A day for romance

And just in time for Valentine's Day,  my tags for the tag-a-long are complete - ta-da!

The drawing came from a vintage Whitman colouring book, published in 1949. I adapted it though, the original drawing had the little girl and boy holding hands (how evil of me to separate them).

In keeping with the romantic theme of the day, I completed these tags whilst catching up on the first two episodes of a BBC period drama called The Paradise - which just started showing on Australian TV. I am hooked, but then again I am a hopeless period drama addict. It's about Britain's first department store in the Victorian era - full of beautiful dresses, frilly stuff and luxury goods to appeal to the ladies. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. Nobody does period drama quite as well as BBC does.



In other news I submitted my gingerbread house tutorial to craftgossip.com and it got published! And the next day a tutorial I guest-wrote for another blog also got published (links to both are on my Facebook page if you are curious). To say I am chuffed is an understatement. And the best part (other than the massive jump in traffic and loads of lovely people discovering my blog ofcourse) some of you have left me comments! Actual comments, in the posts. Thank you! Now I feel a bit less like I am just talking to myself here. :)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
