Sad (for me) news, and A Happy Day

Sadly I have decided to resign from Passion for Promarkers, for various reasons. I'm very very sad about it as it has been such a huge part of my life, but I have a string of other things in my life that have been badly neglected and really need more committment from me.

But.... I had a very special visitor today, the absolutely gorgeous Sarah Horne (my ex Teamie at PfP). So we had a good catch up, and sat in the garden enjoying the sunshine - yup, it does come out here now and again lol

Just in case you're reading this Sarah - my parcel arrived about 10 minutes after I got back home from dropping you off haha, and I hope you have a great time out at Simply Create

Passion for Promarkers #54 - Books

Morning folks - wow what a busy week!! We're so chuffed that so many of you entered our anniversary celebration challenge last week, and we've had a ball going round and seeing all the entries. I'm really excited to see who wins each of the prizes too .

So this is our first week with the new Design Team on their own - as you may already know, the bosses, Gina and Denise are staying on, and so are Michele and myself - so you'll have to put up with us a bit longer lol

Andie has picked this weeks theme of "Books" which can be interpreted in a number of ways, I've chosen to use a book as an embellishment. You can use any colours, but do remember to use your promarkers. 

Up for grabs this week we have £10 voucher for

Remember to pop on over to Passion for Promarkers to see the new Design Team's samples, and enter our challenge.
