Gina's Awesome Anniversary card


 


 

Good Friday Morning Ladies,  

A somewhat quieter day for me yesterday,  which I desperately needed,  my poor legs were so painful after two busy days with Lucy.   

Today's reminder couldn't be more perfect, this 100% applies to me today 🤣

Soph came home early yesterday morning, came bounding in my room, threw open the curtains declaring that we 'seize the day',  I said I need a good 45 minutes to get up and going,   (this was before 8am),  she went and laid on her bed for '5 minutes' but I didn't see her for 2 hours, by which time I was up, had breakfast and was busy crafting when she said "come on lets go and get some lunch and pop to Tesco", we ended up having a loved walk (well ride for me ) around Stow On the Wold,  we were puzzled that most of the shops were closed and there were quite a few parking spaces,  which is unheard of.   It was funny that most shops (which are mostly tourist gift shops) were mostly closed for refurbishment!   Then the penny dropped.... it has been Stow Fair week,  where hundreds of Travellers,  Gypsies etc descend on Stow for their Annual Horse Fair,  a lot of pubs were boarded up too,  due to history of violent behaviour.  I don't suppose the Traveller community were fussed about Stow's tourist shops though.  

Today I am sharing Our Gina's Anniversary card,  what an incredible fancy fold card !! 

Gina's Description:




I bet the person that asked you to create this very special card was over the moon with it.  Look at you generating your own background papers!! You are way more tech savvy than I am 🤣

Thank you so much for sharing it with us,  I hope you are both on the mend XXX

I hope that you all have a good day, 

Love and hugs to all of you, 

Sandra xxx

  2. Lovely card Gina, the person who asked you to make it for them must have been very pleased with the results, you couldn’t get anything so special over the counter, I hope you were pleased with the finished card, you certainly should be.
    Hope you enjoyed your trip to Tesco, even though most of Stow was boarded up! Your girls are so thoughtful getting you out and about when Paul is working, and nice to have one to one time with them.
    Had a trip to the INR clinic this morning, my reading is still to low even though I have been eating more greens, I was told not to increase them anymore and see how they are next week. Fingers crossed.
    John went to the local post office sorting depot to pick up a letter that the sender hadn’t put any stamps on, the charge was £5.00 It was from St Christophers Hospital, now do I ask them to reimburse me or would I be robbing the NHS?
    Hope your all having a good day and looking forward to the weekend, Love Brenda xxx

    1. Ask for the money back Brenda. How could it be £5 anyway, that sounds a lot ?

  3. Hi everyone
    A fabulous anniversary card Gina. I love the older couple on the back and have been looking for the stamp but not found it yet.
    Wishing you better x
    Sue, hoping that Chris is doing better soon as well and that you are alright x
    Karen, have fun with Oscar. What do you usually do together ?
    Blooming weather have really changed hasn't it but good you managed to get out Sandra for an airing. We took ourselves over to Bell's plantation garden centre and also Bon marche, where I bought some sun dresses and then to Paver's for shoes, I got a pair of their own make of slip ons. Great when you don't have to bend over and do shoelaces 😉
    Hope you had a good day everyone and Brenda hope you are not in too much pain. Take care and many hugs to you all , Maria xxx
