Glad to hear you loved our cupcake week, it was rather fun!  We visited Tonys grandaughter yesterday, it had been her first week of school and she had made us cupcakes.  They were VERY pink with LOTS and LOTS of decorations.  I gather she had tipped the tub of silver balls up so eagerly that most of them went on the floor!  They were wonderful and we throughly enjoyed them, even with all the little finger marks.

No cupcakes this week but we do have some super New England creates from Pinky and Natalie.

The cracker is quite stunning, sadly it got rather squashed in the post, but Pinky took a super photo of it for our NEW Challenge blog, this weeks theme is Anything goes - check it our here.  I can not believe it, just clicked onto the challenge to get the correct link and we have had 153 entries and the challenge only started last Thursday, you guys are all amazing - thank you.

Back to Pinky's creates - three strips of ribbon and Pinky made a bag!  Ooooh just think what little treasure this could hold for Christmas.

Arrrrrh talk about adorable, that image is so cute pinky, I love the way you have used the Happy Christmas ribbon as a message banner - wicked.

Sticking with the "cute" theme - Natalie these are so cute, gorgeous work.

Thought I would show you the close up of Natalies next card, as the other image is rather ummmm washed out - sorry.  I like the way Natalie has used two strips of polka dot ribbon close together, then put the narrow 3mm on top to cover the join - very clever.

Ummm as I said rather washed out, rather a shame, it is a delightful card Natalie.

Hope you get a little inspiration from the creates, I will be back later with the Friday FREEBIE winners.
