Good Morning Ladies,
Well I am afraid you have to put up with one of my cards today! This card was inspired by my husband, who on a brief visit to my craft room suggested that I use some yellow as it would be good to think about Spring! Et Voila!!! As requested by his lordship a card with yellow, and lilac, now these colours I wouldn't have thought of putting them together, but on my colour wheel they are complimentary! I do think they work together too, I used my new Noble Dies designed by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions, I love these dies. I have used both the Ornate Pierced Rectangles and the Classic Adorned Rectangles, layered up and topped a Happy Mothers day stamp from a Justrite set. The flowers were made using the Camellia Complete Petals dies designed again by Sue Wilson and the same lilac and lemon card that I used to make the card. I added some pearls to the corners and put a strip of lemon Seam Binding ribbon across the card base and tying a double bow and placing on top of a piece of white tulle and topped with one of the Camellia dies.
Sam - we are all thinking about you today, I hope all goes well with this hospital visit, be sure to pop in and let us know if you feel up to it when you get home.
Norah, I hope you are back up to full speed again today, your special cup is behind the counter, just help yourself. How did Kirsten's Scan go, are they finding out which 'flavour' they are having?
Steph, are you feeling back to normal? I hope so sweetie, spend the day in your den catching up with your orders, hugs xx
Theresa thanks for allowing me to show your gorgeous card, I am please hubby is getting involved,
I hope all of you are warm and safe from this blustery weather, today is going to be about purely craft today! I looked around at the chaos left by my darling off spring and thought for a moment about swooping the whole lot into a black bin bag! but I have shrugged my shoulders and I have left it, I am going to ignore it and when they can't find things that's their fault not, ''mum where have you put my...''.
Well I am off for a shower and a cup of tea.
look forward to reading all of your comments today, I did reply to most of you yesterday although it was late after coming in from Pat's, helping Paul with tea and being Mum for a while!
Love and hugs

Hi Sandra,My dear Friend and All My Friends,
ReplyDeleteJust a very quick look in as I've got to be out very early I feel so bad as I had to put The Boys in The Kennels for the evening as I had to be out early this morning, we never leave them on there own but it's a Fabulous place.
Sandra your Card is Truly Outstanding, Extremely Talented your all so very, very Talented.
I really Love the Spring Colours you have chosen and I Just Love those Dies from Sue I've just bought The Square Noble Dies but not used as yet!!!!
Take Care My Lovelies, when I go to Hospital Lyndon is coming along with me, it's not to bad today its a Body Scan but it's not in my town it's about an hours drive away.
Take care Sandra

From Sam xxx
Hi Sam. Sending you special thoughts and hugs today, hope everything goes ok. Sue xxx
DeleteGood morning Sam,
DeleteWill be thinking about you today sweetheart, having your body scan! If you feel up to it maybe you could call in later and let us know how you got on?
I hope your boys got on ok too at their kennels, I am not sure that they will get spoiled anywhere as much as you spoil them Sam!
There will be some waggy tails this afternoon when you go to collect them.
Thanks for popping in this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see you, I thought you would have been too busy stressing about dogs and hospital!
Lots of love and hugs,
Sandra xxxx
Hi Sam. I know you won't read this until after you have had your body scan but I will be thinking of you and hope it goes well. I'm sure your boys will be fine in the kennels, but I bet they will be all over you when you collect them : ) Take care.
DeleteHi Sam, I am thinking of you, hope all goes well today for you so pleased you will have Lyndon with you for company. I know just what you mean about using kennels we don't put our corgis in kennels but we are lucky our daughter will step in and help or my good friend over the road. However good kennels are, there is no place like home, but just think of the welcome you will get from your boys when you collect them.
DeleteTake care lovely lady
With love
Margaret xx
Hi Sam just a quick good luck call for your scan.
DeleteCatch you later, Jess
Hi Sam, guess you back home in the warmth by now with your feet up and your two/ three lovely are taking care of you for the rest of the day Hugs Maria x

Hi Sam, Hope all went well today. I'm sure your boys had a good day but will be pleased to have their mummy back.

