on an adventure and join in the fun? Your project needs only one PTI product on it to qualify!

Rights then, I'm now off to dare and venture through my Google Reader. With 1000+ posts to catch up on it could be an all-nighter but at least I'll have had a good dose of inspiration for my mojo. :D

Thank you so, so, much for stopping by - promise to catch up with y'all very soon!

Catch ya later!
