Summer days .... where have they gone!

Good morning all

Well I got back from my hollies yesterday and don't think I like it much - who stole summer while I was away! - its freezing and there's supposed to be gales and rain today - take me back to Florida lol.

I'm doing a catch up on DT cards as after 3 weeks away I have nothing in reserve.  This is an attempt to kill two birds with one stone!  I made it for the mid month post over at 

Ready Teddy Go 

the theme this month
 - ironically is -

I used this really cute little bear by
Stampart by Kathryne 
called
Wagon Ride - available here

I just love Kathys little bear digis - they really are the best and this one looks like he's out enjoying the summer sun - must be Florida 'cos it aint happening here lol

I'll be back another day with some photos of what I got up to on my hollies - so watch this space

Summer officially disappeared last Friday Judith and was it a culture shock or what. Like you I have been freezing ever since I came home as well.

At least your card is bright and cheery with a nice warm feel.

Hope you have a good Sunday.