Sam, I was sure I had left a message this morning. I hope your scran went ok and they have found out what the problem is. Your boys will have been fine, better there than you having to worry about them, we don't like putting harris to his home from home place, but he hasn't got much choice this year as we are away to Canada. He loves going it's us we feel terrible. Hazel xx
DeleteMorning Sandra,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and yes very Spring like colours, so pretty. Hope you have a happy day crafting and SAM I hope all goes well at the hospital.

Hi Sandra. It appears that my comment yesterday is floating around in cyberspace (either that or I clicked sign out not publish)! So firstly can I say Theresa, I think your card was lovely and truly must have been a labour of love given your pain. I'm glad you had some help with the die cutting.
ReplyDeleteSandra, has Paul caught the crafty bug? Love your card today and the lilac and yellow together remind me of crocuses and is very spring-like. Glad to hear that the Three Graces managed a get together.
Michele, I hope you enjoyed your night out with your friends, I'm very sorry that their life together won't be a long one, but it will be one filled with love and that is what matters. Sorry that your hospital visit didn't go well Steph, hope you have a better day today.
I'll try and pop back for a hot chocolate and a catch up tonight. Sue xxx
Good morning Sue,
DeleteThanks for making a flying visit ( I left some 'coffee to go' cups on the side) so you can get a drink and take it with you!
I am glad you liked my card, I agree about the crocus' flowers also little violas too.
Sue, Paul has always had an interest in cards, years and years ago he used to make decoupage pictures, really intricate designs too, one was an old fashioned pharmacy, he used to glaze them all and put them in box frames! This was way before I ever showed an interest in craft. We have for many years now shared a dream of opening our own Craft shop/coffee shop/tea room, with a space for demonstrating and holding craft classes and to try before you buy on craft tools! What do you think? All we need now is a lottery win! Haha!
Love and hugs my lovely,
Sandra XX
Good morning Sandra and ladies. Well Sandra I for one think your colours go well and Paul is right it does look spring like, oh how I wish it was spring like here? Got so cold yesterday waiting on Beth coming out of school,
ReplyDeleteYour card is stunning, I do like those dies, but I am trying to be good and not buy. Your little flowers and bow just finish it off lovely. Poor Sam I think she is more worried about her boys being in kennels than going for her scan? My big lump is back in his bed sound asleep, must be great being a lab - sleep, eat, sleep again a good walk then oh yes sleep again, he's a good soul no trouble so will let him off with it. Well it's into take Anna. To the dentist, mummy thought she would be working from home today, but no she has to go to Edinburgh and Glasgow and if her meeting finishes early she has to go to Dundee, talk about stretching oneself, this is where she forgot all about the other week when we fell out.. Hazel to the rescue as after the denist I have to take Anna to school a 35mile run trip for me this morning then again tonight, good job I don't mind driving. Sandra do you have any of Margaret's heat bags? I was wondering if you put one down at your feet like a hot water bottle but not hard then another up near the middle of the bed it might just be cozy enough to send you to sleep, I was cold yesterday and that's what I did except I had one under my leg which was a bit sore, Charlie said this morning that I was out like a light and that was me till 5.15am unheard off with me that often. Sorry again I helped myself to tea, money in the pot. Oh Tammy said to say it's a pity there wasn't the old style Butlins holiday camps with the little chalets that we could rent for a craft holiday as they would have a big ballroom like room with all the tables, space and access for those in wheelchairs. But wait for it " plus far enough away from anywhere so we could make as much noise as we liked , be it all the chatter or even the noise of all those handles going round" now what is she saying??? Hazel xxx
Hi Hazel,
DeleteThanks for calling in this morning, also for your lovely comment on my card, I feel a little sad for you all today having my cards and not one of my very talented guest designers!
So has 'mummy' totally gone back on everything that you went out of your way to explain ? How very frustrating, I hope to goodness you are billing them for your fuel, let alone the wear on your car!
Margaret's heat bags sound brilliant for getting heat to specific areas! I just use a normal pink hot water bottle that when you empty it the sink is full of the bits of pink, so it's obviously deteriorating !
The Butlins idea is brilliant, you have no idea how much I would love to meet up with you all!
Just to spend a few days chatting and crafting and more chatting!
It would be heaven! Well I am just off to see my wee girlies off to school and then I am going to make a hot drink and take it back to bed for an hour! I have got a killer sore throat today, mind you a Paul is full of cold once again! I then have to visit my craft room to sadly make a sympathy card, my sons friend lost her dad to lung cancer yesterday,Matt had spent weekends away doing motocross with them, so it has hit Matt really hard, bless him he was sobbing last night, the chap only got diagnosed in September,so it must gave been fairly aggressive, the chap was the same age as Paul too, life seems so unfair at times! This will be my first sympathy card too!
Well I am going to go make that hot drink!
Love and huggles,
Sandra xxx
