Keep smiling and take care.<br />Sending special love and hugs to Barbara and Val always in my prayers.<br />In Cockermouth we have a castle some of which is in ruins but the castle sit on the river edge and most of the land between the ruins and the river has gone so major work is under way to shire up the remaining land and save the ruins. There is even an underground chapel that is at risk at the castle.<br />Take care where ever you are.<br />Margaret xxx<br /><br />Margaret corgi ownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044940577122022288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-66535224032615480822016-01-05T21:33:56.705+00:002016-01-05T21:33:56.705+00:00Ouch Lynda!

Good afternoon no! scrub that ..... afternoon everyone it's certainly FAR from good .... what a day!!<br />Now I know why Noah built his ark, we have asked our neighbour (a joiner) to build us a boat!! We are stuck in every direction out of the village, all roads out are closed. Never mind we have plenty, I phoned round some of my "old ladies) this morning to see if they needed anything. One needed bread another 2 needed milk. John needed petrol, he managed to get through to Coupar Angus before they closed the road. So a few old ladies happy again. <br />The only reason we are in this situation is because of flooded fields NOT because of any "rivers"<br />We have hills all round us and of course the water is running off them down into the valleys.<br />SANDRA:- Congratulation to you girls, well done them.<br />DIANE:- Love your beautiful card, I have some Sparkle Paste never opened the Jars ... I really must have a go soon.<br />I have been busy making cards today. Managed to get 3 birthday and a anniversary one completed. One of my old ladies gave me an order for a card for her Granddaughter. She wants flowers on it and asked if I would have enough time ... she needs it for the 13th January!! I have prepared the flowers, I just need to let them dry and get them made up. <br />Right folks off to get on.<br />BARBARA:- our thoughts and prayers for you Val and all the family <br />Plenty (((((hugs))))) in the basket by the door. xxxPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760759649434363723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-87335136859088992792016-01-05T16:51:43.165+00:002016-01-05T16:51:43.165+00:00Oh Diane that's very kind!

It had been very well watered which I think was the problem as a lot of water coming out. By the time I got back the following Saturday it was dead. I did have my doubts when I took the cellophane off as it was very floppy but couldn't water it anymore. Think it had too much water before I had it. Was very disappointed as if was a large plant.

That much rain our garden is now a big puddle. Harris is so funny as he isn't liking sinking into the mud when he goes out, I am not liking de muddying the paws when he comes in. <br />I have been busy had a baby gift basket order from Patricia to put together, now my baby stock chest of draws are now a mess as I couldn't find what I was looking for, I had changed where things were and could I remember were. <br />Made a card not quite Sandras sketch but my take on it, must send it to her, apart from that I have been lazy. This dark weather does that I am sure. Lights been on again all day. Maria you wouldn't want to go for a walk here that's for sure to have to take detours round the puddles well they are bigger than just puddles that's for sure, full water proofs need to. <br />Diane. Love your card, it's a beautiful colour and yes I bet working with the paste is wonderful, but I wouldn't find it so.

Oh what a s...Hello Sandra and all the lovely ladies<br />Oh what a surprise seeing my card today. I know why it wasn't with the others Sandra, I gave if to you at Ally Pally so it was after the event. I'm glad you like it. I did enjoy playing with the texture paste, you put on loads but take most of it off. <br />Now don't faint ladies, we've had sunshine today - apart from when I went out for a walk when it was that fine drizzle that makes you very damp. All the fences were steaming so it looked really misty out. We were watching the news last night and suddenly up popped the river in Aberdeen opposite where we stayed last year. Emma went for a walk there a couple of days before she came home and took a photo of the little tea hut and the river. The tea hut roof was just visible on the news and the main road in front of the houses was being closed. It's awful isn't it. I hope Patricia and Hazel are ok - I know Patricia had a lot of water around her roads the other day. I know what you mean about your friends being flooded out and not getting insurance, it happened to my friend in Malvern a few years back too. They moved further up the hill in the end - I didn't hear from them at Christmas so I hope they are ok. I've gorgeous a letter to pick up from the post office tomorrow - not enough postage on it so I wonder what that is. <br />Sandra congratulations to the girls on their mock results, that's a good start to the year and will give them the boost that they need. Do they have a prom to go to? Gosh one wax expensive but two! They don't seem the type of girls who need the nails and fake tan though, why some girls cover themselves in fake tan when they have such young skin that has natural glow I have no idea! Mind you I can remember carefully making sure I didn't have strap lines when I was younger then going out, meeting a friends mum and standing chatting to her for about half an hour then getting home to find a bright red back with lovely white strap marks! <br />Right I must go, I'm waiting for the kitchen floor to dry - I'm in need of a cup of tea. See you all later xxxxxxDiane Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007431860077443115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-82344189876097716872016-01-05T15:50:32.230+00:002016-01-05T15:50:32.230+00:00Afternoon ladies,

I used to buy all the ribbons, felt, buttons, threads etc. for the soft toys I used to make many moons ago from her Mother's market stall. We got to chat as one does, and she said her Mum actually started the business 35 years ago and the same customers keep coming back. <br />LOVELY card today Diane, so pretty and sparkly. Love it.<br /><br />Off now to see what I can do about this challenge, have some ideas, hence the visit to the trimmings shop, so let's see what I come up with.<br /> Special thoughts and prayers for Saba, Val & families.<br /><br />Love & hugs<br />Cheryl xxx<br />cheryl brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890543787200668122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-76468838441750231222016-01-05T15:36:39.798+00:002016-01-05T15:36:39.798+00:00Hi Janet, I am ono of those with a dedicated room ...Hi Janet, I am ono of those with a dedicated room and I can honestly say, it is nowhere near as tidy as the first day when I filled all the boxes with my craft supplies and placed them in their shelving unit!
