Hippo's

Good morning, I hope you are all staying safe out there & enjoying some you time. I'm in isolation now until at least the end of June. Our youngest is due with her first baby on the 16th June & her immune system is bad, so as I work with the public I'm to stay at home. Thank fully hubby being a wagon driver, can go back to work sooner (if that happens) yay....driving me mad already lol!!

Anyhoos, I'm here to share my latest creation for 'Simply Create Too' where for the next month the theme is......

ANYTHING BUT A CARD

so after much debating & thinking I decided to make a jigsaw with a box.
