I always find it interesting when I have finished a book to look back at my very first thoughts. Some spreads end up almost identical to my first thumbs where others go through many changes. It took me a while with Goodnight Star to get Megan right. I had a lightbulb moment when I decided to put her in pyjamas rather than a floaty nightdress. Suddenly I felt she had the right attitude.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Two favourite things! Vintage Ladybird Books and the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill! Bexhill is just along the coast so we popped over last weekend to see the new <a href="http://www.dlwp.com/event/ladybird-by-design" target="_blank">Ladybird exhibition</a>. It is well worth a visit. There is a great selection of original artwork. It's free too!!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">My Christmas card this year has been a real family effort. I roped in my other half to paint the tree as mine was far too uptight and my children helped with the stickers!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;">Ta dah!</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">The design was a continuation on the theme from last year. I was thinking back to my school days when I had great fun making Christmassy things. For <a href="http://stringstudio.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/christmas%20card" target="_blank">last years card</a> it was paper snowflakes. This year I wanted to produce a design that could incorporate stickers so I went for a simple Christmas tree design. I sent the cards to my clients (as they are such creative folk!) with an empty tree and enclosed an envelope with a selection of stickers so they could decorate it themselves.</span><br />
