Well, I thought yesterday's was a bit of tougher clue but apparently not, as you were all spot on with UNICORN

This little birthday card is the reason behind my choice, it's the latest addition to my children's birthday card range.

I love making children’s birthday cards because their current favourite thing can be absolutely anything, unicorns, football, gaming, animals, dinosaurs... and quite often something I’d never have thought of myself!

This colourful unicorn design can be personalised with their name and age, making it that little bit more special when it lands on the birthday pile.

And if the birthday child in your life is currently obsessed with something I don’t already have, you can always ask. I’m more than happy to see what I can come up with.

I’d love to know, what are the children in your life obsessed with at the moment? I’m always looking for inspiration for new designs,

How is it Sunday again already?! I swear these summer weeks are disappearing far too quickly.

It’s time for our weekly guess the word challenge, and I’m hoping I’ve made this one just tricky enough to get you thinking after last week's easier one

This week’s mystery word has 7 letters and here is your clue:

A little bit horse, a little bit magic

Any ideas? Pop your guess in the comments below and all will be revealed tomorrow.

Have a lovely rest of your Sunday. What have you been up to this weekend?

Thank you all those who played along yesterday, the answer was of course HOME and I couldn't really have picked anything else this week!

After a lovely family holiday in Devon, we're home again. We've had such a lovely time, enjoyed plenty of sunshine and made some lovely memories, but there really is something nice about walking back through your own front door after being away....although ask me again once I've made my way through the holiday washing.

Home was also the perfect excuse to share this personalised home gift. Fill it with a bunch of flowers when you give it to them, then once the flowers are gone, the jug itself is something they can keep and use again and again.

Now that I'm home, I can't wait to get back into the craft room! I've got plenty waiting for me, so I think the next few days are going to be busy ones.

What's the first thing you like to do when you get home after a holiday, put the kettle on, unpack immediately, or completely ignore the suitcases for as long as possible?

Afternoon, Sunday has come round so fast this week it’s time for another guess the word.

We’re coming to the end of our holiday and, as lovely as it’s been to get away, I’m looking forward to getting in the craft room and catching up on the orders that have come in this week.

This week’s mystery word has 4 letters and here is your clue:

It’s a place, but also a feeling.

Let me know your guesses in the comments and I’ll be back tomorrow with the answer.

Hope it’s been a good week for you all and have a lovely rest of your Sunday

Good Morning and happy 1st Monday of August!

A big thank you to all who played along yesterday and well done to everyone who guessed correctly, the answer was COAST.

I thought it was the perfect word because I'm currently away in beautiful Devon, making the most of some family time by the coast. There's just something about being near the sea that helps you switch off... although if you're a small business owner, your brain never really does!

I didn't get around to sharing anything for Christmas in July this year, but it turns out a stroll along the coast has already got my creative brain working overtime. I've already found myself thinking about Christmas ideas for later in the year!

So today's reveal felt like the perfect one to share, a little seaside scene with a festive twist, because who's to say Santa doesn't spend his down time at the coast.

Are you someone who starts thinking about Christmas early, or is it strictly a no go before December?

I nearly ran out of Sunday… but it doesn’t feel right not to post a guess the word.

So, even if it’s a little later than usual, it’s still time for this week’s challenge.

This week’s mystery word has 5 letters and here is your clue:

The waves are never far away.

Pop your guesses in the comments below, and I’ll reveal the answer tomorrow.
Hope it’s been a lovely Sunday, how have you spent it?

August is just around the corner… yikes!

Before the new month arrives it’s worth taking two minutes to check your calendar.

Any birthdays?
Anniversaries?
New homes?
Weddings?
Thank you gifts?

I can’t be the only one who thinks they have ages to sort a gift and then suddenly it’s tomorrow.

I’ve put together a free gift planner to help keep track of all those special dates in one place, so you’re not scrambling at the last minute.

Whether you love to plan ahead or just need a little reminder, I hope it helps.

And if you spot an occasion coming up that you haven’t sorted yet, send me a message. I’d love to help create something personal.
