Earl Of Marchmont
I've just finished off my latest Crafter To The Stars project which is a Paperdoll Necklace for Twinkie Chan. It was so much fun to make as she's got all kinds of cute accessories in her shop.

Kanpai
Today's exciting package in the mail was a Pogo Connect touch-sensitive pen for the iPad. It was a little tricky to set up, as we don't have a fancy new iPad, but it works really well and I love t...
