Flowery Buttons

I have had a bit of a mixed week - with some good things happening and others definitely not good.  I had a minor car accident last night - nothing worse than a dent and scrape to one side of the car but I'll have the inconvenience of not having the car while it is being repaired.  On the positive side, my first week at my new job has gone well and I'm looking forward to next week.  Hopefully, I'll still have enough time to craft!

I love this image - she looks so snug all wrapped up against the cold!  Although she wouldn't want to be wearing all that here at Christmas time as it is the middle of the summer months!  Even so, I still create winter themed cards for Christmas!
