Has anyone seen my mojo??

No card tonight, sorry! I appear to have lost my mojo, has anyone seen it on their travels? Have spent the day sneezing and coughing with hayfever or a mild cold, whatever it is, it has chased away my inspiration. I have made two cards both for a challenge and they have ended up in the bin. Not a normal thing for me, I haven't had it this bad before. Am off to blogland to look for it, should it turn up I will post something over the weekend. Hope your's is in tact and is happily thriving.

Does anyone have a good remedy for hayfever other than 'Piraton', it sends me to sleep, and as I am working all weekend, that may not be a good thing, as I am dozy enough without it, lol! Any ideas would be gratfully received. Have a lovely weekend peeps, hugs Heidi (sneeze, cough, sneeze)!! xxx
