    Thank you to all the wonderful people who came to say Hello at the Spoutwood Festival in the USA. I was so thrilled to make it back again this year 

     I was so inspired by my time there and the enchanted magic of the place, that I created this image to celebrate the coming of Spring!

    Just want to apologise to anyone I miss or dont get back to!!  so far my messages keep getting eaten!! though I think one or two may have made it through....I promise to try to get everyone as soon as I am able...I have to count my blessings, at the moment I am very very busy

    (I am sooo Lucky)!!

    I just had to sign on to this site though, My friends set it up and I thnk its a wonderful idea, full of majikal people!!! so beautiful!!!

    I am finding the technology a bit tough!! I should have been born 100 years ago!! thank goodness I have a 13 year old daughter who can help me (in between her busy social life)!!

    Please dont forget that if you are visiting faerie con in October please look me up, I should be with Faerie Magazine and Llewellyn publishing, though not both at the same time - :-) lol
