A Bit Of A Catch Up & Some New Challenges

Hello peeps,
Apologies for being such a bad blogger, unfortunately I was a tad optomistic when I thought I would be able to finish my DT cards with my thumb immobilised, even using my computer mouse has been virtually impossible so I have been a naughty girl and removed the tape but to be honest it feels less painful than having it taped up so I'm just being very careful with it  and seeing how it goes.
I have loads to get through & I don't know quite where to being lol.

 First up is a catch up, here is my
