Quixotic Challenges Blog Candy With A Difference

Good afternoon,

I just wanted to let you all know about this blog candy with a difference. Quixotic Challenges are asking us to show our favourite creation of 2009 in order to be entered into their mystery blog candy with a value of £40.00 but you need to hurry it finishes tonight at midnight GMT.

And here is my favourite, it was a folder card I made for a little girl who had just started to craft.

I hope not too many of you are affected by this weather, we are fine at the moment we have only had a scattering of snow.
