I would like to thank you all even more this week for crafting in the extreme heat, you are all so amazingly supportive, I am so very grateful.

Just a quick update...today was ok, very nerve racking but I did it and I'm glad I did.
I will shAre some photos when I get home.
I am so exhausted and can honestly say that there isn't a part of my body that doesn't hurt, probably because I was holding myself so tense with nerves all  day.
Thanks so much for pushing me to go XXX 

I'm having to blog on my phone so I hope j haven't missed anyone.  

Love and hugs

Sandra

    A beautiful set of ART this morning on the display board.
    Each one using totally different dies and so many beautiful colour waves.

    We had a much cooler day yesterday 28 top temp and so much better to craft in. I even managed to start a WA card which will be needed soon for my Daughter and SIL.

    The sun is shining with a few wispy white clouds so perhaps we'll have another crafting day YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Have a good day SANDRA and a safe journey home this evening.

    The CAFE sign says OPEN so pop in and have a look at this week's CCs and sit a while with a cooling drink.
    HUGS should be arriving just about now for you all. xxxx

      As usual a lovely card. I have these dies, but as with all dies I don't use them very much any more. Could you please arrange for Marigny Debbie to vring some of your sunshine over with him.

    Sandra-YOU DID IT!!!!! Well done.

    Lovely cards, mine was indeed made with magazine freebies-the papers are DoCrafts papermania -called Country something, they're a really good quality linen texture and the strawberry die is the free die I used on last weeks challenge card . For some reason I just couldn't think of anything to make for this challenge but it has been a very busy & trying sort of week.

  4. Me again- Update onthe Car Boot Sale. I took £30 in total but had to pay £10 for the table. It was reasonably busy and I thought that was ok, especially as there was another lady selling cards. I've booked to go next month.

  5. Hi Sandra
    And Ladies
    Well Sandra. Well done you did it. Hopefully the pain from keeping tense doesn't last to long. I know you still get her up when you meet with us, and it's a bit of an anti climax if we don't meet up as expected. However, you did it and that's the main thing.
    Beautiful cards today ladies on display. I must say it never fails to amaze me how each and every one is different each week.
    We might feel off to Mevagissey today or Padstow all depending where the drizzly rain isn't.

  6. Hi everyone.
    I'm proud of you and a bet you're proud of yourself. Have a safe journey home.

    Another bumper week of beautiful cards. I keep using the same colour. Not only is aqua/turquoise my favourite colour but it's the only pixie powders I've got and I just love them. Really must get some other colours.

    I have to do a bit of tidying up, some ironing and then finish the batch of cards I started yesterday. Lynn and Paul are off work today and we were going to go out for lunch but Lynn's been persuaded to cook a roast pork Sunday lunch even though it's a silly temperature here today. She makes wonderful roast potatoes and gravy. My mouth is watering already.

    Maria hope your flight was good and you've arrived in Major ca safely. Enjoy your holiday.x

    Lynda. Are you managing to stay upright over the weekend? X

    Have a good Sunday everyone.
    Love Valxxx

  10. Hello Sandra and everyone,

    I knew you could do it. Just remember when those pesky butterflies churn up your tummy............. just take DEEP SLOW BREATHS. Next time it's going to be so much easer. xxx

    Wow Ladies you have certainly done Sandra proud. Love all of your cards, so much inspiration on the weekly challenge - you are all very gifted. xx

    Maria, hope you managed to get away and are now relaxing by the pool. xx

    Hope everyone is having a good day, love and hugs Brenda XXX

  11. Hi Sandra and all in the Café today.
    I am so glad that you managed to walk in that door yesterday my lovely. I know just how hard it is so I hope those two little voices that sit each shoulder are both telling you how proud you should feel if yourself. I know I am. I hope you have another good day and feel able to relax a little. I hope Paul has enjoyed his relaxing weekend too. Sending you the biggest hugs Xxxx
    Yesterday's garden pictures are all so pretty. Cheryl, Pete's Dragon Tongue Orchid is gorgeous, shame it doesn't flower for longer though x
    Brenda, such a pretty garden. How lovely that you give your tortoise free run , except for in the green house. Please could we see another picture of him too x
    Janet,bits lovely to be able to see just where you and Jim sit in the mornings when you are in Marginy. It looks so calm and relaxing x
    Val, I bet you will soon be having to make more of your beautiful pop up box cards for the shop 😊 I use acetate for the pop up bits and card for the side to side supports x
    Maria, wow, you are so clever. What a shame you can't have these beautiful stitched pieces on show. I hope that you are nearly ready to go and sit by the pool and relax now after a troubled journey. Sending hugs x
    A wonderful display if CC's to greet us all today. Each one is beautiful, thank you for sharing.
    I've been having a having a lazy day but must get on now. Sending love and hugs to you all with special proud supportive ones for Sandra and extras for Lynda, Maria and all in need. Take care xx
