Simple Vases Set - DigiSatmp Boutique DT

Hello Everyone, 
I hope you had a lovely weekend...we had lots of cricket! Both had training on Saturday morning and Emma played in the Yorkshire District U11's  Cup round at Sheffield University yesterday. We left home at 10.30 in the morning and didn't get back until 8pm! 
Anyway, onto my card and it's another quickie!! I've used one of the gorgeous floral images from DigiStamp Boutique. This is just one of the images from the set........

I coloured them with promarkers, and the background paper is from Nit Wits. The sentiment comes with the set.

Mount Snowdon

I though I had better explain why my blog has been a tad quiet just lately.....

On Saturday I was part of a group including 100 children and their parents who climbed Mount Snowdon to raise money for Oscar's Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity. Oscar was one of my son's friends who died from a brain tumour 3 years ago, aged just 9 yrs. 
The weather was horrendous with winds up to 70mph and torrential rain, I have never been so wet! Our Climb Snowdon guides had to make a decision that we wouldn't be able to climb to the summit because of the weather. (It was far too dangerous especially for the children). Although it was a tough walk, we were surrounded by friends and managed to raise money for a brilliant cause. 

This does however mean that there are absolutely NO crafty makes on my blog!! I just didn't get the chance, and I have to admit I'm not that fit so I do ache a bit today!

Hope you had a good weekend.
