Princess Of The Valley - Simon Says Stamp DT Card

Good morning peeps,

We've actually had some rain at long last, I love listening to the sound of the rain & my garden is going to be so happy, the only trouble is the rain brings more pain in my shoulder so I'm having a nice relaxing day snuggling indoors watching a film & colouring, hubby finished work at 8am & is already snoring in his chair so I'm guessing we'll watch the film later lol.

Today is new challenge day at
