I started Alice Palace greetings cards in June 2004 - so the cards have now been going for 4 years. And many of the original designs are still selling strong… such as ‘A tortoise takes life very slowly’ which is a great card for retirement!
I had yesterday afternoon off (as it was my birthday!) and went along to Spetchley Gardens near Worcester with Mum and Lizzy. It chucked it down when we arrived, so we sat in my very clean hire car in the car park and ate a picnic. Then when the rain stopped we went round the gardens which are BEAUTIFUL…and I wish they were mine. The best bit for me was the vegetable gardens - - I will get an allotment!!
yey for me and a hip hip happy birthday! Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear alice, happy birthday to me!

Me and Mark went to Bristol on Tuesday evening to go to the preview of the Amazing Archive Exhibition. I did the design work for the wall hangings and the logo, and it worked really well.
I went for a ride on Albert with Jemima yesterday afternoon, and then went to meet Kelly and Allie for a drink in Cheltenham. This naughty dog was on the wall!
I ate so many sweet things on Saturday afternoon that I felt very sick! The cream tea afternoon at Ellen’s was really good fun - it was great seeing everyone get their finished book club books - apart from me and Ellen - Roz forgot Ellens, and mine has been temporarily lost!! We hope to be re-united sometime in the near future…

‘Hi Alice,
I just wanted to let you know that my invites went out on Saturday and I’ve been so overwhelmed by compliments about them!! Everyone absolutely loved them and thought they were really unusual! They Couldn’t believe we’d sorted it all over email!! Thank you so much I’m so so delighted with how they turned out!’ (Victoria).
It’s the book club cream tea ending on Saturday - and I have to finish the last book for then.
Here are a few of my favourite pages from the final book:
