'Aliah!'

Morning everyone, I hope your all ok, huge hugs for those who aren't! I've had a poorly girl (katie) all week, she started last Saturday & spent all week on the sofa watching rubbish, or curled up on our bed (my craft stuff is in our bedroom) so she could be with me! Little love was really bad, she's getting there now tho thankfully, as we are off to the footie this afternoon, keep your fingers crossed it stays dry!! We are off to the Molineux to see Wolves v Blackburn....sore throat time I think lololol!!

Anyhoos its time for a new challenge over at CES & this week the theme is

CHARMED!
