it all started with orange, paper, scissors and glue

I never ever thought I would create my own blog!

I guess I can thank Jessica Jones @ How About Orange and Stacey Al Mehairbi @ Paper, scissors........glue for the inspiration.

And so inspired, I've decided to share some of the things I've stumbled upon lately... let me know what you think.

Hopefully there's something here for you :)
