Monday as came and went, and what has today brought, well weather wise, it's been 4 season in one day, rain, sun, wind and sleety snow showers, fantastic weather, NOT! The day has flown past and there have been so many people in and out of my house today, i don't think the kettle ever really had a chance to get cold, but it was nice catching up with so many friends.

Adam goes to Beavers on a Monday and has been working on his Experiment badge, he choose to grow something from a bulb and record what happens in pictures, so we spent this afternoon after school putting them all together so he could do a show and tell this evening, and he proudly came back a few hours later a happy wee boy after gaining his first badge, well done to him xxx.

Anyway onto todays card, I have used the sketch provided over at TRULY SCRUMPTIOUS to make this card.......
