And you may have noticed that I've updated my blog design. This was a fun project I did for myself between Christmas and New Year's. :)
As some of you know ... pink is my favourite colour, with orange a close second. I found this image last year and have been holding on to it until today. I love flowers, especialy in these colours. :)

And finishing off this post, a Merry Christmas photo of Jessie and Violeta by Alex!

Beautiful flowers Loll, and I love the pretty green over the top, and the white embossed sentiment looks great. What a wonderful photo Alex has taken of both sweet dogs, and it seems unbelievable that Jessie is more than three now. Thank you for your new year wishes and sending you all my good wishes for 2023! x
