Pucker Up Ladies..........

Morning

Hope your week has got off to a good start, I had an awful day at work yesterday but I soon cheered up when I found my name had come up on Colette's blog in the draw on the Teddy Bo blog hop so I got to pick a free digi and I also won Colette's candy too!!  YAY ME, I am not normally very lucky in draws!!

My pics are a little dark so please excuse, it's so dismal here that I struggled to get a good one!!  My fav pink Copic ran out so I had to use the RV range, I don't like them quite as much, slightly to fluorescent or my liking however I think sweet sugar candy pink quite suits this image.

Morning

Happy Sunday, what you got planned today??  Me I am hoping for an easy day, just cooking a Sausage Casserole for tonight and then should have some crafty time.  I was a good girl yesterday and got lots of jobs done, just got the ironing to tackle but I am hoping hubby will do some too!   Looking forward to Dancing on Ice tonight, hope its better than last year though!
