Well what a pants few days I have had health wise. We had a fabulous day at Rhyl airshow, only for me to forget to take my pain meds before we went. So I was in agony by the time we got home. I kinda fell into bed & stayed there or on the sofa for the next two days. managed to get myself moving yesterday. But my damn back, I still can't stand up straight!
Anyhoos, I won't be doing that again lol
I'm here to share with you my latest creation for the Sweet Pea Progressive challenge on FB. Can't wait to see what this months free image is...
I decided to give this card to our Danni, for when she starts back at college next week. She passed her three A levels so decided to stay on an extra year & squeeze 5 A levels into one year!!! She's mad lol
