Craft or Sleep?

I thought I'd show you all where I spend lots of my time.

The journalling:

Base card is yellow Bazzill and the PP that I've cut is DCWV Glitter Posies. I die-cut the title on my Tag-A-Long with Tootsie alphabet and pale blue paper. As a final touch I added a 'made with love' metal heart.

I was going to do a DLO and use a photo of my bed, but I'm wondering whether to do that or something else. Watch this space.

Haven't we had some glorious weather these last few days? I've had the windows and French doors open every day and even sat outside to eat. Summer's here at last ~ woohoo!!!

The photograph was taken during Easter week 2007, when my friend JoJo, her husband and little boy came over for a barbecue. The weather was so much nicer last year and we were able to sit outside and eat without getting too cold!
