The lovely Bowie Style has given me a wonderful mention on her fabulous blog,Print and Pattern.She is very complimentary about my M and S work on their Easter confectionary.
Read her lovely comments here.
Good god,I m even on the chocolate lollies.
Spring sprung on January 2nd -that s when this lot was spotted first !!Now i just need to go and lie down.I ve blogged about 4 times in a week.It takes it out of you you know.

Ha!

Oh yes my friends.I made it into the fabulous Print and Pattern 2 book by Bowie Style (aka as Marie Perkins).It s lovely and well worth a look.A couple of double page spreads - i m a lucky girl.
