They offering £10.00 to spend in store to one random winner.

Our second sponsor for this month is Petal Lu, here is a bit about her:

Hello, my name is Lucinda Lucker and I am the owner of Petal Lu, I am a wife to John and mum to Sebastian, Josephine and Benjamin and together we run our village Pub/Resturant, in Bristol.

I have crafted since I was a child, mainly sewing, tapestry and knitting. I started paper crafting 7 years ago and my flowers hit the market mid 2012 since then they have gone from strength to strength, releasing new colours and constantly working on new designs.
All the flowers you see, are hand made by myself and I love every minute of making them. 

and Lucinda is offering this package of luscious flowers

The theme for this month is Spring or Pastel

Challenge Number 7

Our challenge for this month is sponsored by  Mulberry Crafts who are offering
A Large bag of Goodies.

MulberryCraftsUK online shop is a Home-Based business jointly run by Bev and Fun. We are both juggling between caring for our families and running this business from home. All despatch is handled by Bev and Fun manages the stock and listing.

At the moment we are focussing on providing miniature flowers made from genuine mulberry paper for crafts use - although we have a small selection of non -paper crafts too. Why mulberry paper? Because they are robust, realistic looking and last longer than ordinary paper and it provides a sustainable income for people in the cottage industry. In due course we will be introducing more of  other craft materials which is not related to mulberry paper.

The theme this month is ...Flowers
