Yyy. I love the countdown! Know of quite a few more which have been posted too!

Looks like it! School hols though, and I think now majority of crafters not on here. Very happy to carry on though plus this is the only place where all the photos are in order and easily accessible.

Quick question - is it too late to send old pound coins? I found 9 when clearing out my dad's stuff.
