In the pink

Hi All sorry haven't been about much not had much time to myself just about recovered from a dose of flu just this cough to try and shift had some more bad news the other day my Sisters youngest son Michael went in for an operation on his hip operation was a success but sadly he didn't come round from the anaesthetic he was 35 .
Jacks teething have nicknamed him Jaws you should see the way he lunges himself to try get something in his mouth he gets a dose of earache with it so quite a few screaming matches of late bless him but otherwise he's coming on leaps and bounds seems like an age since i managed to get a card done and it's pink again have bought quite a few new stamps plus some new pens to try get my mojo going i've used one of the Suger nellie Gorjuss girl stamps from Funky kits the striped backing paper is from my stash the polkadot paper and label from a free digi download from Delicious scraps sentiment is an Inkadinkadoo stamp embellishments from my stash oh and i used a border punch on the polka dot paper i don't know where the times going 5 past 10 and haven't got the washing in yet no volunteers so best DIY
