This makes me smile....

.. .because frankly, if it didn't make me smile it would make me cry! It would be lovely to have a clean, tidy home with everything in its place and lots of  elegant empty space. But when you love crafting, there are paper scraps, ribbon and glitter everywhere,  nothing is ever thrown away in case it comes in useful and simplifying things simply isn't possible. (I'm saying nothing about my addictions to kitchen gadgets, spices and books....)

So every time I see this message, it makes me smile! I think the embossed "knitting" background gives a subtle hint  that it's craft stull I'm referring to!

The stamp I used for the message is an ancient one, bought from the US company Raindrops on Roses in the days when buying stamps meant getting hold of a catalogue printed on real paper, working out a way of paying in a foreign country then ordering by post. Most of you are probably too young to remember that!


I'm playing along with:

    What a fab stamp Jane and I totally agree with that sentiment and yours. Love the embossing folder you paired it with, makes for a great card.

    Jane that sentiment is so apt, if only I could really stick to Less is More...
