A Gem of a Challenge #181 Snowflakes

Hi folks, hope you are all ok.

I've been a rubbish blogger over the last week or so, we've been on our holiday to Blackpool with family & friends and all had the best time. The weather was lovely too, for a change.

The day before we went, one of my cats knocked a cup of tea over my laptop keyboard and because it was on charge it shorted out and went kapput! Although I do back up my stuff. I hadn't done it for a few weeks so lost some of my stuff. I do now have another laptop but I haven't got all my stuff back on yet. Will definately be backing up everything more regularly now.

Anyhoo! I have a card to share with you all.
