We Go Together

I have three packs of printed card blanks which I hadn't been using.  I got the idea to use them as bases so as not to hoard them!  For this one, I kept most of the sentiment on the front but covered up the image.

Hi There

My final card for now.  I need to go pick up my daughter from the bus depot as she has come down to do the swim with me!  I suspect that she is probably better prepared for it than me but as long as I finish it I will be happy.

Later on today, I am doing a 2km lake swim.  I'm really hoping the water will be warm.  The sun is shining today so that will be a help!  In the meantime, I have several cards that I created yesterday that need to be blogged!
