Pretty in Pink....

Italy was perfect - just what we needed as a family.....

John, Lewis and Eleanor at the Spanish steps in Rome - Lewis sporting his new Ferrari hoodie and holding his Ferrari store bag !!

We took a detour to Maranello - which is the birthplace of Ferrari - and we took him to the Galleria Ferrari - he was so overcome with emotion when he walked into the room where all the Ferraris were kept he began to cry and it made it worth the extra journey......

Mummy put too many bubbles in the jacuzzi - but it was

so worth the fun they had !!!

Now onto my creation for this weeks LCI challenge - oh did I mention the excitement I felt when I got home and had made last weeks Top 3 - thank you so much Lady bugs !!

Me time......

Well what a fabulous surprise my husband sprung on me !! We are off to Italy for a week - fly into Venice for a couple of days, then on to Florence and finally Rome where we fly home from.....and then to Kent to see my MIL and FIL.... who incidentally has had a really positive week.....even managed a walk around the country park on Sunday - she hasn't walked for 4 months :) We all know what is around the corner but are trying to give her as many good times as we can - and selfishly to help us as much as her......

Here is a card I was asked to make - the lady loves to read so I chose this Nikki stamp and she absolutely loved it.
