Good Morning Ladies,
I hope that you are all well and that the weather is being kind to you all.
Today I am lucky enough to be able to share with you all this gorgeous Blue and Cream card (I love that colour combination), the cream gives a warmer feel, sometimes white can be a little too harsh in contrast.
I am not sure about the die that Anne has used for this card, I know the flowers are Creative Expressions Sweetheart Flowers, they look so pretty made with the matching two colours of the card, that pretty Grosgrain bow works perfectly too.
Thank you so much Anne for sending me your beautiful card to share with and inspire our ladies. Xxx
I will call in later to see what you have all been up to and give you an update on our holiday.
Sending lots of love to you all,
Sandra
Xxxxx
Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteAnne-what s truly beautiful card, it's gorgeous. I love the colour combination & the dies you have used.
Yesterday was busy, the meeting was brief-mainly because the move of the Urology service has been put on hold. Today I have a 2 hour meeting starting at 8.30....oh what fun.
Right-my review of the Dyson hairdryer. It's a lovely machine, easy to use- dried my hair quickly. I have Tendonitis in one hand and both are feeling "arthritic " so holding things or using a craft knife/scissors is difficult. I would like one of the Dyson hairdryers but I'd have to get a lot of Boots vouchers towards the cost of it. Maybe for Christmas?!
I'm doing the Tesco shopping tonight so I don't have to go anywhere after my trip to the Flower Show tomorrow with my friend.
Michele
Hi Michele. What a great start to your day, a two hour meeting! I hope the rest of the day goes well. Have a lovely day tomorrow at the flower show. I hope the weather is kind to you so that you can really enjoy yourself : ) x
DeleteHi Michel
DeleteOh the joys of meetings. I always hated meetings, they'd go on for hours and we'd not get any further forward.
Enjoy your day tomorrow.
Hope the meeting this morning wasn't too bad. Have a lovely day tomorrow at the flower show, think the sun will be out for a little longer before the rain xx
DeleteHi Everyone.
ReplyDeleteOh Anne, what a lovely card. Just love the die you've used. Is it Memory Box? The flowers are so pretty and all in my favourite blue.
Hope you are all having a great time Sandra and hope the weather is kind to you.
Quick comment today as I have an appointment with my Solicitor this morning at 9.30. Then I'm calling in to the docs to see the nurse. I cut my leg rather badly a few weeks ago and though it is starting to heal it's also become ulcerated so I think I need something more that the Savlon I'm lathering on.
Ladies, whenever you're to get these new bodies could you let me know please so I can get my flights.
Will call in later. Enjoy your morning.
Love Valxx
ps lovely to see you back Sue.
Hi Val
DeleteHope you manage to get some proper treatment for your leg.
Don't worry , we will give you plenty of forwarning so you can get some cheep tickets :-) hope you got help for your leg, take care xx
DeleteHi Val hope you got some treatment for yor leg. Don't worry as MARIA said we will let you know well in advance. I did try to get a prescription just now from the nurse for a new body but she said they don't do them on the NHS haha. Take care love Lynda xx
DeleteGood morning ladies,
ReplyDeletePaul has asked me to thank you all for your birthday wishes yesterday, he had a lovely day on the beach and kayaking with Sophie and Lucy. We then went out for dinner last night.
The site is so much busier than usual, the office explained that it was due to the Dutch holiday makers not wanting to visit Turkey, Tunisia etc due to the problems they have had recently! But we are all set up and relaxed.
Val I hope you get your leg sorted, that's been a few weeks now, so I hope nurse can help you. Its so frustrating that we are in the same country yet still so far apart!
Sending hugs to all of you,
Love Sandra xxxxx
Hi my lovely. It's good to hear that Paul enjoyed himself yesterday. How many times did he capsize I wonder? I'm glad you are settled in now and relaxing. What's the weather like, you had some rain last year didn't you. Have another lovely day. Sending you big hugs xx
DeleteSounds like your all having a great time Sandra and I'm glad you enjoyed your meal. Look forward to seeing you when we come back off our hols.
DeleteHi Sandra, glad you and the family are having a lovely holiday.
DeleteSounds lovely and relaxing Sandra. It is a shame we're so far away from each other. I can just see us in a kayak together ha ha. Enjoy another lovely day.
DeleteValxx
Sound like you all having a lovely time. Kayaking sound fun. Have a marvellous time xx
DeleteHi SANDRA
DeleteGlad Paul enjoyed his birthday & kayaking with the girls did you have a go haha. I woulde't go on it either. Sounds like your haveing a lovely relaxing time. Have you got some nice friendly people near you.
