Make It Monday Linky Party

Hi Blogging Buddies,


I've just had a wonderful holiday in Japan, must be one of the cleanest countries I've ever visited, and the weather was just wonderful, we travelled on the Bullet train through the country, and the trees are just starting to change colour, and it was just gorgeous.. so many stories to tell, here's a quick one... there was a couple from Tokyo staying in the same Ryokan as us, and he got us drinking sake, we drank it hot, cold then sweet ... well all I can say is it was a long way down to my bed, which was on the floor!


Ok, onto my card, this card I created for my daughters baby shower, she has two boys, and I think she might have another, so thought I would give something with a little pink, I crated the cute bib using my, 
nestibilities.  As I've only just got back didn't have time to do the digi.
