Quintiles - April

Well, my last lot of Quintiles went missing, ggrrrr Royal Mail.


What was really annoying though, was that I had my April ones in the same envelope and two lots of large stamps. It was too late to submit another lot for March (and I missed out on receiving a set back), but I have done a second lot of April.

The theme for April was "April Fool". We have to use Chocolate Baroque stamps so it was a bit of a challenge to say the least.

I was looking through an old Gardening Catalogue, from 1934, and  thought the names of some of the plants were really interesting and wondered if there was a plant named April Fool - and there was! It was a snowdrop and Chocolate Baroque recently bought out a lovely set of spring stamps so I was OK!
So I have redone my tile and in my haste posted it without taking a picture, so this is the original one which is similar!

Looking forward to receiving my swap (fingers crossed)
