Birthday and Rhinomania

Yesterday (2nd) was my Birthday and I had lots of lovely cards and presents and sooo many birthday wishes on facebook and twitter, I feel I have extended family and friends all around the world, I am truly blessed :)
Waynes pressie was a Chamilia bracelet and a few charms, which I have wanted for a while, I can now add charms to it. Of course the colour scheme I have chosen is purples!
To celebrate I am offering 20% OFF EVRYTHING IN MY SHOP for the next week!!

We have just been away over to England to Nottingham to visit family and friends, and whilst we were their, we took a fast train to London for the day, and went to see the Lion King, which was amazing! we did lots of shopping too.
We then went to Chester for a few days, which is where our eldest Son is at Uni. There is a display of Rhinos all over Chester,called Rhinomania! and Nathan, our Son, was lucky enough to be one of the artists involved.

Please watch this!

Ever thought that making art was silly or not worth your time?
Someone shared this amazing video on Facebook, and it really is amazing. It spoke right to my soul, take a few minutes to watch :)
You are worth the time
