Hot off the Press

Okay I probably need help, but I couldn't resist this -



The print's rather small so you might have to click on the image (don't bother it's not worth it) and it's here if you've not got anything better to do.

Now I really must get on with it.

Love it!!

Michelle said...

Brilliant Karen!!
Meant to ask you as an aside..do you have magic machines at your library to retuen books? At Bodmin we have a machine with a large slot where you put all your books in, it scans them all at once, then gives you a return date. My kids think they are magic cupboards!!
