Hello

 

Good afternoon crafters, i know its mid January but i just want to say
 happy new year  to you all
Over the last few months my crafting has been none existent mainly due work commitments and trips to Chester to visit my 83 year Mum who recently had a hip replacement ,  i've not had much time for anything  let alone crafting, and now my mojo has gone AWOL i  just hope i find it again soon and get back to visiting all your lovely blogs

Take care
Hugs Lorna xx