It's Lovely hearing from you my lovely enjoy your eavening love Lynda xxx
Hello All, dull here today.
ReplyDeleteSandra and family hope you are having a fabulous holiday.
Anne beautiful card, love that central die.
Hair dresser comming this morning, so in a bit of a rush.
Have a great day ladies, I'll be back later hopefully.
Hugs, Lilian
Hi Lilian. I hope the skies clear for you, it is a bit overcast here too, at the moment : ( Sit back and relax while having your hair done. I find it so relaxing when mine is being done that I could happily nod off. Have a good day x
Deleteoh me too, I love having it washed and then they give you a head massage, bliss.
DeleteHope you like the hairdo and not too much mess, have a nice day Lilian xx
Hi Lilian, can confirm that Sandra et al are looking well and have
Deletesettled on the camp site, we beat them here by a week. Looking forward to catching up with Sandra over a cool glass of something!!!!
and swapping crafting news. Xx
Good morning Ladies , sorry I didn't manage back last night to comment I did mean to , thank you all so much for liking the bird card, I don't have the dies as if you stamp the bird on your card and then stamp another one ( cutting off the top twirly bits and the legs ) makes cutting out so easy then just stick on top of the first image ( hope that makes sense?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the golf but was shattered afterwards and went to bed for a sleep ( not used to this heat ha ha ) got all the washing dry and folded ( not ironed yet) and then decided Tollie needed trimming , I've never attempted this before , his coat looked too thick and long for the hot weather so now he looks like a moth eaten wee rogue! He was very good but it needs a bit more tidying up , maybe later.
Today's card was a really easy one to make as the die does all that's needed, "Marianne Anja square" I think it's called , but I loved the Anja corner die so much I ordered this one , I think it has been out for quite a while.
Hope your leg feels better today Val , the dryer sounds good Michelle but just so pricey.
Sounds like you had a wonderful day yesterday Sandra, pity the site is so busy but I'm sure you will still enjoy the beach etc.
We have a couple of friends coming for dinner tonight but other than that a lazy day ahead which will be great!
Love and hugs to all xoxo
Hi Anne. Thank you for sharing this beautiful card with us. I love the colour combo, such a pretty set of dies and the ribbon matches so well. It's no wonder you were shattered last night so I'm glad to hear you have a lazy day ahead, you deserve it : ) x
DeleteHi Anne
DeleteEnjoy your lazy day today, and enjoy your dinner with friends this evening.
Just love thecdie. Definitely another one to add to my list I bet Tollie look so good with his shorn coat. Much cooler for him. Have a lovely lazy day and enjoy your meal this evening.xx
DeleteLovely card Anne, gorgeous die and the colour blue.
DeleteTollie already had his first hair cut. He must look even smaller now :-) Have a nice meal tonight xx
Hi ANNE
DeleteYour card today is Stunning I love the die & the colour combo so pretty.hope your day was relaxing. Enjoy your evenig
Love Lynda xx
-Morning Everyone
ReplyDeleteANNE- a beautiful card and what a lucky person who received it. Blue/white/cream are always a winner in my book. Please tell which die you have used.
VAL- hope you get that leg sorted. It sounds nasty and you don't want it getting worse.
MICHELE- is the 'golden' hairdryer one of those that is an 'all in one' dryer with a brush on the end so you only have one thing to hold instead of a brush in one hand and the dryer in the other?
My hairdresser recommended one of these as it's more than difficult now for me to dry my hair in the usual way. I looked at these dryers and bought one from Argos (other outlets are available) for just under £30. They are rather difficult to get used to but it is better than having to use both arms. I'm slowly getting better at using it.
Had a reasonable afternoon yesterday at K&N and all seemed pleased with their efforts though sometimes I really don't think you can win whatever you do. They complain when it difficult and takes a long time to complete the card and yesterday they were surprised that it was so easy and didn't take long as they expected it to be difficult as it was me who had put the packs together. Next time I'll not be doing most of the prep they will have to do it all.
I'm not sure what I'm doing today. I have to unpack my craft bag from yesterday and perhaps I'll have a look at my Seasonal dies and decide which ones I'm using this year. Perhaps!!! It's a no sunshine start to the day here but it's still very warm and humid.
The CAFE doors and windows are all open and the kettle is on the boil so come on in and sit a while. I've replenished the biscuit tins and put a Sunflower on each table for colour and to make you all smile today. Hugs have been despatched to you all. Take care xxxx
Hi Janet. The Cafe looks so inviting, who can resist those happy, bright and cheerful sunflowers : ) You really can't win with your K & N ladies, can you? Like you say next time let them do most of the work. I hope the breaks through for you, it's hard to decide between crafting and enjoying the sun, I suppose we should go for the sun as we don't get so much do we? I must admit I can't sit out in for long now, very different when I was younger.
