Take Joy in the Little Things

Good Monday Morning!
Yesterday's race didn't quite go how I had hoped for Jeff but that's Dega...lol It was VERY exciting...especially that last lap...ack!
Before the race stared I went downstairs to work on all the Viva La Verve April Challenges on SCS.
I'll just show you my favourite card of the bunch.
