Happy New Year...2018

Hi Folks, I would like to wish each and every one of you a 

very 

and 

hope it's a Healthy and Prosperous one for you!!

Talking of health, unfortunately I've had that terrible 'flu' bug that's been going around the past few weeks and been laid low with it, just finished my third dose of antibiotics, still not completely better, but hopefully on the mend! I'm so glad 2017 is now in the past, so here's to a much better year with loads of crafting!!!

Hugs Donna
