Good Friday Morning Ladies,

Firstly I would like to welcome any new visitors that have found their way to us from over from 
Set Craft's Facebook page, you are most welcome to come on in and join in with the fun and laughter 
amongst all of the ladies on this blog, because this is a place where we all come to chat with each other about absolutely anything and share our love of Crafting, This blog has been nicknamed the Cotswold Crafter Cafe, some of the ladies named it that after visiting a few times, many months ago, they said it is just like going into a 'cafe', where you would go to meet up with friends.
I post every single day, not only the cards that I have made but those of my lovely blog friends too.
We share what bargains we have bought each week, what we have made, where we have been, you name it, we share it.  We even have a 'Virtual Soap Box', which is great to use when you just want to get something off your chest!  

Today as it is Friday, I thought I would post a few 'Favourites for Friday', looking back at some of my favourite cards from the past year.  They are an eclectic mix, mostly made from Creative Expressions Dies,
a few others too, the first card is made with a Tonic die though, I just fell in love with that die when I first saw it. The second card was my first attempt at stamping a complete decorative image, I really enjoyed doing it too.  

How are your Monday Sketch Challenge cards going ladies? I have received a few really fantastic cards already.  Don't forget your Craft Space photos too, I may feature them tomorrow.

Whatever you are up to have a fabulous day Ladies, I will call back later to catch up with all of you.
To all of our new visitors, please feel free to stick around and join in, or have a look back at some of our older posts, to see what both myself and all of the ladies of the blog have been creating.  Feel free to join us and send your cards in to share with us too.

Sending love and hugs to our absent friends,

love and hugs to all of you too,
Sandra

  1. Good morning Sandra and all who po in today,
    I have finished my sketch card so will photo it and send it to you today and will do a quick tidy up in my craft room and photo that.
    It's quite dark here in Wigan just now but hopefully we won't have a bad day, John has been on holiday this week but has t seen most of it because we have been decorating and quite busy, we might take the dogs out for the day.
    I hope everyone who has had a cold or something even nastier are feeling better.
    Hugs to Barbara, Patricia and Sheila and Nikki, thinking of you all and look forward to you popping back in when you are feeling up to it.
    See you all later.
    Hugs in the basket, feel free to take whatever you need.
    Jean xx

    Sandra-what a lovely selection of cards this morning. I'm hoping to get crafting on Saturday as I've booked a table at an attic sale to try to sell some cards etc. The Attic Sale is the 27th but as you know, I'm off to the craft show at Leigh on the 20th and will probably stay a while at my in-laws house after we've finished shopping!

    Thank goodness it's Friday-it's been a very strange week though, I could get used to a two day week!! He he.

    Will pop back later.

  4. Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today.
    As Maria asked last night I have just popped the coffee and tea on and put some fresh flowers in the vases, that's all that needed doing as Maria had given the Cafe a really good clean last night, thank you for doing that Maria : ) I have also added some extra calorie free cakes and cookies to the display for all of the extra visitors that I hope we get from Set Craft. I expect someone else has beaten me to it but it takes me ages to type my comment, and it doesnt matter if we get lots of flowers, I bet I'm not the only one that is cheered up on seeing them around.
    Welcome to any new visitors, come on in, help yourself to a drink and something to eat, remember that everything is calorie free here so go on, treat yourself. One thing that Sandra didn't say is that we can all be a bit daft at times so be ready for a good chuckle. It is true that this is the most caring blog and we really do support each other through both good and bad times.
    Sandra, what a lovely way to wake up, seeing all of these gorgeous cards. It would be really hard to choose a favourite but I am biased towards the third card as Sandra so kindly gave it to me for my birthday last year : ) Thank you for sharing all of these beauties my lovely. I hope the sciatica is improving, sending you big hugs x
    Maria, you were naughty to do all of that cleaning g in the Cafe last night, you must look after yourself until you are back to normal. I also have an afternoon nap most days, it makes me feel like a toodler again(wish my body was as fit now as it was then though!) Sending hugs to you x
    Michele, I am so glad that you are feeling better, please take it easy for a few more days though.
    Norah, I hope you are not in quite so much pain today. What a shame Campbell and his family couldn't have acted more thoughtfully and been more respectful! They should be ashamed of themselves. Sending gentle hugs.
    Barbara, sending hugs to you. We are here for you whenever you feel up to popping in.
    I hope everyone is as well as can be. Look after yourselves. Take care xx

