Hello peeps :)
I can't decide what I want to do today! I keep getting drawn to looking out the patio doors & thinking I need to get my nice flowery welly boots & coat on & tidy up the garden while it isn't raining, but I also think I ought to get out my distressed inks & pens & play with them before I forget how to colour with them, & staying in the warm is a nice thought, mmmm decisions decisions lol.
