Might have to be a weekend so start saving the pennies again after AP ladies. Hope you don't mind Sandra that I wish we could do a crafting weekend somewhere together again but maybe less packing this time Hihi. Oh Lilian you should have seen our cars, they were full to the rim with crafting stuff.

Recently our tenets moved out so we thought we would try and sell again, went to check it out and unfortunately the tenets had not touched the garden in two years, so we have had to have a marathon cutting back day, also the inside not left very clean inside, we leave in the hands of the agents, who are supposed to check it when they move out, I guess they thought it didn't matter as we are going to sell, so I'm feeling quite shattered.<br /><br />Hope you all have a lovely evening , Lilian<br />lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16188496021858629196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-9674283474924831272016-07-27T19:28:40.751+01:002016-07-27T19:28:40.751+01:00Hi Sandra and everyone.
Good to hear Matt is back ...Hi Sandra and everyone.<br />Good to hear Matt is back home, you are right to tell him to take a few extra days off after being so ill. He need to be careful.<br />Sandra, you know my view of your blog because that have changed my life. You are a wonderful lady who making me/us so welcomed and so wish that others would join in the grand craft you showcasing every day and join in the fun with making up some CC and mini CC , that keeps my mojo going better even if it's hiding some days (like today) :-) Also meeting up at AP is a great day out and if living close enough to eachother like you three Graces, have the chance to meet up during the week. Happy 2nd Anniversary ! :-)<br />Wonderful card from Janet, love it.<br />Was meant to go for a walk but we also had rain so my friend and I decided we do it tomorrow instead.<br />OH and I went to Dunelm ,had breakfast and bought a bread bin home, never had one before. WE wanted the same like our tea and coffee holders but that was so badly scratched so we got one with poppies and a pull over door. They have some serious problem in our store with things being damaged that hanging or standing not sure if it is the same in other stores. Back home our painter was on the big ladder and doing the bit over the stairs and ceiling, he is like a little monkey but at 70 he is very good. Used to have a peachy colour in the hall and putting green in down stairs loo but now gone for a much lighter colour in both. The hall look like a blank canvas, maybe I should do a picture hihi<br />The weather changed this afternoon so sat outside reading in the sunshine when my mamma phoned and then an old friend from Norway. We see eachother most days on facebook but it is never the same. Dinners done,dishwasher on and coffee on the way so I wish you all a nice evening and hope you can all sleep soundly tonight. love and hugs Maria xxxxMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672255244916708700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-5342704469860277432016-07-27T19:01:55.660+01:002016-07-27T19:01:55.660+01:00Hello Sandra and everyone,

Hello Sandra and everyone,<br /><br /> Hopefully this will be third time lucky, I've already lost two comments, I have visions of all these lost words floating around in cyberspace, now theres an interesting thought, what if - they all regroup - there would be some interesting comments floating around. Forgive me, it's my silly mind! <br /><br /> Sandra, so please Matt has been allowed to come home, even more pleased to see his listening to you, it would be silly to return to work so quickly after all he's been through. He must let his body recover. Sending him gentle hugs.<br /><br />I agree with everyone's comments about this blog, Each and everyone is sincere and supportive, I consider myself self very blessed to have so many friends. I can still remember the first time I said hello to Sandra, it was at Ally Pally, She Paul, Sue and Pat were by the lunch tables opposite SW's Rubberneckers stand, I can tell you I felt like a stalker, my head was saying - is it her? and then I would walk away and they go back again, I told myself I would regret it if I didn't go and ask if she was Sandra. Will the rest is history, and for those who haven't actually met Sandra she is one of the loveliest young ladies you could wish to meet also Sue and Pat. And I believe it was the next time we met Magaret was with them, another lovely lady and so talented. As are Littlelamb (the other Brenda) Maria, Lynda (watch out for Terry, he is a great teaser and funny with it) Also I have met Karen with Maria at Watford. So in quite a short time, I have actually met quite a few of you. But each and everyone on the blog I really considered to be friends. Thank YOU Sandra, without you we would all have missed so much. And happy anniversary girls, hope you've had a lovely meet up today.

I love your blog & echo what the others have said you are all special friends. I am looking forward to meeting up next week. Pleased to hear Matt is home, agree he should have at least rest of week off. Hope you & Sue find Pat free from pain, look forward to seeing her in the cafe.xxx<br />Janet what a couple of mornings you have had, thank goodness for your friendly builder. Your card is beautiful love the image.xxx<br />Managed to get my cc done yesterday, I enjoyed this one may well do another. Anne Tollie sounds gorgeous, look forward to photo. Hope you enjoy your day.xxx<br />Michele enjoy your meal this evening, sounds as if you will be ready for it.xxx<br />Lynda I hope Bambi does not pine too much, when we lost Star's mum she went completely off her food for about a week, the only way to give her anything was to let her take it from my hand. Will be thinking of you at your appointments.xxx<br />Sending hugs to all who need them love Margaret.xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619180237917239101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-7123178829887411832016-07-27T12:27:24.239+01:002016-07-27T12:27:24.239+01:00Afternoon Everyone
Oh it does seem so funny saying...Afternoon Everyone<br />Oh it does seem so funny saying 'afternoon' instead of 'morning' but sometimes things get in the way of timetables and I have to say this time it was my 'dearly loved' OH lol. Yes the Chimney Sweeping didn't go at all well. In fact I can honestly say I couldn't have had a worse day but never mind I suppose that's MEN for you.<br />Everything was going well until someone twisted the brushes the wrong way and yes unfastened the top two poles leaving them stuck up the Chimney. (definitely wasn't 'when Santa got stuck up the chimney' I can tell you. He tried everything and nothing worked and so the only solution was someone had to go on the roof to get the brush and poles out. Well it definitely wasn't going to be Jim - not at his age nor weight on any roof' so an emergency call to our friendly builder who came and had a look and said he couldn't do anything then but would be back at 08.00 this morning to sort things. The result of course was that the kitchen had to be cleaned and put back in place until this morning and we again repeated the task of moving everything ready for the builder who did arrive at 08.00 with his lad who then climbed on the roof, sat on top of the chimney stack and fished out the brush and poles. I have to say I stayed well out of the way but Jim told me the story of how the lads fastened together two pieces of wood and nailed a hook on the end to fish down the chimney. They were successful and we've just cleaned the kitchen once again and had a bit of lunch and now that is it for today. I can tell you that next year someone else will be sweeping the chimney!!! Talk about never a dull moment.....<br /><br />SANDRA- I'm so pleased that Matt is back home but as been said before me you are perfectly correct in that he needs some R&R at home before going back to work and definitely MUM KNOWS BEST. Please give him a gentle hug for me.<br />I love your words to Pat and Sue you're a very lovely lady and we're all better off having you in our lives.<br /><br />Thank you all so much for your lovely comments re my Vintage phase. It really seems to have taken hold of me at the moment.<br />The die I have used is a Tonic Frame and I'm so sorry but I didn't keep the name of it as it was one I bought quite some time before I joined you lovely Gang and had to keep the names etc. It has a corner die with it too. The stick pins are of course beads etc from SW; the flowers are from my stash but I coloured them with cold black coffee; the tassel I made from my crochet cotton and the picture is again one from Amanda Charlesworth Pinterest Vintage page. The backing paper is from the Mulberry paper block.<br /><br />I see all is well in the Café and running very smoothly so I'll say have a good afternoon everyone and again sorry that your hugs are late today. xxxx<br /><br /><br /><br />janetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-82555665339670861602016-07-27T12:21:02.588+01:002016-07-27T12:21:02.588+01:00Hello Sandra & Friends