Sandra, no mummy been good, it's just she booked Anna appointment as she was to be at home, but the scottish health board are holding meetings and she is meant to attend the three big meetings all being held today, so asked if I minded helping out, oh yes mileage will have to be paid as 70 miles is a 5th of a tank of fuel. Let alone the wear on the car. Not good about the sore throat you take it easy. Sandra your cards are stunning so don't do yourself down. I know how you feel about the sympathy card, I have just made a couple, I try and not make them look sad, a cheery card as I feel there is enough sadness around as it is. Poor Matt it's hard on the young, lung cancer doesn't give much time, the girls dad being a Cancer doctor ( he is head and neck ) but does see others, but he will tell you if you catch right at start it's ok, but so many younger folk think they just have a cough.
DeleteWell I'd better get some house work done, you stay in that cozy bed. Lots of hot drinks too. Hazel x
Beautiful card today, really lovely. The meal last night went well although my friuhas lost some of his speech. Specialist not sure if it's a bleed on his brain or it's the tumour, sad as it is his 29th birthday on Monday. He & his fiancé seemed to enjoy the evening which was good.
ReplyDeleteOff to get ready for the day ahead-I manage an Aseptic Unit where all the chemotherapy is made for the hospital. Usually I love my job but right now I'm strugging personally & we're waiting to hear if hubby will be made redundant (by that big supermarket chain)- we find out on 6th March.
Right-I'll stop moaning & leave you lovely ladies to a crafty Wednesday.
Michele
Oh my dear Michele,
DeleteWhat a lot for you to handle in one go. Please let us help share your load, we will all support you every step of the way. Hugs and prayers winging their way to you.
Cheryl xxx
Hi Michele. First of all, we are all here for you and you are not moaning, you are having an awful time at the moment. Being able to share both good and bad times is what Sandras wonderful blog is all about. Sometimes just sharing things can help a little and that is what we are al here for.
DeleteWhen you hear of people like your friend it puts things into perspective doesn't it. It doesn't stop you worrying about your husbands job though, yo wouldn't be human otherwise. Please come and have a drink and a yummy cake and lots of hugs from us all to help you through these bad times. We are here for you. Take care.
Hi Michelle,
DeleteNo wonder you are struggling. So sorry about your young friends. Lung cancer is so awful and really aggressive. Going to work - instead of taking your mind off things is almost a constant reminder. As for your husband's job I do hope that it will be safe. Such a lot of worry for you. So glad you have shared it and we are all thinking of you and you husband and friends. Sending caring hugs to you. Love Myra xx
Oh Michelle,
ReplyDeleteBless you sweetheart you have so much going on to worry about, with your husbands job which you won't be relax about until you have an answer for! Coupled with worrying about your friend, I am sure you must be in Zombie mode! You have so done the right thing by sharing it on here as you couldn't wish for more support.
Love and huge hugs
Sandra xxxxx
Michelle, as the other have said please come in and chat, to share you fears is good, and ou have a bucket full at the moment, and friends and family are ok but on here you can share the fears that you might not want to do with friends and family as they are worrying too! Glad your meal and evening was lovely. Hazel x
DeleteMichelle, please do not fret, come in and get support from Sandra and the rest of us. Have a coffee and no calorie cake, and share your troubles goodness knows we all have them, and as the saying goes, a problem shared is a problem halved. Take care, Jess x
DeleteDear Michelle, what a lot you have on your plate, The ongoing worry about your husbands job, also your dear friend. What can I say that hasn't been said already.
DeletePLEASE remember the 'Coffee Shop' never closes, we are all here for you. Love and lots of gentle hugs. Brenda
Michele, you are in the right place to share your worries and sadness. Your friend is so young, my heart goes out to you for the job as well for your husband ,we are here Hugs to you both Maria x
DeleteHi Michelle,you have so much worry to deal with at the moment,with the worry of your hubby's job & your dear friend's illness,it's so unfair being so young.My thoughts & prayers are with you.As the others have said remember we are all here for you.
DeleteLove & Hug's Lynda
Hello Sandra,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, if you do not mind I would like to say to Michelle that I am thinking of, and praying for her friends and that her husband doesn't lose his job. You know a trouble shared is a trouble halved and you did absolutely right in sharing your worries with us. The more support you have, the lighter the load.
Now the colours on this card are not ones I would have put together, but it does signal spring, and the lovely spring flowers, so well done Paul on his suggestion. He can come and colour co-ordinate my wardrobe for me!! The card is beautiful and very, very pretty - I love it (I sound like JJ)
Sam, hope the scan goes well, and I'm sure your "boys" will be fine.
Sandra, I looked at yesterday's blog again this morning to see what I had missed (I always do) and have to laugh at your instructions re losing my messages. Tap the box and paste????? what box and where's the paste. Remember, I'm a total washout at this computer lark. I switch on and type, the rest is a mystery to me. I can send an e-mail and read one, but that's about it.
I was a secretary in a previous life, so did shorthand and typing, but way back when I learnt to type in the 1950's there weren't even electric typewriters, only huge hulking manual ones.
Well, I hope today is a good day for everyone, and that things go more smoothly for me than yesterday. Now you see, I forgot to sit in the corner table with Mrs B with my latte and toasted teacake, so I'll go over there now and sit quietly watching what you are all doing!

