This is the second card that I made for the challenges but I decided not to submit it as I wasn’t too sure that it met all the criteria.

It has a retro feel to it – all those circles. Most definitely reminds me of the Spirograph that I used to play with for hours on end. I couldn’t get a good photo of it – my phone could not cope – but the original does look better in real life (honest).

I’m currently in Florida on the first leg of the college visits with my son, Michael.

It was an interesting journey – very bumpy at the start and it was upsetting to see the towns and villages that have been devastated by the flooded River Thames. The landing was a lot better but it took us over 4 hours to get out of the airport. Not something I needed after what was nearly 10 hours in the air and with a hour in the car still to do. Oh well, we are here now and don’t have to fly again until Tuesday evening when we are off on the next leg to California. With all the travelling I’m doing again this year I only hope that I can spend my air-miles. Maybe a flight to Brussels to this year’s European Convention in October?
