Happy Birthday

Good Afternoon all. Hope you've had a lovely day. I was up at 5 this morning with Chris who's gone fishing with my dad. Mum is away in London for a few days with my dad's sister. I've just called her and it sounds like she is having a great time.  We had a lovely day yesterday.  We went to Bodnant Gardens in Wales, it was lovely, all the trees turning red and then we went to Penrhyn Castle and had a lovely meal on the way back so it was quite a long day.

I decided to tidy up my craft (dining) room this morning and all was going well until I remembered I needed a card for one of Chris's work colleagues, so now my room is back to square one and I'm too tired to tidy it again.  It can wait 'til tomorrow I'll just shut the door and pretend its not there.

Here is the culprit card.  Hope you like it.  Try to ignore the off kilter matting and layering.  The image is stuck down with that red tape so it wasn't going to budge again.
