I feel i have neglected my blog not been on here for ages, have had a lot going on, Hope everyone is well and making some gorgeous cards as usual, will be popping by the bloggs later to check up on everyone.
I thought this year i might try and do more blog challenges, but sometimes there is just not enough time in the day, Does anyone else feel like this or is it just me and poor planning....LOL
