Whimsy Stamps January blog hop - Happy New Year!

Happy new Year!!

Oh I feel like I've been away for ages, I packed all my crafty stuff away for the holidays and have paid only the occasional visit to blogland - I've really enjoyed our quiet family Christmas and New Year and I'm slowly getting my pens and papers and all the other paraphernalia out to make a brand new start for 2013, and this is my very first inspiration card this year for the Whimsy Stamps blog hop
