So glad your here!!

 Now if you have come from Anda's blog your on the right track,

promarkers and twin touch markers. The papers I got in my tumbler buddy in the last swap that
we do on the facebook fan page..
All the girls on there are such a hoot and loaded with sooooo much talent, it's unreal.
I'm a bit of a lurker on there if I'm honest but I do love them all...

the lovely Louise.
