Days 5 & 7 - the Gold Rush Era Stamp Series It seems so long ago now since we were celebrating Christmas and New Year.... hope you enjoyed a great festive season. I took some time out, not doing much at all but I did set myself a little challenge of doing some tidying up which meant spending a little time each day using scraps of fabric and paper to create something a little playful or as the mood took, useful!

Here are my tags for the Numbers challenge. The first is a collage of the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, standing on a podium with a random set of numbers . The second features a lovely set of stamps from New Zealand , again with the three numbers prominently displayed , complemented by a cut out from an old greeting card. Thanks, Sandie from tag Tuesday - a different and challenging theme.