Good morning Sandra and ladies,
ReplyDeletePaul is absolutely so right to put these two colours together. They remind me of my little violas gently nodding their heads in a spring breeze. So bright and colourful.
I am having a busy afternoon taking my friend for her INR check up at one surgery then back to her own doctor's for an appointment to discuss it. I did ask why they couldn't do it themselves, the answer? they don't get paid for it. Load of tosh methinks as they CAN do it but only if the doctor asks them. So it involves us having to go from one end of town to another with road works going on on the way to the first appointment. I have been working hard on being able to control my agoraphobia to a certain extent that I do not feel anxious driving her there and back. (It took me over a year after Pete died to even get into the car to get to my doctor's and last year I would have totally floored if it was not for the Red Cross Drivers taking me to appointments). Otherwise it would be a two bus trip each way and 1-2 hours for her on her own. And we only live 3 miles from town!
Sam, I hope all goes well for your scan, hugs to Steph, Norah, Hazel and Michele and especially to Matt.
Love
Cheryl xxx

Congratulations Rebecca, well done you, it will be scary the first time you go out on your own, I still remember that and it was over 34 years ago, I had to wait till I was 30 before we could afford my lessons, if I got a penny for each mile I have driven I would be living in total luxury. Enjoy the freedom. Hazel xx

DeleteHi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunningly beautiful card. It ticks every box for me. You have really created a masterpiece with Sue's new dies. Could never be disappointed to see one of your beautiful creations. Thank you for sharing it.
Can't stay today, my head is all over the place. It's my sisters big day and I can't concentrate. There is such sadness, Michele's friend, your sons friend and I am in bits. I will be so glad when today is over and i know she is safely out of the operating theatre. I knew today was going to be hard, but didn't realise it would hit me like it has done. I am trying really hard to be positive but after we had spoken very early this morning it felt like we had said our goodbyes. Wish I could hold her hand.
Love to you all XXX
Dear Saba,
DeleteStay as positive and as strong as you can my flower, we are all here for you and your sister today with as much support as you need. I wish I could be there to hold your hand but I am holding it in spirit.

Saba dear flower, i am writting this with tears in my eyes because i feel so awful at i do not know what is wrong with your loved one, i think news of this must have came out when i was at my lowest ebb and couldn't come in to the coffee shop. I can only say i so sorry for not giving you the support that i have received this past few months but i am sending hugs to you and your sister as she goes through today's ordeal. I can say please try and be strong but that is easier said than done, but i will say a wee prayer and hope that it gets answered for you.

