25th Wedding Anniversary

Morning all,

It's our 25th Wedding Anniversary so I created this card for Shamus using our wedding photo from 1993.

It's a different style for me and as you know men don't like a lot of fuss or frills so this was a happy medium and something I could manage with my daft shoulder without using my arm too much.

We've had a lovely day so far. We had to cancel going away for the night due to me but we went out for brunch then popped to a couple of shops. We'll enjoy a nice cosy evening with a chinese and a film together.

We have had some lovely cards and gifts. So generous. I am overwhelmed.

Hope you're all having a lovely day whatever you're up to.

Catch up with you all soon.

Hugs Debbiexxx
