I hope you'll have a chance to hop over and check it out. My nephew loved it, so that's what really counts! I'm aiming to share some of my adventures in Beijing next if I can get my act together, so I'll hope to see you again soon.
Oh, I love hugging. I wish I was an octopus so that I could hug ten people at a time.

The fact that three-fifths of an octopus's neurons are not in their brain but in their arms suggests that each arm has a mind of its own.

You don't do cards too often but when you do I love them! Xx
Sounds like your Nephew will love this Alison, the greeny blues make a lovey ocean and like how you have carried the little water bubbles out of the main element onto the Kraft borders.
