Really happy to have my laddo back home and boy did i get some cuddles.He has had a blast and come home very muddy,He said he was ok the first night but the 2nd night he thought of me and nearly cried.Bless him.
Me and hubby have both missed him, the house was far too quiet and i have not slept too well when he was away so hopefully this morning i will be more awake.

Nic, I love the look of the ivory embossing powder on the vintage look. Much softer and feminine. Very nice - very nice.

I wondered how you would do with your son away for a couple of days. So glad he is back home safe and sound with lots of hugs.

Glad he is home - I know how much I missed mine when they were younger and left for a trip (actually now that they have moved off I miss them just as much but I just block it out of my mine and don't think about it). Your card is really pretty. Love the image and your flowers are super gorgeous. Hugz!

A fabulous vintage card, Nic, absolutely beautiful! It's so hard when our kids go away for the first time, I also didn't sleep much when they were gone! But if he came home muddy, he obviously had a brilliant time!!

Also, thanks for joining in at The Squirrel and the Fox!

love Mags B x
