Many of you may already know that I adore Tiger.  I love it for its craft supplies, its whimsical goodies (especially the dinosaurs in clay, my dad and I have lots of fun excavating them) and its stamps.  I have an ink stamp obsession.  I can’t explain it but I’ve always loved them.  Last summer […]

Do Something Sunday : Newgrange

In the name of research for my Do Something  Sunday I headed off to Newgrange this week.  Although I went to the visitor centre and monument, I headed to the farm first.  It is important to note that the farm isn’t actually included in the tour or price but it is well worth a visit. […]