Hi Sandra, your card is stunning and I agree with you I Would not have put these colours together. WELL DONE Paul they work..
ReplyDeleteHad an email from Anna Marie she in on C&C now. Program started at 11am. I will have to watch it on catch up.
Sorry dashing out for a few hours. Going as younger daughter calls it to 'Ladies what lunch '
Will be back later, love Brenda xxx
Hi Sandra Wow great news do tell your daughter Congratulations! Your card is absolutely stunning the colours are so beautiful I love how you have put it all together very clever and yes it does say spring to me too. If Paul keeps dropping these little comments he will have to take up a chair in the coffee shop as a consultant!!! lol.
ReplyDeleteCould I please have a latte to keep out the cold, thank you. We had heavy snow but lucky for us it has gone today but the fells look absolutely fabulous.
This Bloglovin thing has been causing a lot of us such a trouble of late but thanks to Saba things are I hope clear now, well done Saba for sorting me out as I was completely lost and not sure if I was getting things right.
It is always sad to make a sympathy card especially when it is for someone that were too young to loose but a lovely card does bring comfort to those who are suffering the most.
I had a chapter in my life when things were so very bad and a good friend told me there is a reason for everything, although you may never get to know the reason but hang on to that and it will get you through, and it really did. That chapter did finally close and another new one eventually started and I could see the brightness ahead. Those who are struggling at present please keep this thought near to you and have as many hugs as you need from me.
Take care everyone
With love

Just been watching Anna Marie on C & C with DB who has said at 2pm it is her last hour!!!!
ReplyDeleteMargaret xx
Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteIt's taken me ages to get to the end of the comments today s I have stopped off and added my own on the way here!
Lovely card Sandra - I wouldn't have thought of using those colours either but when you think of nature just now all the lovely little bright flowers peeping out of dark soil and the lovely fresh green foliage, it's a clear winner. The flowers reminded me of my little pansies too - almost wondering if it's safe to come out!
Well done, Rebecca ! Drive carefully. It's scary at first on your own but very liberating!
Sam - hope all goes well today for you. The doggies will be fine as soon as they see you they'll forget all about the kennels.
Norah - sorry you are not so well . Knowing how much you love to do crafts of all kinds , having shaking hands must be a real nuisance. Also not safe to handle hot things like kettles and pans. Take care, my friend. Hope you feel much better very soon. x
Lots of love to everyone.
Sandra - sorry you had a bad night and now a sore throat! Sending hugs to you too. x
Love Myra xx
Oh, Sandra, what a beautiful card. The colours are a real touch of spring, just the thing we all need to get us through this last part of winter.
ReplyDeleteSo many ladies are having a tough time just now, jut wish I could take some of the hurt away, but I guess sharing it here helps.
Cheers
Janice
Afternoon Sandra and ladies, so late today I will have to be ladies who lunch!
ReplyDeleteSandra your card is lovely, I actually bought some yellow and lavender card yesterday I thought the colours went well together, looking at your card it certainly makes it look natural. Congratulations to your daughter on passing her driving test, it took me 4 goes!!!
Too late for elevenses, so can I have some cinnamon toast and tea for my lunch. Take care everyone, catch you all later, Jess x
Hi Sandra, well I was looking forward to seeing this card when you told me the colours, and it doesn't disappoint, its beautiful, fresh, and elegant. You really do have such a talent. Hope you are feeling better today, Congrats to your daughter for passing her test. Have you tried deep dark burgundy and Lime green, sounds awful but looks stunning together.
ReplyDeleteWell told my friend who crafts in knit and natter about Your blog and Sues and shes going to have a look in.
Saba my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as always.
Michelle hang in there its a worrying time, my husband has been made redundant 3 times and its stressful. My prayers are with you and your friend.
Littlelamb I didn't see yesterdays comment until this morning no more falling. I hope you haven't done any more damage and that your cast comes off soon, and you are back crafting.
Lynda are you going to put one of your gorgeous cards on your blog I am missing them.
Sam hope all goes well today.
Lots of hugs for everyone

