Christmas




I have been struggling with a recurrence of a back problem and am only really comfortable lying flat or when walking sitting is really painful. No new creations but one from my saved folder. 

Love this Penny Black stamp and the Nitwit papers I teamed it with. 

thank you for popping in and leaving a comment I appreciate the time you take to do this, hope you are all keeping well and coping with the lockdown.
