Well it's rather late and we have one of our little granddaughters staying over tonight. She's fast asleep in my bed, lol, we got the two dogs as well and we've had a thunderstorm which sent one of them bananas and us too. Not keen on having the doors scratched to pieces! Added to our two dogs it's a nightmare. It's now stopped and it's once again peaceful in the laundry where they are bedded down.
Love to see you popping into the blog with a creation or two. Help us see the year out with a bang!!!!
Thanks for stopping by,
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.
Hugs, Sandy
