Val, what a ...Hi Sandra and all in the Café today. <br />Val, what a lovely photo of Gracie, she certainly doesn't look to happy, she's got a "The things Mum makes me do" lookon her face 😊 fingers crossed your burst pipe is the third thing to break for you x<br />Oops got to go but will pop back later.<br />I completely agree with your PS. I remember how wonderful it was when you opened this fantastic blog. Just look at how many real friends we have all made on this blog. Thank you so much Sandra for all that you have already done and for all that you continue to do for us all.

Petes managed to pass his cold onto me so I'm a bit snuffly today.<br />Val isn't Gracie such a cutie although you can see she doesn't like her dress on. Love your bird of paradise plant as well. They had loads over in Madeira and they were fantastic. Thanks for sharing.<br />My word Brenda hasn't Caira made three fantastic cards. Great colouring Caira and I love the birds with their party hats on.

So many comments flying around out there. We are now on our way to Essex, I am trying to send a comment from my phone, so will do my best. VAL, I love the picture of Gracie, I think the look she is giving says "you have ten seconds before it all comes off" this photo really made me smile when I opened the blog this morning. Thank you for sharing. xxx<br />Ciara will be thrilled to see her cards on the blog. The Angry Bird one is for Samuel, who's birthday party we are all going today. The Nanny card was for her other grandma, who's birthday was on Thursday. SIL couldn't locate the birthday card Debbie had bought for his Mum, so asked Ciara to make him one, he was pleased with the result, and was able to drop both into his Mums on his way to work.<br />Think I will quit while I'm ahead. Will try to catch up with you all later.<br /> Love and hugs Brenda x x x <br /> <br />Brenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-91101422387684107852017-02-18T11:11:29.214+00:002017-02-18T11:11:29.214+00:00Morning everyone.

We have some inside the shopping centre but nothing as big as this one.<br />Ciara- your cards are great! Love all the colours and the Birds are so funny. Well done ! Thank you Brenda for letting us see her work, you seem to have been very busy the last few days.<br />I hope you all have a nice weekend and you have time to do what you like to do. I have a mojo at the moment who comes and goes as it wants which is a bit annoying because I have birthdays and anniversary coming up so like you Sandra I would like to be ahead and not have to stress at the last minute, never seem to work Lol<br />I too is sad that "someone" can make so much upset on Sue's blog once again. Guess I am one who write a bit longer but that's just me, therefore it is so nice with this blog of yours Sandra that we feel free to say what we want (in moderation) :)<br />Off now to send Sandra the cc, which I'm not so happy with :p hahaha<br />Take care everyone. Sending many hugs to you all.

Yes the rumour is true, Dawn Bibby is to s...hi Val,<br />Yes the rumour is true, Dawn Bibby is to start demoing as a 'Guest' on Hochanda, thankfully not a presenter! <br />I couldn't believe some of the comments on Hochanda's Facebook page after they announced the news, more people against the idea than 'for' , I'm sure deep down she is a sweet, gentle lady, but that's a part of her personality that she doesn't share, she always comes across arrogant and her comments have me cringing at times, on C&C she was always asking guests for things, jewellery, craft goods, she'd just come out and say "oh I'll keep this , it will look perfect in my dressing room " or putting guests on the spot by out right asking if she could keep things, I remember one in particular was an expensive item from a jewellery show! The other thing that frustrates me us when she would have a guest like Sue on (for example) she would continually talk over them making out like she knows more about their products than they do.!! <br />She has as her day, bless her, she did get a lot of us interested back in the early days, but sadly her style hasn't moved on, her new designed flowers are exactly the same as the ones she bought out 8+ years ago! I have never heard of "craft buddy" (the company she is working with), I just hope that the other Dawn and Jacqui don't follow her !!!

Ciara you have such a talent. All thre...Hi Sandra,<br /><br />Ciara you have such a talent. All three beautiful cards but love the bird one. I have this card and die set, hardly used and you've inspired me to route them out and have a play. Thank you.<br /><br />Sandra, thank you for showing my photos today. I think we all have a bit of nominees in us I love to see an insight into all your lives.<br />You're right, Gracie was not happy wearing her dress. I think I unnerved her as I laughed at her a lot. Anyway I didn't keep it on her for long otherwise I'd have had the Spanish equivalent of the RSPCA doing me for cruelty. She really is a good natured little dog though. She always brightens up my day. I think actually she's my grandchild substitute. Ha ha.<br /><br />My bird of paradise plant was here when I moved in so I can't take credit for growing it. It has 3 flowers on at the moment and just 3 more buds to flower. It really fascinates me. I could look at it for hours.<br /><br />I have a very unexciting job this morning. Something has spilled under my sink and everything I get out is sticky. It could do with a clear out anyway. Then a whole afternoon on crafting.<br /><br />My friend tells me DB is joining Hochanda. Yuk.<br /><br />Lilian, do hope your feeling a bit better today.<br /><br />Hope all not feeling so good have a good day, especially Maria and Lynda.<br /><br />Love ValxxxVal Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766670798729908920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-49778521157329326312017-02-18T09:20:16.338+00:002017-02-18T09:20:16.338+00:00Hi Sandra and friends.
