Just Magnolia Challenge 38 and Stamp Something Challenge

Hi everyone Happy New Year to you all!!!!!!
Hope your all coping with the weather, I slipped yesterday on my way to work but managed to get there had a busy day and was hobbling about and it was hurting but i kept plodding on as you do.
When i got home and got to sit down for a rest i could not get back up i was in a lot of pain with my right leg so i have not gone in today, this morning it does feels a lot better but will see if being on it makes it worse.
I really hate being laid up like this but thank god i have not broken anything as so many people have had more serious injury's due to this weather and i wish them all a good quick recovery.

So here i am resting and i've done a little crafting yes at last my first card of 2010
