I'm back

Well at long last I am back!  Just a short update on events over the last two months.  We had a water leak in the house which has meant that all my craft stuff had to be packed away!  Just glad none of it got damaged with the water.  I have been busy sorting the house out including redecorating where necessary, although it is not all finished yet I can at least now see the progress.   I also had a torn retina, so had to have some laser surgery on that, which of course meant that I couldn't do very much at all.  With luck I will now be able to spent some more time crafting.

On to much more interesting things.  I was asked to make a card for a 21st birthday with beer and football (it is the first card I have made in the two months!).  I am entering it into the CD Sunday challenge 'Allsorts', the football and beer images are from MCS and the backing paper is from Wine Buffs.