  5. Good Morning All, fabulous array of cards today Sandra, you are a very talented lady.
    Not sure I can really show my room as it's where I work so rather crammed.
    Michele glad you're feeling better, know what you mean about a 2 day week,

    Sadly my Sister was taken ill and is back to our large main hospital so shall be going to see her this afternoon, praying that she's better, she broke her pelvis on Dec 23rd last year, and is still not walking, very concerned now as such a long time in bed.
    Have a good day everyone, I'll pop in later for a cuppa and a bun, ( diet not going well ).
    Hugs abound catch one if you'd like one.
    Best wishes Lilian

  7. Morning/Afternoon/Evening to all who pop in today.
    I think that takes care of all parts of the day.

    SANDRA - what a beautiful array of cards today. All are beautiful and so different but all have your definite stamp on them.

    The Cafe's looking lovely this morning and just waiting for new visitors to come through the door. Welcome to the best Cafe and Craft Blog you will find.
    We may be a little on the 'mad' side but we are not 'dangerous' well some of us may be at times but we'll gloss over that (does that comment call for a tin hat?) You're very welcome so come in, have a cuppa and stay a while and talk to us and come visiting again.

    Well I still didn't get to send my Challenge Card to Sandra yesterday as I got caught up in finishing a birthday card and my Daughter visited requesting a birthday card for Lily-Mae's birthday which is on Sunday and she's coming back this morning to collect it so my first job this morning is to send the picture to Sandra and then I'm afraid housework calls.

    I hope we don't run out of tea and coffee as I think it may be a busy day here today.
    Thinking of all Dear Friends who are absent and having a difficult time. Gentle hugs are on their way to you all.
    Hugs are in the basket by the door and just waiting to be used. See you all later. xxxx

  10. Morning Sandra,

    SET's Facebook comments came through in my news feed earlier. What a wonderful introduction they gave for your blog!
    Beautiful cards to showcase this morning, can't pick a favourite, although the gorgeous circle card keeps popping into my mind.

    I'm struggling with the challenge card as panto has taken up so much of my time lately. The shows start a week on Wednesday and it will be all systems go. Hopefully I will find some time this afternoon to get one done and posted to you.
    I'm also in the process of making a Wedding ring for my great niece to be. Lost my mojo yesterday so after that dreaded swear word (housework), I'm going to crack on again and see if I can get that finished as well.

    Loving thoughts to Barbara and Sheila, I know this is a hard time for both of you, you are in my prayers and I hope to see you soon.

    I think I will have to get of a wiggle on if I want to finish everything today, though these days after being a skinny minnie for years there is certainly more to wiggle!

    Love 7 hugs

  13. Good morning my little coffee shop cherubs,
    It's lovely seeing this selection of your makes today Sandra, so many really pretty ones that deserve their wee bit time on the blog to shine and be happy.
    Good morning to all our new coffee shoppers that have walked in today just be wary that my little Huggles like to surprise you and jump up for hugs. There is a basket where they are all supposed to stay and be good but they get quite excited at the thought of someone new that may want to adopt them so please stay and have a drink and we do any kind of cake that is your desire and they are non fattening with no calories so good for your diet if you are on one. We are crafters with all kinds of talents that gets shown in the display cabinet in the cafe so please let us see some of your work as well.
    Well girls it's the end of an era this morning as Mum's house passed into the hands of the new owners there at 10:47 this morning and it feels strange but it needs to be loved and have happiness running around in it again and that is what it will have. Stuart and Fiona want to do major works on it before moving in which means the new carpets that i got fitted throughout will be cut and destroyed as the wee toilet is being moved to under the stairs to gain an extra 8" to make the wee toilet that has a window as it is on the outside wall and the boiler cupboard are getting made into an office for Stuart. Boy has this laddie got wild ideas and i don't think he really understands just how little extra room he is actually going to get with moving the boiler cupboard wall in line with the stair case wall but he will learn, and i just hope he is not too disappointed. But the good thing is they are moving in right next door to her parents house so she at least knows her neighbours. They might decide that maybe it wasn't such a good move when her dad starts with his pal through the wall from him.
    Anyway please can i have a latte please in my TT cup as i have the shoogles again today and don't want to be wearing it and i think i will have a bowl of lentil soup if you have it today Sandra. I have the Huggles into their baskets along with some of the little hand hotters as they are just the right size for them to have a warm bed, i'm just up in the corner.
    Love Norah x

