Sorry I didn't get ... Hello Sandra and everyone,<br />Sorry I didn't get it yesterday. I just had one of those days, I kept dozing off, when I was awake I was not ia good place. <br />Love the card and the tutorial you were showing us yesterday it was all beautifully clear and very well presented. Some years ago I bought some Art-Kure stamps and pens, the idea was you colour the stamp with the pens (they are water-based) and then using a water brush draw the colour out. I'm sure I could use the stamps and yes some of them are trees to try this technique. Thank you for your brilliant inspiration.<br /> Sorry you didn't get as much help as you had hoped from your girls when making the dinner on Sunday. I'm sure they have got loads of revision to do, so their excuses were not a get out clause. You did make me think of our younger daughter's children the eldest being a year older than your girls, she will sit and talk to you while everything is happening around her, she is good company, But so not interested in the preparation of food etc, now little sister Ciara is the total opposite she's always asking what can she do, quite often will pre-empt the next job and start, also suggests meals the family will enjoy. She enjoys watching cooking programs on the TV and often suggests meals that have been featured. I have heard her say to big sister, "if you're not going to help get out of the way " The saying comes to mind 'you can take a horse to water but not make it drink' I think given time and circumstances they will all do their bit, it's called survival .xx<br /> I hope you and Paul having a lovely relaxing day, sending love and hugs to you both.<br />Thank you everyone for your good wishes, I'm trying to be good and do as I'm told, ha ha. No, I'm under strict instructions to keep warm and rest. So far today have managed to stay awake, that must mean I'm on the mend. I HOPE.<br />LYNDA hope you are improving. LOL I had to smile when you said about having six phials of blood taken. Apologies for my wicked sense of humour....... I think it was Tony Hancock who did a sketch about the blood donor ( sorry some of you may be too young to remember him) <br />Sending love and hugs to everyone, Brenda xxxBrenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-55203348933060020202017-01-11T13:21:21.997+00:002017-01-11T13:21:21.997+00:00Hi Sandra and crafters

I did play with the Christmas one at a work shop but don't think I will get it because of the little dies which are quite fiddly to work with but they do make some nice cards.<br />I hope all with chest/ cough and sneezing fits are getting better for each day that's goes.<br />Take care friends.

Now I know where I went wrong it shouldn't be such a problem. As you say the extra bits are quite fiddly. So as I said I gave up. Will have another play later next week. How Michele managed to extend her Latte one I have no idea, but the finished result was great.

The headline read 'Schools to close because of snow'. She couldn't believe they would close for that amount. It was only 3", I can remember walking to school back in the sixties when the snow was 3ft deep and piled up in the gutter so the paths were clear. We must have been really hardy then, the least bit of rain round here and all the Chelsea tractors come out so the little princesses and princes don't get wet. Buy them a decent coat for heaven's sakes. x<br /> cheryl brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890543787200668122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-61301748153590991492017-01-11T08:33:16.522+00:002017-01-11T08:33:16.522+00:00Hi Sandra and everyone.

I too was surprised that the shadow box die doesn't actually cut out the outer shape so I use my pierced rectangles or my paper cutter. My last few dies I ordered on 27th December were finally dispatched on Monday so I'm hoping they'll arrive today. At this rate the cheap dies from China will get here first!!<br /><br />I did pop in & read the comments yesterday but I was shattered and after watching John Lockwood shows I'd recorded, I had a bath & an early night.<br /><br />Well-we have strong to gale force winds here with the prospect of snow tomorrow. Won't that be fun trying to get into work in the snow. Some staff can't manage to get in on time now so heaven help up if it does snow!<br /><br />Michele PharmacyMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613583130557825327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-78985713406112939112017-01-11T07:16:28.920+00:002017-01-11T07:16:28.920+00:00Morning Everyone

The small pieces really do look very tiny and perhaps for fingers that don't work too well might be a bit much. <br /><br />I didn't get any crafting done yesterday. Our Lidl visit was a complete wash out. We did get the few bobs like juice, water, fruit and oh yes a bottle of gin (just for......lol) but as to crafting non a sign of it. They had some quilt covers and sheets and a few car thingys so you can guess I was really disappointed.<br /><br />So today it's back to crafting that is after I've sent Sandra my CC for this week. I want to try and do a double zig zag as when I get back I'm straight back to my turn for take and make at K&N so I'll need to get all kits done while I'm here.<br /><br />I hope the CAFE is open and ready with warming piklets and fresh bread for you all. Let me know if Dobbie has been up to any tricks with Herman please.<br /><br />HUGE HUGs to all under the weather and of course for you all. I hope that 'thunder snow' whatever that is stays away from you all. xxxxjanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769057785697422382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-23123408816882453832017-01-11T06:54:52.295+00:002017-01-11T06:54:52.295+00:00Good Morning Sandra and ladies.
