Graduation Card

Hi all a grad card I designed on the pazzles also adding the name as the scroll

Not much crafting

Hi all I have been visiting My Grandsons down south to help out as one was in hospital and the other was going in to have his adnoids removed.
I spent Four days in Darlington Memorial hospital playroom with Harry building lego, painting, glueing and watching the BFG. Harry is fine now and so is Aedan whom I brought back up to Scotland with me for a quiet recouperation away from noisy little brothers and to spend time with his two grannies.

No excuses
