I was very excited to receive some business cards today from moo.com I chose a variety of designs as I want to use them at BlogCamp, Cybermummy and with the swaps I participate in. We’re big moo fans and we used them for our wedding invites, place cards, cake stickers and thank you cards. The…
Opposites attract
We’re currently on holiday so I have been lucky to have several new charity shops to browse. Last week we were in Teignmouth where I found this beauty: a vintage Tonka truck. I was strangely excited when I saw this as it wasn’t plastic but metal. There’s a little bit of rust but nothing that…
