Hope you all had a nice New Year, we had a great time in Aberdeen, went to Union terrace to watch the fireworks at midnight and they were stunning, then on New Year's day we went to Watch AFC they were winning till the 5th minute of injury time then DUFC scored, oh well a point is better than none.
Back to work tomorrow, waiting on a delivery from stamping up! with another SAB stamp set which i hope will come tomorrow and i hope to start making some cards using the SAB stamps next week.
