Autumn Forest Fairy Birthday card (Lacy Sunshine image)

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all about to have a wonderful weekend. We went to a big Footy Grand Final Parade in Melbourne today and it was a beautiful day. What a shame that in the back of my mind was a little niggling worry about terrorists, is everyone scared around the world? They have put us on high alert here as the police shot and killed a man this week who was planning to behead them. I wish everyone could find happiness and tolerance for all beliefs. I was determined not to let it stop me from taking the kids today though as I don't want them to intimidate us no matter how frightened we might be.

Anyway, onto a happier note here's another card I created for Autumn, this time I have used a little Autumn sweetie from Lacy Sunshine, isn't she adorable?

I have used some gorgeous items from Flourish with a Bling - Lee's tree and Taylah's Toadstools. I would love for you to check out our website, we have everything priced at $2 until the end of September. Click on our name if you want to have a look at all our products, we ship worldwide.
