There are lots of dairy alternatives around it is just getting used to the change but if you feel better that's the incentive.<br />You look as if you are enjoying the singing. Great action shot! Everyone is concentrating.<br />A lovely colour combo for the card challenge and your chess card works just perfectly. I love the matching background chess pieces. <br /><br />Back to normal here too, as you put it, whatever normal is!<br /><br />Hugs Erika. xErikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874556508049407144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358609042692535536.post-90226752391396613882016-01-09T03:28:45.507+00:002016-01-09T03:28:45.507+00:00Welcome back Kate.

I don't take lactose too because it sends my psoriasis into overdrive. Not a fan of soy so I opt for nut milk, such as almond milk, cashew milk, hazelnut milk (with cocoa makes a delicious drink... liquid Nutella... ymmmm). It's a pain to start with but you get used to because nowadays there are so many delicious alternatives. Sorry for ambling... Love your card. And thank you for playing CB's colour challenge.<br />hugs <a href="http://sunnysummercrafts.blogspot.pt" rel="nofollow">Asha</a> Peanuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623412002975349128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358609042692535536.post-1351592201782688992016-01-07T22:05:51.304+00:002016-01-07T22:05:51.304+00:00Hi Kate

He is really picking the rules of the game up fast. Don't make any resolutions either only those under my breath! Lol.

I am also dairy intolerant too, so have had to make big changes to my diet. I went to see an iridologist to get my food intolerances checked out, and it did change things for me. It was not a huge expense but was worth the effort. I hope that you feel better with your changes too.<br />Anyway, enough of my epic reply! Thank you for your entry into the Chocolate Baroque Challenge, a super card for Damian, great layout and use of the challenge colours.
