Today's Makes.

Well we're still pretty grotty here today, Aiden has been off school today with fever and sore throat too we slept the morning away together on the sofa!
I've just made the two cards today I'm affraid with my ribs sore from all the coughing I haven't got a great deal of enthusiasm but some goodies arrived in the post so I had to test them out.
Having this cold has caused a bit of a dent in my bank balance owing to the laptop making its way into the bedroom!! This week I treated myself to a mini "Bowdabra" bow making machine and a We are Memory Keepers "Easy Sew".
Hope your day..........
