Computer Trouble

Unfortunately, my very good and faithful friend Lappy the computer has breathed his last breath. I'm awaiting a newly built computer to house his memories. Sorry for the brief post and my time away. We'll be back very soon with a new year full of fun projects and experiments.

These are FIMO Air Light discs that have been stamped and coloured and coated with FIMO Deco Gel
Soooooo Pretty!

Happiest of Holiday wishes to you all.
