Hello

Good afternoon everyone

Well it's nice to be back

I had nearly forgot how to do this....lol

Since we came back from holiday I have struggled to get back to making cards,.

The weather has been good and there seems to have been lots of other things to do.

We didn't really make up our minds where we were going until the day before we went away,

we both love the North Yorkshire moors so that is where we went.

It was lovely here are a couple of photos I took while up there.

I hope to be getting back to normal this week....lol fingers crossed.

Have your all having a lovely weekend.

See you soon

Won't be blogging for a week or so DH on 10 days off from tommorow

so have decided to nip off to the seaside for a while.

Be back soon.

Take care.
