2015

Its been quite a year to date one way or another.  In some ways too much has happened.  Trip to NZ, goodbye to Dad - never expected this - flare ups just to name a couple of things so there has not been much creating happening in this neck of the woods.  Here's a few things hopefully I'll get back into it shortly.

Two different envelope cards.

 Canvas ordered for a birthday present.

Birthday card for a 2nd birthday party for a smart pup friends dog.

My side & the surprise flowers Mum did for me we did the tie together was a nice useful item that I love :)