DeleteHave a lovely day what ever you end up doing x
That should be hope the SUN breaks through for you x
DeleteHi Janet
DeleteIsn't it awful when you do so much preparation for your K & N and all they can do is moan. As you say not so much prep next time.
Hi Janet, it sounds as though you just can't win with your craft group. You've got more patience than me with them. Just got in so a coffee and a biscuit sounds good to me. Xx
DeleteHi Janet, if you make it hard they moan and if you make it too easy they moan. Think you might have to change the name for the group :-) The cafe' looks wonderful and so inviting. A bikkie sound nice xx
DeleteHi JANET what a lot of moaning ladies at K & N I bet you did more than Natter under your breath HaHa. You must have so much patience. Do they just moan when it's your turn.
DeleteHave a good evening my friend love Lynda xx
Hi Sandra & all in cafe,
ReplyDeleteSandra lovely to hear from you & you are settled in, shame it is busier but I am sure you will make the most of it. Glad Paul enjoyed his day. Relax & enjoying. xxxx
Anne your card is beautiful love the colours. Pleased you enjoyed the golf no wonder you were tired when you came home you have been so busy.xxx
Val sounds as if you should have had your leg looked at earlier, hope the nurse can help.xxx
Janet sorry your K&N group didn't appreciate your work, sunflowers look lovely.xxx
Petanque this morning so must get on, good to see you in Sue. Sending hugs to Maria, Lynda & Lorraine & to all who need them love Margaret.xxx
Hope you enjoyed the Petangue this morning and have had a nice day, pretty warm today. Sending you some hugs back xx
DeleteThanks Margaret for the hug's hope Petangue went well sending you some love & Hug's Lynda xx
DeleteHi Sandra and everyone. Glad you all had a lovely day yesterday celebrating Pauls Birthday :-)
ReplyDeleteAnne, I love your card. The colour combo and dies are beautiful :-)
Have a good day everyone. Hugs to all xxx
Hi Sonia. Take care if you out working in this warmer weather. xx
DeleteHi Sandra and all in the Cafe today.
ReplyDeletePAT, I hope you get an answer at the doc's today about just what chronic disease you have. Please let us know as I think we are all waiting to hear. Like you have already said have they got the wrong person? : ) I will email you later to see if we can meet up for a couple of hours tomorrow afternoon. It's so good to hear you are feeling so much better now x
MARIA, I do hope you are feeling a little better today and that you can get plenty of rest until you are back to normal, or as normal as it is possible to be ha ha : ) x
LYNDA, let's hope they don't cancel another appointment. How is the toe feeling today? And how is little Bambi? You will soon get used to using your stick and then you will wonder why you didn't get one sooner. The good thing about using one is that you can keep Terry in line by threatening him with it. I'm only teasing Terry, we all know how lovely you are really : ) Oh, the other thing I meant to ask you Lynda is can we see the backgrounds you have made with your pixie powders. It sounds like you get on really well with them. You need to give me some hints, please x
LORRAINE, I hope you managed to get some sleep last night and are feeling a little better each day x
I hope everyone has a good day, whatever you all do. I have some cards to make, including Phoebe's 7th birthday card! Where does the time go? Sending love and hugs with extras for Maria, Lynda, Lorraine and all in need. Take care xx
Hi Sue
DeleteYes just got back from the doctor saw the nurse about my toe all she did was look at it & put a plaster on it & said it's still a bit red so keep it covered when I go out as it might rub when walking i nealy hit her with my stick haha. I will take some pictures of my backgrounds they will look better when I have trimmed them.
Thank you for all the Hug's Love Lynda xx
Hi VAL. Sorry I forgot to say that I hope you get on well at the doc's about your leg. It sounds like you need something a bit stronger to sort it out. Take care x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, hope you feeling more yourself too (whatever that can be) hihi I'll be ok the day I leave this earth but not ready for that yet. Hope you and Pat can have a meet up tomorrow. Take care xx
DeleteMARIA please don't you dare leave this earth for a very long time
DeleteWe all love you. Hope your a bit better today.
Big Hug's Love Lynda xx
Hi Sandra
ReplyDeleteI hope your having a lovely relaxing holiday and that you enjoyed your special dinner last night.
Anne I simply love this card, and would you believe I actually have this die. But I haven't used the heart. Must get this one out and have a play. Must say I like the blur and cream combination. Drs this afternoon for my check up. It should be interesting.
We all waiting to hear what they have to say.
