Good Morning Friends,
I hope that you are all well, it was a little cooler here yesterday with the wind being a little stronger, with windows open on both sides of the house there was a lovely refreshing breeze thankfully, I really struggle with the humidity, I find it so much harder to walk and move about, as it takes too much effort, which starts my heart racing and then i'm done but I guess a lot of you are in the same position, we shouldn't complain really, I do love the sunshine as long as it comes with a bit of a breeze, its not so bad if you are by the coast. We have a lot higher temperatures than this on holiday but by the sea its so much more bearable, having said that you don't 'have' to do anything on holiday so it's not so bad.
Luckily we have Air Conditioning this time, which will be very welcome.
Today's card is a Thank You card that I received from Lynda last week, it came with an absolutely stunning altered Frame that I had featured on my Blog 2 weeks ago. The card is amazing, with a lovely distressed background and a red and blue colour theme. Butterflies just make you smile whenever you see them and this card certainly did this, I will turn that sentiment back to you Lynda, this card made me very happy, as do our late night conversations!
Receiving cards like this really make you realise how blessed we are to have such an amazing group of friends here is out little cafe!
Thank you Lynda for both the Stunning Frame that has pride of place in my Craft Room and the fab card with the lovely, touching message inside. xxx
It was so lovely to See Sue yesterday, it feels like forever since we crafted together, after a lovely catch up and lunch we did what we like to do and tackled a tricky fold Card, this time it was a Never Ending Card, it was like de ja vue as we were following some really poorly illustrated instructions, but our joint experience had the job solved on no time! Watch this space for the results....!
I have to say Sue was my Saviour yesterday, we were having a discussion about Apps and I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the one we were both talking about, so I went to get my phone to get the answer, as I walked through the hallway to the lounge I noticed Milo sitting by the lounge door, I then looked down to see that he was proudly guarding a animal of some description, OMG, I shrieked, almost giving Sue a heart attack! I shot into the kitchen and closed the door, leaving Sue wondering what on earth was going on! She then saw what had caused my reaction, took a piece of kitchen roll and calming picked up the little Shrew and put it out in the hedge!
Sue you are my Hero!! XXX
After such an exciting day I was ready for bed by about 9pm!
Hoping for a calmer day today,
I hope you all have a lovely calm day too,
Love and Hugs to all of you,
Sandra

Morning Everyone
ReplyDeleteWee had a better day yesterday in the morning that is. We had a thunder and hailstone mid morning but by after lunch the sun was back and it was so humid neither of us did a thing.
We also had a visitor yesterday morning. I went to go into the veranda to find a lizard sat at the bottom of the step. We do have a lot of them around but very rarely do they come indoors. Anyway as I stepped down her scampered behind a small set of drawers we have in there. We decided to leave him alone and not start pulling the set of drawers out so I suppose he had a little rest and then left us.
LYNDA- a lovely card you sent to SANDRA.
Once again I'm not sure what's happening today but something will turn up.
Have a good day everyone and stay safe. HUGS are winging their way to you all.xxxx
Hi Janet
DeleteSeems to be catching this having visitors doesn’t it. I hope your visitor made it outside.
Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Lynda, it’s really beautiful.
Sandra-your holiday sounds perfect, I’ll bet you can’t wait.
Yesterday was crazy busy, I only went for my lunch at 13:45. I spent all my lunch break arranging for a Chair assessment-managed to secure a booking for today then my M in L said a different day would be better so I emailed the company & luckily they still had an appointment free on Thursday morning!
Today is our annual Audit which is always stressful-there will be 2 Auditors arriving at 9:15 who will probably stay all day!! I think I’ll need a glass of wine tonight.
Michele
Good luck with the audit Michele. Hope MIL was grateful for all the arranging you've been doing!!
DeleteEnjoy that wine tonightx
Hi Michele. I hope the audit goes well. Hope blogger lets me publish before.
DeleteMorning everyone.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card LYNDA and what a lovely sentiment.
SANDRA bet you can't wait for your holiday to come around. All that sea air will do you such a lot of good x
Well I'm pleased to report the Air Con man arrived yesterday and after an expensive 2 hours we're cool again. We need it - the thermometer on my porch topped 40 yesterday.
My temperature certainly went up last night watching the England match. I must admit I was sceptical but so so pleased for them. Its a shame Spain went out but there have been a lot of surprises in this world cup.
