Back To School with Delightful Challenges


Good Morning everyone & thanks for stopping by my blog today.


I have not been a good blogger for several days now because I have had a dreadful toothache since last Thursday .... Went back to dentist on Tuesday & had a tooth removed & go back next week for a filling & clean (bloomin cheek)Lol.
Never took sooo many painkillers .... knocked me bandy Lol 


Today is a new challenge over @ Delightful Challenges. Our theme this week is 'BACK  TO SCHOOL' using 'PRIMARY COLOURS'.


Over in England our children do not return to school until 5th Sept or round about these dates. 
I did have to think about this one, because we do not have school buses in London, unless you have special needs & some private schools. I just thought back to my youngest Son watching the 'Magic School Bus' when he was younger Lol.


We have a wonderful sponsor this week 'Michelle's Scrapbooking & More' & you could be the winner of $10 Gift Voucher to spend in her online store.

So come on ALL you talented people .... get on over to Delightful Challenges & join in the fun.

    Oh this card is gorgeous Sally! I love the primary colours - perfect! Great image and layout. Oh and love the ladybird - that takes me right back to school days - remember the Ladybird Books! mind you that is going back a bit LOL.

    Really sorry to hear you have had toothache! Nothing worse! I have had awful tooth trouble, failed root canals, extractions etc - so I really empathise with you!! I remember on one occasion resorting to Malibu !!!! as the painkillers just didn't work!
    Take care and hope you are soon feeling a lot better!
    Big Hug Sue xx
