Saturday chat

Morning  readers,

When I woke up this morning, the sun was shining so I got all "domestic Goddess-y" and put laundry on, stripped beds and the like - you should see it now!!! I'm just waiting to have to dash out and bring it all in out of the rain!! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Still, can't keep me away from the Table of Craftiness and I've a couple of makes to share this morning, the first one is this anniversary card - never have too many of these ready to use!