    1. Hi Norah
      At least the house is now sorted and you can relax. I do hope your huggles don't get into to much mischief today. You can never tell can you what sort of trouble they can get up to when new visitors arrive. I hope you enjoy your lentil soup.

      Delete
    2. I know it must feel strange someone else owning your mum's house but it is good to know there will be laughter there again soon and people to love it, my mums house has been up for sale for a few years now but nothing happening, my brother insisted on renting it out for a couple of years until the market picked up but we had to use the money to spruce the place up again as the company in charge of it didn't bother so that was a complete waste of time and money and we are still at square one. Ok rant box back in the corner !
      Hugs Anne xo

    3. Hi Norah, must be a weird feeling for you today that the house is gone but as you say it will get some life back, and maybe they got or will have some little ones putting sunshine and laughter into the house again. Think the huggles got hold of the TT cup so mind how you drink, never know what or who is hiding in there. :) Take care xxx

    4. Hello Norah my Dear Friend
      I know it feels odd that someone is in Mum's house but as you say at least there will be fun and laughter again where you and Jim enjoyed a wonderful Childhood.

  14. Hello Sandra and everyone in the Coffee Shop,

    I feel dizzy, I've been in and out of the blog three times already this morning. Every time I start something happens, hopefully this time I will not have any distractions.
    Sandra, such beautiful cards each and everyone is very special. I'm sure the recipients were over the moon with there beautiful cards.

    It's lovely to see you have had some visitors from Set Crafts. I looked on their website when you gave me the address - confession coming up! ......... I ordered the Lattice Window Striplet and Australian Background dies. Can't wait for them to arrive.

    Well it time to get a wiggle on, am working on my sisters accounts. If I get them finished I will then pop into Croydon to pick up a birthday present for one of our grandsons. He will be 14 tomorrow. We will be seeing him on Sunday. So must get organised- Miracles do happen!!

    Sending 'special' love, hugs and prayers to Saba, Sheila, Norah and anyone who needs that little extra care.

    Love and Hugs to everyone, Brenda xxx

    As I said last night Sandra ,I will be makibg quick visits for the next few days as my lovely son and daughter in law arrived unexpectedly as a surprise from the UK last night. It is a milestone birthday for me on Sunday and them visiting was the furthest thing from my mind. I was on cloud nine last night, woke up this morning thinking I'd drempt the whole thing and so happy to find it was real. Just come in from a lovely lunch out - the first of many before they leave on Tuesday. So as I say it will be quick ins and outs over the next few days.

    Thanks for all your comments re my health. Am feeling so much better that I was totally back to normal at work today-which means bossy if you ask my colleagues!! There was lots to sort out after being off for 3 days.

    It's difficult to know what might sell at an Attic Sale in a church so I have cards, some pillow boxes(filled with fancy a pack of tissues & a lip balm) and some curvy keepsake boxes which will have Easter eggs in-probably a Creme egg. I just need to make a few Mother's Day cards the all I need to do is make some signs for the baskets the cards will be in. It's £8 for the table & the sale is just the morning so it's a learning curve! At least I still have 2 weeks to get organised.

  20. Hi Sandra and everyone. I arrived here from Set Crafts Facebook page early this morning. I managed a quick look around before work, and couldn't wait to get back to see more! Only now after a very busy day have I managed to sit down and comment! What a fabulous blog with so many beautiful creations, and friendly members :-) Hoping I'll be able to pop in often and join in the crafty fun xx

    SANDRA I hope you received my Email with them. Terry said I need a new memory card. Think I could also do with one of them HaHa.
