"Chuffed", so I made a card

Hi to everyone that has taken time out to visit my blog on this hot Sunday evening. I hope you have all had a good, and relaxing day. I am taking it easy today, as yesterday I was bitten by something. It started to turn into a blister, my ankle is now swollen and  the blister is now the size of a 10p piece, it's disgusting. I hope you are not about to sit down to eat dinner ( Sorry ). So I have kept my foot up and made a card ( not easy ) because as you must have read on Sue's blog that I was the Wednesday card winner.  Paul said my face was a picture and if he had had a camera ready he would have put it on my blog. Then he said, maybe not, not before the ready mix and a face painting artist arrived. He did'nt stay in my workroom too long after that. He looks really cool with a black eye. (not really )!!.

Anyway, I was so chuffed at winning a WOW, I made a card to celebrate, again I hope you like this card.

Have missed card making

Hi Everyone that regularly visits my blog, and  to those that just view every so often and just passing by, you are most welcome.

Paul and I had a lovely day Monday celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary, we should have gone for lunch but got distracted by caravans. No lunch, but did buy some dies as a form of compensation. I think I did pretty well, as you only get one meal but you get lots of fun from Sue's dies.

I hope you like this card, and Steph, yes I did purchase the butterflies. You know me too well.

Products used:-

C&C mirri board
Black card
Cheery Lynn design-Mexican tile pattern

WHAT no card

Sorry it's only me again, no card. We have been very busy cleaning out our son's new abode, and heaving furniture in and out, up and down in one room, out to another. I can't believe a time my crackers have been so creamed!!.

Craig said to me I will be over on Sunday to clean my old bedroom, well I have never know anyone have so many tea breaks, had a homemade cheese burger and then say,  can't wait for the Lasagne. I miss him already he only moved out a few days ago, but he is going to stay over night tonight and go to work from here then back to his new place. I'm thinking of locking the doors so he can't leave. Is that wrong?

I was going to have a day of crafting tomorrow and make a card for my blog, but Paul has taken a day off work and we are going to go and look at a new caravan, go for lunch and then come home and have a lovely bar-b-q just for us 2 lonely sad old g--ts with empty nest syndrome on our 35th Wedding Anniversary. Hey Ho.

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend, and thank you for popping by it's very much appreciated. So I hope you have a pleasant Sunday evening, and  from a sunny but windy Wiltshire. Be back soon, with a card I hope!

Kind regards :-)

THANK YOU

Good Sunday afternoon everyone

Hope you  had a good weekend.

The house has been very quiet,  calm and has stayed clean, while hubby Paul has gone walking in the Lake District. I have taken full advantage and played with all 4 cats, and crafted to my hearts content. My son is upstairs packing as he gets the key's to his own place tomorrow, I say this with tears in my eye's yet again,I am going to miss him soooo much.

Thank you for all the support you have given us, for a fair few months now, with all the sad things that have happened in our lives just lately, and you are still giving to  us, so I thought I would make this card for you all.

On a much lighter note, thank you for asking about Bubble & Squeak after their ops. They are just fine, I don't know if they transplanted a hunger bug into them, but if they carry on begging for more food, it will be a case of honey I blew up the KITS.

 I really know how to spoil them, tomorrow it is a trip to our own vet for a post op check and 2nd lot of feline jabs. I would like to say that it is going to be a noisy ride but when they open their mouths to meow nothing comes out, the only time i get a tiny little noise is when they get in dirt tray. I always say to them we''ll know soon enough you don't have to announce it. ( Sorry ).




Any way thank you for popping by again I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Regards :-)

Morning of the big op



Look at the two innocent faces, did'nt have clue I was about to take them back to the Blue Cross for their respective operations. Good job they did'nt realise. I felt so guilty.

Squeak even climbed up the duvet to be put in the basket. I can't wait till 4 o' clock when I can pick them up again. Bless em!!
