Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I was really sick last week with Mastitis - I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!!  :-(  Thankfully now, I'm back to normal thanks to a round of antibiotics!  

Now that I have my energy back and no more pain, I can get back to creating!  :-)   I have a card I'll be posting soon that I made for a challenge, so stay tuned!!
