We had an absolutely brilliant holiday, cruising round the Mediterranean with Celebrity Reflection and the sun never stopped shinning, although at times it was a bit too hot for sight seeing - 35C in Athens !!, i've included a couple of photos (although i will have to add the Rome and Athens ones, when i managed to download them from the ipad !!).

Us standing at the top of an active volcano in Santorini (it was a hike of 600 metres to the top), afterwards we went for a swim in a hot spring (that was cool), which was very welcoming

I started stamping and colouring this image before i went on holiday : Penny Black - 'Hedge-Word / 4060K / 2010', for those of you that are familiar with this stamp - it normally say's 'Birthday', but i covered that up and added 'Fathers', papers are really old : DCWV - 'Black And White Prints Paper Stack', the brads and ribbon is from my stash.
