Good Monday Morning Ladies,
Welcome to the start of a new week, I hope that you all had a lovely weekend, it's so lovely having this bonus day off with Paul, we may go out for a while today as we haven't left the house since food shopping Friday, mind you we are slap bang in between Burford & Bourton on Water which are two mega busy Cotswold tourist attractions, so going anywhere will mean sitting in lots of traffic, living somewhere so beautiful has its drawbacks!
I really struggled to get around yesterday, my hips and knees were so incredibly painful, all I could do was shuffle as I physically couldn't lift my legs to walk, I really didn't want to let it stop me though, we sat outside on the deck for an hour or two, Paul bought me some herbs that needed potting on, which I could do sitting down, so I did that, I had to go in to use the bathroom and that was me done, I just couldn't get outside any more. I did my best to help Paul do the roast lamb dinner, I prepared and cooked the lamb and made cheese sauce for the cauliflower, Paul is the roast king though so he managed the rest.
He also did a treasure hunt for the girls Easter Chocolate, he used to do it every year when they were little, he draws a the clues, leading all over the house to where the Chocolate is waiting, I haven't heard them laugh and giggle so much in ages, there was a couple of dodgy drawings that had them confused but they worked it out in the end.
I couldn't summon the energy to create a card for today, I am sorry, I always feel like I am letting you down when this happens. Anyway I searched through my archives to 2021 I think and found some colour blended cards that might inspire you, the first two are Alcohol inks, the second two are oxides.
I hope that you all have a great start to the week,
Love and hugs to all of you

It is lovely to see your throwback cards And never apologise or feel you are letting us down I don’t know how you manage to create so many anyway Your weekend sounded lovely anyway
ReplyDeleteSeeing the grandkids was my favourite part of the weekend Daughter accepted quite a substantial donation from the Salsa venue which will help Oscar’s school no end
It’s a bit wet and miserable here so we won’t be venturing far
Take care everyone xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteYour throwback cards are wonderful and I love the alcohol ink ones a lot. Never think that you are letting us down. I love seeing the old ones that you have made over the years.
I felt the same tho when I didn't make a card for Sunday but my mind is on so many things so I haven't done any card making for ages. I have done some crystal ones instead as I'm sitting doing them when OH watching the football.
Your weekend sounded nice and so is Karen's, it must have been lovely to see the boys.
It's raining so no walk, we ended up in Dobbies instead. Didn't buy any plants, as it's so close we go back a sunnier day.
Brenda, how's your sister doing ? Hoping that John is alright ? Take care.,
Have a good day as possible ladies, take care. Hugs, Maria xxx
Hi everyone, it’s sunny, but a very cold wind.
ReplyDeleteNever feel bad about not having a card to show us, we are just so grateful to read about your everyday life, so much more interesting than mine. Your throw back cards are great.
Now you are making your lovely sour dough bread do you find yourself eating more bread, I’m sure I would.
Have found some unusual blends to try this week if my back improves.
Enjoy the last day of Easter. Lilian
Hello Sandra and everyone
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn’t get in yesterday. I did think of you and hope you had a lovely Easter Sunday. We went to our younger daughters, our other daughter husband two grandsons and the eldest grandson‘s partner all joined us. We were 13 in total. It was lovely we even managed to fit in some family games between lunch and dinner, all in all. It was a lovely day.
My sister said she is fine, sometimes i think she says she is as she doesn’t want to draw attention to herself. but I do know her nurse at home do keep an eye on her.
Love all of these throwback cards. Never apologise for showing us something like this. They are always so inspiring. Thank you my lovely. XXX
I hope today you have been in less pain than you were yesterday. It’s so miserable the pain you get from your hips and knees and it just goes through your whole body, yes somehow you always seem to cope and are a wonderful example to all of us just to make the most of what we have.
Good night my lovely, God bless.
Will check again tomorrow, love and hugs Brenda XXX
