We're back on track!!!

MAJOR apologies for being missing for soooooo long, but that naughty piggy hit us with a vengeance and we're still getting over it!

You've all been very patient and I thank you VERY much for that.

I'm currently making up sketches from past challenges for even more inspiration. These will be up soon.

Our next challenge will be posted on 1 August.

Once again THANK YOU all VERY MUCH for your patience!!!

Taking part in the pandemic

You may have noticed that Word Pictures has been put on hold this month. This is due to the fact that illness has hit my family with a vengeance over the last few weeks, topping it all off with the good ol' swine flu - and it's not pretty!

Please be patient with us....we'll be back, fit and healthy, with a new challenge on 1st July.

Hope you and yours are all well. xSami

Lots of layouts to share...

I have a feeling we're going to have a big month....look at these lovelies!!!
