Iiitttt's Christmas Challenge time

 









Good Friday Morning Ladies, 

Well, I will definitely be glad to see the back of this week !!  I was laughing with Lucy on Wednesday saying that we were lucky that we were invincible!  I was saying that if anyone would have caught it from Paul it should have been me not Soph!!  I felt unwell on Wednesday but tested negative, this was before lucy and I went out.  Yesterday I was messaging Sonia saying how 'humid/muggy' it was and she disagreed, saying the wind was cooler, I replied saying that I was sweating,  she replied "maybe you have covid", so I took a test and yes I tested positive, 5 days after Paul it got me, by bedtime I did feel rough, I think any flu like symptoms exacerbate your ongoing problems!         I am just hoping I don't get as poorly Paul and Soph did.  Poor Lucy says she's not got a chance,  I did remind her that she had it worse than anyone last October,  she was bedridden for a week bless her, so I said I reckon you have better antibodies! 

Our Next Challenge 

Well we had to start sometime 🤣😂, so for this next week or two our Challenge will be to make Christmas cards, any style, using anything you like, we have all used just about everything to make our Christmas cards over the years.  Maybe if we are posting our Christmas cards we should just use stamps, keep them simple.  I find that hard sometimes,  especially if its a card for special friends, you want to make your cards special too.  Maybe consider batch making your cards, particularly if you have lots to make.  I have you lovely friends to make for, family and our neighbours, so I need to get started. 

So dust off those Christmas stamps, dies and don't forget those embossing folders!! 

I hope that you enjoy the challenge x

Have a lovely Friday, 

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra xxx

  3. Evening, cloudy most of the day, but nice evening sun now.

    Had a telephone appointment with the Dr from the muscular skeletal department. Nothing they can do for my legs and back, I’m on the strongest pain killers , I’m allowed with my heart condition. He said I should be walking and doing exercises, but as I told him the pain is far too bad, not that he took any notice. Made an appointment with someone called Doris, not sure what she will do. Feeling rather depressed. Was hoping for some help.
    I’ve been trying to make the card Sandra showed us on Saturday, but can’t make the pop up work, keeps catching on the embossing.

    Have a good evening everyone, Lilian

    1. Hello Sandra and everyone,
      Lovely display of cards most of us will recognise, thank you for giving them another life.xx
      Sandra sorry to hear that you have also got Covid. I hope it doesn’t get any worse, you have enough to cope with on a daily basis. Please don’t push yourself too much and be sure to rest as much as you can. xx
      I haven’t achieved anything much today, every time I sat down I fell asleep, yet I had slept well last night. It might be the pain relief tablets I have been prescribed for my back pain that is causing me to nod off.
      Lilian sorry to hear you are in such pain, I hope ‘Doris’ will be helpful and get you the help you need. xx
      I’m off to bed now, sleep well dear friends.
      Big hugs Brenda xxx
