It is true that the older generation automatically led much greener lives than youngsters today. I was sent a great email a while ago listing lots of ways things were recycled etc. years ago. I will try and find it and send you a copy xMrs Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179962719631818018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-23127364122582640002019-03-06T08:58:23.660+00:002019-03-06T08:58:23.660+00:00Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today.
What a lovel...Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today. <br />What a lovely bright and cheerful card, just what we need on this dull day. I love the shimmer that you get from both the embossing and the mica powders. Thank you for the great tip about using the inside of the lid, that saves wasting any of the powder at all ( I like the way you have the “Tip” in bold lettering) Well done on clearing your desk. Mine has paperwork all over it at the moment after I cleared my crafting things off of it (the shelving above the desk are another story though!) I hope you’re not feeling too bad today. I will see you later on my lovely xx<br />Karen, I was thinking of you yesterday and hope it all went well x<br />Maria, belated Happy Anniversary. What did OH cook for you? x<br />Lynda, I love the card you made for Sam. No doubt she loved it x <br />Mum, I’m glad you got to the gym but I bet you were tired afterwards. Love you you and Pop xx<br />Pat, I hope Pete is settling in at the home. My goodness I can’t believe how lucky you were to manage to get him a place in a Witney home straight away, and in the one that is so close to your home at that. Most people usually end up having to go into one much further away until a space becomes available in a local one! What luck for all of you x<br />Brenda, how good that you were able to help Anne get used to her Gemini. Enjoy crafting together x<br />Lilian, how are you feeling now? Better I hope. I hope the high winds didn’t cause any damage down in Cornwall x<br />Val, sorry that you’re crafting mojo is still taking a holiday. I’m sure it will return once you are feeling better x<br />Michele, enjoy your days off. I hope the weather is kind to you but if not you will just have to craft.... that would be so sad wouldn’t it, hehe x<br />I had better get on and pack my bags now, it always takes a while as I decide what to take to Sandra’s. Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for all in need. Take care xx<br />Mrs Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179962719631818018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-39826736637778912222019-03-06T08:27:18.730+00:002019-03-06T08:27:18.730+00:00hob not hot

If it was put in the oven it was called a casserole.

Such vibrant colours on your card...Morning ladies,<br /><br />Such vibrant colours on your card today Sandra that make it so special.<br /><br />For Lent I am donating one item each day that I no longer need, use or wear to charity. I saw this on Facebook and thought what a jolly good idea. It is another way of decluttering, which I started last year, and I suppose it does come under the heading of Spring cleaning too. My Nan and Mum sorted out the jumpers with holes in them and we would sit down and help unpick them, sort the different colours into skeins, then wash and dry them for to them be reused into new jumpers. <br />So it makes me laugh when the younger generation say we 'oldies' do not understand the idea of 'being green'. Excuse me, we were recycling everything since before they were even a dot in the great plan of the universe. And they are the most profligate of all generations with their constant slavish following and buying what the singers, actresses and designers offer up as clothing, their use of all things plastic and throwaways, fast food junk served in nonrecyclable materials and using so much electricity to power up all their gadgets, and using the family car as a taxi service which also wastes petrol and diesel when they are perfectly fit enough to walk where they need to go. The list could go on but I have to find something for today's Lent offering. <br /><br />Great big comfort blanket hugs to all in need of them, I hope your day becomes kinder to you. <br /><br />Love 7 hugs<br />Cheryl xxxcheryl brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890543787200668122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-48784287513466483172019-03-06T08:14:16.261+00:002019-03-06T08:14:16.261+00:00Morning Ladies

Sorry to hear you’re not feeling great on your new medication-fingers crossed things improve soon.<br /><br />We were extremely busy yesterday-hubby hired a Scarifier and I was in charge of bagging up the debris! 20 bags later I was exhausted. I also got petrol for the machine, borrowed the leaf blower from my Dad and I went to B+Q for another tub of cement (to fix a new washing line post in place). Needless to say we’re having a more relaxing day today -hopefully out for lunch.<br /><br />Michele CraftyCoffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776959710617654677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-30202096915243237552019-03-06T07:59:31.192+00:002019-03-06T07:59:31.192+00:00Hi Janet.

I don’t put much lemon on but still think that with sugar is still my favourite topping for them.

I love it.<br /><br />Well after Pancakes yesterday it's 'Ash' today whether we're not supposed to eat meat or not here in my part of Yorkshire we always had 'Ash'. This is very similar to stew but cooked on top of the cooker in a saucepan instead of inside the oven. We often had 'Ash on top of pancakes' throughout the winter months (it was one of Dad's favourite foods).<br /><br />I'm not sure what's on the cards for today.I'm sure I'll find something to do that is if my joints move as they should.lol<br /><br />KAREN- I hope all went as well as it could yesterday.<br /><br />The CAFE is OPEN ready and waiting for you all to pop in for a cuppa and a chat.<br />HUGS are on their way to you all. Take care and stay safe.xxxxjanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769057785697422382noreply@blogger.com
