'Sympathy'

IT's the weekend, yay. So glad its here, this week seems to have dragged a lot!
No idea why, just seems to have gone slowly. Maybe its because I haven't been bloggin as much as I normally do. I have been crafting tho, making DT stuff & sorting DT stuff. So I have been busy, oh & I've been playing on the Wii & X-box with the girlies! So loving them being off school xx

Anyhoos it's time for a new challenge over at My Time To Craft! Our theme for the next two weeks is

Perfect card for a sympathy one Shell. Its the kind of card you never make then have to rush when you need one so its a good idea to have one or two standing by just in case. Susan x
