I had really missed doing my crafting to me that is my time and very relaxing.
  I have actually just joined the wonderful Group of Ladies at FatTasticTuesday
 I am really looking forward to working with them and getting to know each and everyone of them,
This week I chose and image from Digi Darla's called Teacup Chick

 The Sentiment " Day's like these are what I will Always Remember" is from my stash..
