Leaving you with a wonderful gesture from a very special blog friend, Monika Reeck, who sent me a a very chic birthday card, all the way from Munchen in Germany to me here in Johannesburg, South Africa. Monika has tried before to send me a card but it got lost in the post. The post to and from South Africa is very unreliable so this is just so awesome that Monika's card arrived. Isn't it a beautiful card - THANK YOU SO MUCH MONIKA!!!! Wish I had such lovely slim and long legs lol. Please visit Monika's blog to see her beautiful CAS designs. She is the queen of CAS.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by here at my little space in blog land.
My sincere apologies for not getting round to visiting your beautiful blogs and leave some love.
Life is definitely in the way at the moment and keeping me from fun things.
Promise I will be visiting all of you in due course - all the love you have left here has been saved.
Thank you for understanding xxx
