Well a remake was in order for this week's classes using the Pretty Petals papers (which - did I tell you - are on Bonus Deals this week - just over £5 for 48 sheets!! Nice papers... Nice price!!)
And it went down very well.... apart from me not saying LIFT loud enough!!! Oops...but we got there in the end....
