Xmas Wait

Hi,

Clio managed last week to pick up a mild form of kennel cough, so is now taking anti - inflammatory's and has to do lead walks away from other dogs ;-(

Today is the start of the new Challenge at Penny Black And More and this month, it's 'Black, White And One Other Colour', as you can see i went for 'Red' and as usual we have some fabby sponsors :
