'Warm Heart!'

Well what a pants weekend we have had, Katie has been off school since last Tuesday & hopefully she will be back tomorrow. This flu bug has really knocked her off her feet, but then she decided to share her bugs with her Dad. He started with it on Friday, came home from work really poorly & spent Saturday & Sunday on the sofa!! He has gone to work today just hope he is OK!

Anyhoos onto today's creation, I thought I had made our Katie's Christmas card but realised I hadn't oops!

So I spent awhile on Saturday colouring & finished making it while listening to Deano on Create & Craft yesterday. Our Katie just loves penguins, so I thought this image was perfect!

Sorry about the pants fotos, its so dull & 'orrible here!
