Good morning all.

Hope everyone is enjoying the fine'ish weather we are having :). I am optimistic that the summer will last, at least until the kids break up end of July lol.

Yesterday I went with my friend to IKEA. Love that place and could spend a small fortune but restricted myself to things I needed (which also helps when I want new stamps). And our new baby is finally here. Hardly slept a wink last night as was worried about her all alone in her hutch since leaving her mum and siblings. James has named her Coco (will try and get pics asap).

Wanted to share this card featuring free digital rose from Clearly Besotted Stamps and would like to enter it into the CBS challenge
