Good Wednesday Morning Ladies,
Hello from a very wet & wild Gloucestershire!! Our day out yesterday was somewhat hampered by the weather so we didn't get to have a walk around Cirencester. Hobbycraft was a little disappointing, the lady at the till said that all of the machines and more expensive items were removed from the store before the sale started, I mean I wasn't expecting to see Cricuts at 50% off, but I was hoping to see more than was there, a lot of the items that had the biggest discount (40 or 50 %) weren't things we'd use, they had cosmic shimmer coloured glues, which haven't been current for years, most of which I already have from way over 8 years ago! They were no decent quality stamps, they had wooden block stamps that were very dated, they were 40% off. Sewing threads were 40% off, so I got a couple of those, also Polychromo pencils were 50% off so I picked a couple of different colours up, most things I would have looked at were only 20% off and even with that discount they were cheaper online. Interestingly I thought there would be Crafters Companion stuff as they have helped them out financially but there was nothing. Lucy was hoping to get some Vinyl for her Cricut but even with 20% discount they were still much cheaper on the Internet. We went to a few other shops on the trading estate nearby, got some holiday toiletries and medical bits. We got home at around 4 30pm, I was ready for a cuppa and a sit down.
I started a card but didn't have the energy to finish it, you know when you want to make something but it just doesn't go right, well that was me yesterday, at 6.30pm I gave up and will finish the card today.
I had picked a Color Cube card that had shades of pink and green, so I stuck with that colour theme and found some older cards, which would work well with creating cards to match the color cube cards. They go back to 2017!
I hope that you all have a good day today
Love & hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx

Hi Sandra and all looking in. Lovely looking back at your beautiful cards. Such a classic colour combo that just never dates does it. I hope you’re not too wiped out today with your girls wedding planning lunch. Shame that there wasn’t much in Hobbycraft for you or Lucy my lovely xx

Hi, cloudy this morning but the sun came out this afternoon, although quite windy, it was quite warm.
ReplyDeletePlanted 4 pots of freesias today. Hoping they will flower in the late summer, just love the smell.
Love seeing your older cards, they are beautiful.
Hope you have recovered from your shopping trip.
Have a good evening. Lilian
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards, haven't aged at all. Very nice.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Hadea lovely day even if the weather here was absolutely a wash out and we were soaked a few times. It was a bit better today but extremely windy, managed tho to have a walk out on the pier and have an ice-cream as you must do when being beside the seaside.
Hope you had a nice day everyone. Hugs Maria xx
