I've been waiting to see your lighthouse, Sylvia and it was definitely worth the wait, it's gorgeous. I love the way you've put the light in. Such a gentle soothing card.
Hope you are braving the weather. At least the sunshine has returned today. I had to take F up onto the moors yesterday so that she could have her play in the snow but the wind was withering!!
Hope you have a lovely Easter and looking forward to a catch up soon.
Hugs Lisax