Off to play crib this afternoon but some ironing first then hopefully I can get my cc done in my 'back to normal' craft room.
Have a good day everyone. Hugs are winging their way to those not feeling too good today.x
Love Valx
Hello ladies
ReplyDeleteOMG SANDRA! First frogs now shrews! I’d have reacted the exact same way as you!
LILLIAN I do hope you’re feeling better today
Well the football was a bit exciting eventually wasn’t it I thought it was going to end in a massive brawl after watching the first half I looked after OSCAR so that daughter could go to pub with her fiancé and dad It was strange to watch because both daughter and I had Columbia in sweepstakes
Went to Hobbycraft yesterday and bought a load of (boring) things ie card blanks mainly Today is going to be my favourite kind of day Just pottering about - crafting when I want to and catching up on a bit of tele OH will be “cooking” in the garden
Take care all xxx
Should have said (my brain is working quicker than my fingers!) I thought I’d said about LYND’s card and I hadn’t - very pretty and of course with a beautiful butterfly
DeleteMorning everyone
ReplyDeletelovely card from Lynda, the background is great and of course a pretty butterfly :>)
Lilian- hope you feeling a bit better today,many hugs.
Sandra - think you have to have a word with your cats about bringing home these little animals, flowers or chocolate sure would be nicer Lol Will you be away for your Birthday in Spain ?
Val- glad your air con man arrived so you now get some cooler place to be. Hope you ok.
It feels a bit cooler here today so hope to get some cards made and finish my book sitting in the garden (920 pages)
Wishing you all a lovely day whatever you do, hugs xxxx
Hi Sandra & all in café,
ReplyDeleteSandra so glad Sue was there when Milo brought the shrew in, having been brought up in the country does have it's advantages. What a lovely card from Lynda it is beautiful.xxx
Karen when I take my cakes out, I rarely make anything other than my fruit or lemon coconut cake, so plastic boxes suit. Hope you enjoy your time doing what you feel like.xxx
It is cooler this morning for which I am grateful.
The café is open waiting for you all to call in & enjoy sitting in the shade.
Lilian hope you can breathe easier today.xxx
Maria hope you got news of Mum & Dad.xxx
Sending hugs to all who need them love Margaret.xxx
Hello Sandra and ladies,
ReplyDeleteSo pleased Sue made it yesterday, you girls must have had a lot of chatting to catch up on. Please she was there to save your life from the Shrew!!! Milo really is a pickle though, he must be finding his new home really exciting, so many new gifts to bring home. Maybe you could suggest to him he leaves his gifts on the door step. Seriously - I hope you are alright after such a shock. xx
LYNDA. what a beautiful card, the background is gorgeous and the ‘signature’ butterfly sits beautifully on top of it. xx
VAL Great you have the Air Con sorted our. xx
JANET Hope you have seen the last of your visitor! Well inside the house that is.xx
MARGARET Hope all is well with you. xx
MARIA Have you heard from your sister about Mum and Dad? xx
MICHELE Best of luck with the audit. Hope the wine is in the chiller waiting for you to come home! xx
Have a good day everyone, Love Brenda xxx
HelloAll, hurrah rain at last, not enough but it’s so much cooler, went to bed last night with all of velux windows open as no rain was forecast, have a slightly damp carpet this morning, that’s the only trouble with dorma bedroom.
ReplyDeleteLynda lovely card again, you have a great talent for your art.
Sandra sorry you had an unexpected visitor again, the worst thing our cat bought in was a lizard, which promptly lost its tail, cat was quite confused.
I don’t normally watch the football, but it was very exciting if a bit tense. Good luck England.
Well it’s an afternoon watching the tennis, but might try and make my c card if it’s not too hot. Hope all have a good rest of the day, hugs Lilian
Good afternoon Sandra & Ladies

Hi Lynda
ReplyDeleteA great thank you card. I’m quite cross that once again a birthday card I posted at the beg of last week didn’t arrive at your end.
Sandra I hope the appointment that you went to with Becca was ok, and that you managed to get another appointment for Lucy.
Unless hospital calls I’ll hopefully see you next week.
You certainly had an eventful day with Sue yesterday. Hope you don’t get any presents today.
Our new sofas are arriving on the 19th July. Seems an age since I ordered them. All I need now are new cushions ( which I’ve ordered ) and new curtains.
Hopefully this will publish.
