Good morning all. Hope your weekend plans are going okay thus far.
Had a nice day at the zoo yesterday, the weather was very mild so everyone was there! I do find Edinburgh zoo very tiring going up and down all those hills though. Managed to see both the giant pandas but some of the other animals weren't out on view. Didn't manage to get to Hobbycraft though as I was too tired by the time we headed home so we'll do that next week once Lora is back at school.
I'm sharing a birthday card made for my brother today.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Carol and your brother will just love it, great image and l do like how you tie your ribbons, walking around zoos can be really tiring as there is so much to look at what a pity though you didn't mange hobbycraft that means you didn't get to treat yourself......next time hopefully enjoy your weekend x
