    I too have been sick and the only thing that I can actually do is look at blogs. It makes it hard to see so many great ideas and not have the energy to follow through.

    Thanks for hosting.

    Thanks so much for hosting, its great to get back into some crafty projects for 2013 :) I love all the Valentine link ups, its not really a holiday we celebrate in Australia other than hope to get flowers or choccies from our partners! So its really interesting to see what others do to decorate in other parts of the world :)
