That has felt like a long day.  I went to see Fifty Shades of Gray last night with some friends, not sure about it really, the ending felt that it was cut short.  Anyway, I didn't get in until 11.15 last night and then had to be up at 4 this morning to go to work.  I thing it will be an early night for me.


This sympathy card is an order from a colleague at work for her friend, who's husband has passed away.  I have gone for a clean and simple style in white and browns.
