Hello peeps,
Happy 4th July to all my American friends :)
I have a big smile on my face right now as the postie has just delivered my DT spend and a few lovely things I treated myself too while I was shopping. I ordered lots of pretty sparkly things this time which are too gorgeous to put away out of sight so I might just have to sit & smile at them for a bit lol.
