Oh my goodness! I really can't believe that it's been so many MONTHS since I last posted!!!!
I'm so sorry that I haven't been around to visit you all, or replied to your emails.
I always seem to be apologising for not keeping up with you all, when you are all so very sweet to still drop by to leave me messages, and I really hope that you will all forgive me!
The reason that I have been so busy is because we decided to make quite a big decision to quit living in London, and move 150 miles away!
We have been spending a LOT of time commuting between both places while I still stayed on at my job, but are now ready to make the move permanently. ( So I hope that you can understand why I had no time to create or visit your blogs!)
Now I'm going to have to apologise to you all AGAIN!!! as Our Internet will soon be disconnected here, so I will have very limited access to visit you and may also disappear again until we have it connected again at our new home. ( where I finally have a crafting room all of my very own!!!! Ahhhhh! pure bliss!!!!!!!
So please bear with me, I fully intend to return to blogging and catch up with all your gorgeous creations again!
And Ta da! I DO actually have a card to share with you! ( which I made in October!!) I made this card for my Auntie Sandra's 60th Birthday! and I thought that this Sarah Kay image would be perfect, as she loves anything in an "old fashioned" style. I created the message using my computer, and the beautiful felt flowers were sent to me in the lovely RAK shown in the post below from Risa. (thank you! I love them!)
Thank you all so much again for your friendship, I'll catch up with you all again once we are settled into our new home! Love Nicola xx

It's been a long while! but I am finally back! THANK YOU so much to everyone who was kind enough to leave me a message in my absence, it means such a lot to me!

Your kindness is much appreciated and I look forward to catching up with you again soon!

BLOGGING BREAK
Most of you have probably noticed that for the past few months I've been pretty slack in my blogging, and even slacker at returning your lovely comments.
I'm just not finding enough time these days to create, or get on the computer, so I've decided to have a blogging break and come back when I have more time to commit to regular postings, and more time to visit you all and show you the kind of support that you have shown me.
I definitely WILL be back! I just don't know when yet. If by any chance you would be interested in finding out when I am back, you can fill in the Feedblitz section on my sidebar, then you should be sent an email when I start up again.
and just for the record, I'm perfectly well and everything is absolutely fine, life is just kinda busy right now! Thank you sooooooo much for being such great blogging buddies! I've had great fun meeting you all, and I really hope to be back soon! xx

FLOWERS AND BUTTONS
Today's flowers and buttons card was inspired by this beautiful card by Lauren. Lauren probably doesn't realise how much of a HUGE fan I am of hers! I just love her style and think that her cards are always stunning!

CHERISH ALWAYS
I stamped the pink swirl using a Paper Artsy stamp, and then rubbed a rub on sentiment over the top of it.

AWARDS
I have been given a couple of different awards this week by Paylin, Valerie, Jenny and Shelly. ( Thank you ladies! ) I don't always post my awards, even though I am very grateful to receive them, as I really HATE having to chose who I am going to pass them on to!
I think that you are all fantastic, and would hate to miss anyone out!
Instead I would like to invite you all to check out my favourite blogs which you can find in my sidebar, there's lots of inspiration to be found and I am still updating it daily!
and on this occasion I am going to point you in the direction of one of my favourite bloggers and give Shashi a special mention. Shashi is a VERY talented doll maker, her creations are exceptionally beautiful, I find it thrilling to visit her blog and see her magical creations! and I'm sure that you will too!

LOVE WHAT YOU DO..........
These adorable SU heart images were also in the RAK that Pascale sent to me! I have also used some more paper from my Junkitz Salsa pad, and the sentiment and swirl in the corner are rub ons.
