Some Amazing Christmas cards




Good Morning Ladies
I was so relieved at the outcome of Michele's day yesterday, so nice to see for once that common sense prevailed and the ridiculous situation was seen for what it was, absolute nonsense!  You can now get on and enjoy your Christmas my lovely.
I hope you enjoyed your celebratory dinner out last night too.

I get great pleasure sharing the beautiful  Christmas  cards you have all sent to me, receiving your cards is such a huge reward.
Todays cards are from Brenda (1st card) and Maria (2nd card).
Brenda's card is sparkling away at the feet of our Willow Snowman, his lights are reflecting in both the silver glitter card in the background and the Beautiful blue of the snowflakes. I absolutely love my card Brenda thank you xxx
Maria's card features an amazing die cut Robin sat on a Pine branch complete with pine cone. Maria has added a beautiful detailed border on her card and finished her card with a pretty Sue Wilson Poinsettia die cut, such a stunning card, i absolutely love it thank you xxx

The house viewing wasn't as good as we hoped, the must have used some clever camera tricks as the bedrooms were tiny, by tiny i mean that one of the bedrooms you couldn't even fit a cotbed in let alone a single bed.  At almost £1,500 a month i expected bedrooms that actually fit beds in!
So the search continues.......

Have a lovely day however you are spending it.

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra

  1. Morning Ladies two beautiful Christmas cards on show today, they’re both lovely.

    I enjoyed my Fish & Chips last night, couldn’t eat everything but it was nice to go out & actually enjoy something!

    I’m so looking forward to going into work this morning with a huge smile on my face!!!!!!!!!!

    Sandra-what a shame about the house & the creative description from the Estate Agents.

    3. Hi Michele
      I hope you had a nice day at work today. A great weight off of your mind and you can at last enjoy Christmas. It was disgraceful how long they made you wait for a hearing. Hope they do sort your line manager out.

  2. Hi Sandra and all in the Café today.
    I agree with every word Sandra has said Michele. I bet your (genuine) work mates will be wearing big smiles too but not as big as the one you will be wearing. Enjoy work today 😁 x
    I am lucky that I get to see both of these gorgeous cards "in the flesh" and both really are beautiful as they look. My cards from both Brenda and Maria are just as beautiful. I do like a bit of sparkle at Christmas 😊X
    Sandra, I am so sorry that the house viewing was a disappointment, I was thinking of you all night 😞 Why are estate agents allowed to use such misleading wide angle lens photos? There should be laws to stop them doing that!!! My fingers and toes continue to be crossed tightly as your search continues my lovely xx
    Have a good day everyone. Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for Lilian and all in need. Take care xx

  3. Morning Everyone
    MICHELE- it has made my day to see your comment last evening. You can now RELAX and ENJOY everything you do. It's also good to know that common sense is still around. Thank you for your beautiful card.

    SANDRA- two beautiful cards and I can just imagine all the twinkling you have around. I'm so sorry that the house viewing didn't go well. There has to be a house just waiting for you.

    I'm off to do my last shopping before Christmas this morning so wish me well entering M&S food hall. If I don't comment tomorrow morning please send a rescue party.lol

    The CAFE is OPEN and we have all seasonal goodies just waiting for you.
    HUGS are on their way to you all with loads of extras to keep you all going.xxxx

  6. Hi everyone,
    Two lovely cards Sandra. No wonder you're DELIGHTED with them. Sorry your house viewing was a disappointment last night. I'm sure there's a lovely house just waiting for you. hugsxxx
    Many thanks BRENDA and MARIA for your lovely cards which have just been delivered.xx
    MICHELE bet you went into work with a big beam on your face this morning. So pleased for you.xx
    Just had coffee with my friend Pippa and exchanged cards and gifts. There was a lovely atmosphere in the bar. Christmas is definitely a magical time no matter how old you are.
    I'm learning the basics of quilling at the moment as after Christmas Wendy and I are going to a 10 week class to do quilling and eventually make a framed picture. I thought if I practiced the basic shapes I'd have an bit of an advantage. So that's this afternoon taken care of.
    Have a lovely rest of the day .
    See you tomorrow.
    Love Valxxx

    4. Hi Val

  7. Hi Sandra and all in the cafe' today
    Shame the house wasn't the right one but like Sue saying, everything crossed for you to find something suitable soon. Glad you liked the card (making cc's helped a lot)
    Card you got from Brenda is lovely !
    Had a trip to Tesco this morning and it wasn't too bad except for all the home shopping trolley's parked everywhere, they can be a bit annoying. Finished the neighbours cards so will deliver them tonight and two of them are my cc so will send them now to Sandra. Hope they are ok for it.
    Hope you day have been ok. Many hugs to you all and extras for anyone who need some, Maria xxox

      You did make me chuckle when you said you didn't like the cold, and your going to Zell Um Zee on holiday.

    3. Oh I know Pat tihi but the cold there is nothing like the one in the UK and I don't think it will be so cold as this year was. I'll be home for Christmas Lynda but we going away for a week to Zell am See in January. Struggling a bit just now so taking one day at time. Have not been for our walks for ages, just going out for coffee once a day so nor being stuck at home. Happy there are some lovely Christmas movies on tv at the moment.I like the little romantic ones and also Happy Feet and other Disney. I'm still a kid at heart even if the body disagree :-p Hope you both alright, hugs xxx

  9. Hello All,

    Two lovely cards Sandra, I have loved all of the beautiful cards you my dear friends have sent me.

    Tomorrow I get to see the cardiologist after waiting 9months I’m hoping he will do something to get my heart back on track, not much faith but still must hope.

    Sandra sorry you house feeling wasn’t successful, I agree the descriptions estate agents give can be most misleading, I’m sure something good will come along soon.

    Dinners ready so I’d better go, hugs to all Lilian

    1. Hi Lilian
      I do hope the cardiologist can sort you out tomorrow. Not to sure why it's taking so long for them to find out what the problem is. It's the worrying about it as well that doesn't help either. Fingers crossed for you.

      Delete
    2. Will be with you tomorrow Lilian and hold your hand. Hope they can tell what's what and help you if anything is wrong. We are here for you xxx

  10. Hi Sandra
    Two lovely Christmas cards today.
    Lovely to see you today. Such a shame that the house you saw yesterday wasn't any good. Such a shame the one we saw on Woodstock Rd was already let. Shame they didn't take it off the website. Hopefully something will come along soon and not to far away,
