rob ryan - amazing detail

moo - mini cards

I must admit I'm a bit of a fan of moo cards, especially their mini cards which they have just launched some brand new features for.

The updates include new layouts, fonts & colours for the back of your cards. A full image upload for the back of your cards. A new and improved preview, bulk discounts and even cute new recyclable paper boxes.

iBride - Beautiful

My current favourite card is....

Birdcage by The Hummingbird Card Company, available online at www.purplegreetingscards.co.uk (HB015HD) £2.95

Framed Tea Towel

This great framed tea towel was the idea of blogger Her Little Place

iPhone UltraClear Case

... excellent, after much searching I have finally found the case I had in mind for myiPhone 3GS.

The UltraClear from www.ultra-case.com is protective but subtle - and still keeps my beautiful iPhone fully visable.

Oh...and this brand new Mirror Screen Protector is quite clever and useful too. It is a mirror effect at standby mode & transparent when the iPhone is active.

myPANTONE app

Just love the new myPANTONE app available from the iTunes Store!

You can watch the myPANTONE app on YouTube

The Lotus Flower

After reading this post by Mark Griffiths at The Guardian gardening blog it has inspired me to plant my much cherished lotus flower seeds... well perhaps one of them to begin with, to see what happens!
