Oops I'm a bit late with my post today. So confused with what day is which at the moment, with Nige still being off work. Thank you for all you messages, texts & emails wishing him well...I agree hurry up & get well you're interfering with my crafty time! LOL!!
I don't mean it he's been a babe, playing on his egg-box & hasn't asked for any help over the last week. So fingers crossed he is improving....big problem is he won't just sit & rest now. At this moment as I type this he is upstairs helping Katie put up a double bed in Danni's room (its what she wanted for Christmas...just Santa's a bit late lol) I said to leave it until Danni's boyfriend got here later, but nope he wants to do it. So tomorrow he is gonna be moaning about his back again!! arghhhh bl**dy men!!!!
Anyhoos I'm here to share my Inky Inspiration creation with you today!

Decided to use Jenson (my Ecraft) to cut out the balloons. Feel really guilty, I don't use him as much as I should do! Maybees a slightly late New Year resolution...use Jenson at least once a week!!
