WOYWW #381

Can't believe my last Woyww post was July last year.
I have been very lapse there.
Do pop along to Miss Julia's blog and join us.

WOW It has been so long since I created anything.
Health took a nose dive and although still not good it is at least allowing me to move.
My hands still hurt like a bugger but I HAVE to do something crafty so I decided to sort out my dies.
They are now being organized into binders on magnetic sheets.
Looks much better than having them all in a heap in my drawer lol
