Hello lovely people,
Things I am happy about today;
1) I have had an utterly amazing 38 day holiday in America but am actually happy to be home again to sleep in my own bed and catch up with all my friends and family
Things I am happy about today;
1) I have had an utterly amazing 38 day holiday in America but am actually happy to be home again to sleep in my own bed and catch up with all my friends and family
2) I passed my course and am now a Pharmacist Independent Prescriber (so I can prescribe medicines just like a doctor!)
3) It has been sunny today so I was able to do a little tidying in the garden; still LOTS more to be done though!
4) While I was away, this happened...
I had to sit on this news for ages and then I was unable to get my hands on the actual magazine until I got back to the UK so I am super excited to finally share it with you.
I even got a little bit of my colouring on the cover!
I thought I'd share all 3 cards at once rather than spread them out but I won't do all the extra shots with close ups and details as this post would be unbelievably long if I did, and I kept the cards fairly simple anyway to show off the images.
#1 - my favourite card of the trio :-)
