A lovely card Sandra - and a delightful LOTV image of course! They always make me smile - it's such a shame LOTV are pulling back more and more into just selling digital stuff. I loved their art pads etc. It's all down to overheads I suspect, sigh.

I expect you're nicely settled into your home now (I hesitate to call it new home as in many ways it must have been such a comfort to move back).

Have a lovely Easter my little friend - no doubt you'll be having fun with the kiddies.

Hugs

Totally sweet card! Sounds like you had a lovely day out. Our weather is improving here in Michigan, USA. Still fairly cold, but the crocuses are out and the daffodils are trying to make a showing.
