Good Afternoon

I am late posting my card for the Alphabet Challenge this week, but I am not having a very good week - my granddaughter Emma has been quite poorly this week, very sick and unable to eat or drink.  On Wednesday   it was her 8th birthday and she was taken into hospital where she still is while they try to find out what is making her so sick they are doing tests for allegies etc. so we have to wait and see.  I am so sorry not to have been round to visit your blogs but hopefully will get round over the weekend.

Now to my card for Alphabet Challenge which for this fortnight is:

H for Happy

Use the word Happy on your creation.
