Top Tip Tuesday - Stars And Stripes

Morning all, well still on painkillers but feeling slightly better - hope that today may be the last day I need to take them - Its OK till I eat and then all I want to do is cry! Well As you can guess I haven't managed to craft much the last four days and I am really getting withdrawal symptoms - Every time I try to look down to colour the pain sets off again!  Oh well it will have to be over soon! 

As you can guess I don't have a creation to share with you just yet for this weeks challenge over at TTT - but I am hopeful to get one together soon! Maybe even today if I'm lucky - I will have to see how I am after the school run!   ANyway I Will let you know about the challenge we are looking for...
