Lemon Zingy :)

 

Hi peeps and hope all is well.

Wow wow wow wow WOW is all I can say about last week :)

I THINK this might just be a Papertake record here …… 730 of you lovely peeps joined us and hugest of thanks to each and every one of you xxx. I must apologise if you didn't get a comment  as for some weird reason known only to itself, Mr Blogger was not playing ball and  kept chucking me out – slappity slap :( 

It sure picks it’s moments!!

Also, if anybody tried to email me,  it may not have gotten through as  my Hotmail was acting up as well.  Well that isn’t strictly true – what happened was that some kindly soul obviously with too much time on their hands decided to hack into my account and caused me a few probs. But we have sorted that one out and normal service is hopefully resumed. But if you got a spoof email from me with a link to God knows where, I can only apologise.

Why do they do it peeps?

Anyway onto far nicer things like our winner from last week, who is …

… Wendy

Well done chick and if you e-mail me I’ll pass your details on to the lovely Lisa and Laila and always, hugest of thanks to them for their wonderful sponsorship xxx

And check out  Wendy’s totally gorgeous card peeps …..

So onto this week and today is Shrove Tuesday – Pancake Day, wohhoo  !!

Why do they taste so good when they are oh so bad for you???  But it’s only once a year so fill your boots is what I say :)

So we have a bit of a lemony challenge for you and it is

Lemon Zingy

So we just want to see something lemon, yellow or bright and zingy on your cards – that’s it!!!

We are sponsored today by the very wonderful Peggy from Peggy Loves Vintage and she is almost one of our Papertake family cos she is our very own Sharon’s sister!!

We have a brand new GDT for you this week and they are Miria and Suzanne – welcome to our team chicks and we hope that you enjoy your stay with us xxx
