They are beautiful and as has been said - all different ! I wonder what Sandra is thinking of for tomorrow! <br />Beth - your card is lovely! I always wondered who it was that taught Hazel how to make cards!! Ha ha! <br />Tartan paper and card is very popular just now and I bought some tartan ribbon last week too. <br />Will you need all of next week for confessions Sandra? You might if everyone has a big spend at Farnborough! I hope you all have a great time and manage to meet up. <br />Well, I've got After School Club tomorrow so I need to prepare a little. I thought we might try the shaving foam, paper making technique! I may well regret it but we are going to make special books and I thought we could use our hand made paper as one project! <br />XxxxMyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667747125575972770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-42751166581359045062016-02-21T18:37:12.841+00:002016-02-21T18:37:12.841+00:00Love your challenge card :-) xxLove your challenge card :-) xxSonia Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959626260133692438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-3049756814296869562016-02-21T18:34:10.602+00:002016-02-21T18:34:10.602+00:00Have had fun today playing with my inks, sprays, a...Have had fun today playing with my inks, sprays, acrylics, texture paste, stencils etc,etc! Let me know how you get on with the Gesso, Sandra. My local craft shop didn't have any, but suggested I water down acrylic paint, which I did. Seems to have worked well for the project I started today but that was only on watercolour card and board. Haven't tackled canvas yet, but have some ready to have a go on :-)<br />Glad I'm not the only one Brenda, who has so many things wanting to try. Need more 'me' time :-)<br />Hugs xxSonia Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959626260133692438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-84552926315294111982016-02-21T18:18:05.974+00:002016-02-21T18:18:05.974+00:00Me to Val.

Tom had a fall when he was staying with us, and he kept having fits after that. So was unable to come away with us anymore. We visited some other friends and Heather was saying they hadn't been away for awhile. I also casually said why don't you come away with us as we'd booked a caravan. A sun £9.50 one. Well she was bouncing apparently until we saw her the next week, and asked if we really meant it. They've been away with us every year since. Mostly abroad now as caravans are really to small for us now. We gave a whale of a time. Hope you have a lovely time.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-11529958611513119562016-02-21T18:05:00.242+00:002016-02-21T18:05:00.242+00:00Hi Jess

Rather then going to my sister in laws in Bournemouth and driving her in. Last year we went on the 28th ish, and my hip operation was on the 3rd March. How I drove home I'll ever know. My sister in Law won't drive any distant at all. The excuse is that when her daughter was a baby she broke down and didn't know what to do. Mind you that was 40 odd years ago.

Came into craft room at 11:50 last night and thought- what if !!!!! Anyway today have played about with it and it finished at least i can say I have a card in my stock. The unfinished card from the previous week is still sitting on my workbench, think I should make a promise to self to finish it off, or it will end up as yet another PHD!<br /><br />Ladies you have excelled your self - again, I really am impressed with so many inspiring ideas, Beth is a brilliant card maker, Hazel she has learned so much from you and obviously enjoys sharing your crafting skills. I've just thought of a song that's appropriate for you, not sure of the title, One of the lines goes .......<br />I believe that children are our future, <br />teach them well and let them lead the way....... I think Whitney Huston sang it.<br />It just sprang to mind !!!!<br /><br />Must get on and finish dinner off, guess what we are having? Yes I blame Janet, CHICKEN breasts wrapped in streaky bacon, that always goes down well.<br /><br />Hope everyone has had a good day, sending love and crafty hugs, Brenda xxx<br /><br />Brenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-50012186477114960582016-02-21T16:15:48.212+00:002016-02-21T16:15:48.212+00:00Hi again.

My mouth was watering at the thought of a Roast Chicken dinner so I persuaded my daughter Lynn and SIL Paul to go out for Sunday lunch. Not that they needed much persuasion. Anyway I actually had roast beef and then lemon cheesecake -delicious. Feeling pretty full now. A sit down in front of the tele is needed.<br />Hope everyone is back to feeling fit and well.<br />bye<br />Val xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09337876854592699977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-84291275714570533762016-02-21T16:05:29.867+00:002016-02-21T16:05:29.867+00:00Sandra.

It is so lovely being able to see so many beautiful examples of everybodies unquicness that makes them special and even to our young Beth who has produced a design that she should be very proud of as i know one lady who is very proud of her special little girl. A few of these cards are appropriate in this cafe of ours. Anne's because there are a few individuals that are partial to a spot of tipple now and again when Baileys has run out, Jess's as that is exactly what i want to do right now go up, up and away as i am totally knackered from scrubbing the kitchen from top to toe today, so on a well deserved break i reckon. But think Jess' card is very good for our Barbara going back to Germany after her wee stay here on our shores, i hope that you had a good sleep last night flower as it would feel strange being back home and staying in your own bed again with the handsome Peter to cuddle you. Lilian's card is what i have to listen to every morning at dark o'clock just because they have got up with the lark, lol. Janet's card is what i was doing trying to clean those kitchen cabinets this morning and feeling as unsteady as that wee lass looks on top off her books. Val's like her bear i am just wondering what i still have to do yet and Myra's card is what i am sitting down to at this moment, a large latte and recovering from the effort expended today in that kitchen and it is just as well someone noticed otherwise i would have had blood to wipe and clean up as well from the biscuit rolling pin of my Nana Kikke's that would have got whalloped right across his noggin, other than that i'm fine, :)<br />I will be brave one week i promise just not confident yet but i will. My legs are doing the wibbly wobbly dance and all fall down, oh no that was Ring a ring a roses wasn't it that you all fall down on. Well my legs forgot the proper nursery rhyme that went with the all fall down part so i think that will be me for the day as just got the floor to sweep and wash now which i will do later on when no one is going to walk over it. Hope you are all having a good day where ever you are today, the Huggles i have put in their basket where some of them are tugging at the others wellies. Who didn't wrapped their Huggles up for the wet rain today? I will need to go and try and get some more wellies for the others that don't have any now to stop them trying to take the wee ones wellies off them. <br />Love<br />Norah xGlenharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653116596107902711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-85401149253342872612016-02-21T15:40:32.768+00:002016-02-21T15:40:32.768+00:00Hi everyone, I'm back fully charged!!

I really feel for you, I looked after MIL for many years. We said we would never let her go into a home. But she was hospitalised for several weeks and the ward sister insisted she was to much for one person. We found her a lovely home close by, she lived about 18 months before she died, I went to see her everyday, I can only say the time I spent with her when she was in the home was quality time. xxBrenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.com