DeleteGlad you feeling better and no more pain. Take care and good luck at the doctors xx
Hi Pat I hope doctors went ok & it was all good
DeleteTake care my friend xxx
Hi everyone, back home. The solicitor took longer than I thought as we had to go to th Notary to sign my new will but all done, I can tick another thing off the list. I then went to see the nurse but he wouldn't touch it and wants me to see the doctor for maybe anti biotics. By the time I got there the doctor had finished his surgery so I have an appointment for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHope everything goes well at the doctors today Pat.
Lynda hope the toe is feeling a lot easier. How is Bambi doing now?
Maria, sorry your not feeling so good at the moment. Do hope today finds you feeling a lot better.
How are you feeling today Lorraine? Somewhat better I hope.
Have a good day everyone.
Love Valxxx
Hi Val
DeleteWish I could get Pete to do his will. He's working on the assumption he can take it with him. My friends husband said he was taking all his with him. Barbara said ok, I'll give you a cheque. Don't think Morris thought it through as he said that's ok.
It's such a relief to get these things sorted. Now you can get on and enjoy life.
DeleteI don't think some people think things through, your have worked hard for what you have and if you don't bother to make a will it could be split around family you never see, who have never taken any interest in you life or well being. ........ SORRY Soap box back under the table. xx
Hi Val glad your nurse is sending you to the doctor for antibiotics
DeleteGlad all went well with solicitor this morning.
My nurse just looked at my toe & just said keep it covered when you put shoes on as it might rub.mmm!!! Bambi is doing ok I think she is loving all the attention,she has had a bit of company for last few days as we are looking after a scotty dog. So I'm sure she will be fine now thank you. Love Lynda xx
Hi Sandra
ReplyDeleteWell, as I suspected I don't have a chronic disease to worry about. Just a blood pressure test. I suggested they call these sort of tests something else as I wouldn't call it a chronic disease. Everything ok anyway. Had a blood test to check my Sodium as per the request from the hospital. Just took a couple of minutes, everyone must be on holiday as the surgery and the car park was empty.
oops we went around eachother there. :-) so good you are alright and that's done but silly name for the department. Have a rest and a nice evening xx
DeletePat Thank goodness you haven't got anything chronic!!!! xx
DeleteHi Pat glad you haven't got anything Chronic going on they do frighten the life out of you with the names for departments. They could have said can you come for a blood test. Love Lynda xx
DeleteHello Sandra and everyone in the Coffee Shop,
ReplyDeleteSounds like everyone enjoyed Paul's birthday, and it must be especially nice for you to see him starting to relax. It was lovely you managed to pop in this morning, but remember you are on holiday - I promise we will all look after the Cafe. LOL
Anne, I love your card what a lovely shade of blue you have used. I have this die it is one of those great dies that can work for almost any occasion. Thank you for sharing. xx
Pat hope all goes well at the doctors. xx
Val, sorry you were not able to see the Doctor today. Hope all goes well tomorrow. xx
Maria, I hope you are feeling better today. Sending a special (((((hug))))) xx
Lorraine, hope you continue to improve with each new day. xx
Lynda, How are you? Have you decorated that stick yet? xx
Well must make a move, take care everyone.
Love and hugs, Brenda xxx
Hi Brenda I'm ok thank you my toe was looked at by the nurse tonight & she just put a plaster on it & said just cover it when I put shoes on as might rub. She Said did I want to go back next week to have it dressed
DeleteWell I said no I can manage to put a plaster on. :-))
Love Lynda xx
Hi Sandra and all. well it sound like you have a great time and the holiday have started fine. Hope it doesn't get too crowded on the beach. Promise to hold on to your rings this time !
ReplyDeleteHave comment on the way down but must say again that I love the card Anne. Don't know how you managed to play golf or maybe it's not so hot where you are.
Not much sleep last night so phoned the doc. have to call back tomorrow 8am and then wait in cue for a long time and listening to some horrid music. Did walk to Ikea and back and then this pm haven't done much at all just going to start on dinner. Love and hugs to you all, Maria xxx
Hi MARIA I'm pleased your getting appointment for doctors. I agree with you the music they play while you hold on is terrible. Glad you managed your walk
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well at doctors. Love & Big Hug's Lynda xxx
Hi SANDRA & everyone I have commented on way down such a long way.
ReplyDeleteJust a quick one have to dish up dinner hope your day was good Sandra enjoy your evening.
I will try & pop in later love Lynda xx
Nearly forgot to comment today.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, I have improved very slightly so hope this is the start of getting better. I hope you are feeling better today Myra.
Glad all was well at the Dr's Pat.
