This is my second post for today, my DT card for Crafty Emma's Store is below so please scroll down xxx

If your wondering who the grumpy bear is, well its me.....We decided (ok I decided & was told by Nige not to!!) to go out for a walk in the snow. Brrrrr it was blinkin cold, well we had a fab time throwing snowballs, Katiekat got one right down my neck, little monkey!! It was on the way home, I slipped on the ice :0( didn't fall (thankfully) but kinda twisted my bad knee...so in agony now! So I decided to occupy myself as they are all playing on the Kinect thingy on the eggbox (lol Vicky!!) & make a card for the Fairymoon Crafts Challenge!

Oh onky just realised that my distressing is darker on one side of my doilie thing than the other !!

I just love this image, she is just so pretty & reminds me of our Katie with all her hair (that she still hasn't had cut lolol)

We must have walked for about 3 miles looking for them & I will admit, we had fun skipping (well hobbling in my case) & scaring Katie!! She's got a thing about snakes & the last time we were out there we saw an adder....so this time Nige got a stick & put it over his foot & started screaming...Katie proper freaked out it was soooooooooo funny!! The other thing that Nige did to scare the girls was....as they were walking under a tree he shook it so all the rain fell off..lolololol even me poor dawgy didn't like that one!! I am sufferin today tho, so not doing anything today other than maybe a bit of crafty
