Happy Thoughts

Helloooo, well it's Friday again and that means a new Challenge over at

This week it's Anything But A Card. There will be a prize at the end of the challenge but for this one it's a Surprise!

I had seen some jars/tins over the internet designed to add your thoughts to them so that at the end of the year you could look through them and remember some of the good things from the year. So...I took an old Kenco Millicano tin and gave it a makeover. I haven't added any thoughts to it yet....my sister did tell me that as I'm usually so miserable it wouldn't be very full at the end of the year but she was joking......she was joking right?!!

Anyway hope you'll come on over and join us as we all love to see the things you make!
