This week, as well as our Guest Designer Lorraine, we are also joined by Kimmie, Tara and Andrea from Kraftin Kimmie.

And we have a bit of an annoucement girlies cos from next week, Lorraine has agreed to join us full time - well we couldn't let her go could we cos her work is just gorge - and we are so pleased to have her on board.

We are also going to be choosing our future guest designers every month from our challenge entrants, as it seems only fair that the girls who participate in our challenges should have a chance to join us.
