and well done Sue as well

I like the ones I can enter from work, but I promise to make something for the crafty challenges as well - in fact, if I don't enter at least one making challenge, I give you the right to take my 'little something' and give it to someone else.

Congrats on the last question Sue - you have a fertile imagination.

Never mind H - if we could have combined our brain cells we might have got somewhere.