Hi Theresa, i have just posted a card, thank you for asking so kind of you to say your missing them.
DeleteHope you are feeling now with the physio hope it's not making things more painful, i can't imagine the pain with them pulling your fractured shoulder about.
Love & hug's Lynda xx
Silly me forgot to order a latte and a piece of toast please. Thanks Theresa (TOB) xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra
ReplyDeleteClever Paul for picking the colours they go so well. I hope you soon feel better. Congratulations to Rebecca on passing her driving test. Saba my thoughts are with and your family. Michelle you are not moaning some times it helps if you can just share things hope everything goes well for you. Well I have nearly finished my mum's card just have to foil the verse then need to sort everything out for hols at the weekend. I would of been sorted if those unexpected guests hadn't turned up I wouldn't have the nerve to turn up unexpected anywhere. Back to the grindstone. Love a Tandy
Good afternoon Sandra and the coffee shoppers,
ReplyDeleteSandra, if your Paul keeps this up you will losing your craft room to him and his designing ideas. Now in the spring you get purple, lilac, yellow etc in the crocuses and primulas that all go together so why shouldn't lilac and yellow or lemon. I think your joint card is ideal for mothers day and spot on with the colours. I love the Noble dies but not at the moment somehow, but they are on my list for getting when i can.
Kirstens 20 minute scan took 45mins because "Harry" wouldn't co operate with them as he was deciding to do acrobatics in his mummy's tummy, so in other words she was just getting paid back from what she did in mine.Hee hee hee. It was to check out his heart and other organs developement and make sure he was rising nicely in the oven.
Sam, i hope the body scan goes well for you today and that they can see where the problem is and just how they are going to go about fixing it for you flower. The last scan i went for was to see if there was any neurological problems and they scanned the brain, well i could have told them that there wasn't one there if they had just asked. I can understand you not liking to put the boys in their kennels for the night as it isn't all that warm yet but i am weird in the fact that i don't like seeing a dog in a kennel at night because of the weather because i know i wouldn't like to be shut up outside on a cold draughty night to which Campbell thinks i',m daft at. The amount of arguments we have had over the same thing is unreal. Tia is the first time that she has not been put out into a kennel out the back. See you when you come into the coffee shop flower.
Oh Hazel, i feel sorry for you having all the running around to do but i do feel sorry for the girls mum as well(can i say that without getting lynched) how do they expect her to be in 3 places at once may i ask. And it is not as if they are close to each other as they are on opposite coasts and points of Scotland, it's 2 hours to Dundee from here in the wee county never mind coming from Glasgow or Edinburgh to it. Safe journey's today flower.
Oh Michele, i am glad that you had as good a night out with your friends as you could but it is so sad that this young man is being stricken down in the prime of his life like that. There is so much talk about wasting doctors time that sometimes you are frightened to go with what looks like nothing and it will go away of it's own accord. But the doctors make you feel guilty at taking up their time and then they faff around with antibiotics and by the time that they actually take you seriously and send you to see a specialist it is too late or maybe that is just me being bitter because that is what they did to my daddy, as the doctor concerned was more interested in his pay packet at the end of the month than he is in his patients. I hope that your friends wedding is a happy one for them, when are they now getting married?
back in a minute
Norah
Norah no you won't get lynched as you are so right, and yes you know the travelling she will be doing herself today. I only had Cuper to Kinross high and back to do, ok I do the Wednesday run to pick anna up at 5 pm, if stupid stagecoach would just stop and think and put a bus on at just after 5 I stead of 6 it woundnt be so bad, but she is only 12 and not street wise at all, we just can't let her hang around like some do. Mum often picks her up on her way back from Edinburgh to save me going. Glad wee Harry is doing well and letting mum have peace of mind. I wish I had been able to have scans when I was carrying mine then they would have maybe known that what they thought was a very small baby was a big 9lb 4oz one mine all lay with their backs to mine, very painful plus what they thought was hips was knee caps. Hope you get your shakes under control soon. Hazel x
DeleteI'm back
ReplyDeleteSandra, oh boy not funny when you are seeing every minute on the clock go bye. Snuggle up in some of those fleecy pj's that the girls like the now and i think the time has come to say a fond farewell to your pink hot water bottle somehow as we do not want it bursting and scalding you.
Rebecca sweetheart, we are all so proud of you today passing your driving test, fantastic news but this is when you really learn to drive so please take it easy and watch out for the rest of the idiots that don't know where they are going. Your confidence will come as you go out, and wishing you all the very best baby flower.
Poor Matt, he must be devastated at his friends fathers death both for all his own memories of the things that they did together and for his friend and her loss. Son, it is after everything is over that your friend is going to need you more, and together you will pull through this sad time. I am sending hugs to your friend because i know just how she feels.
Myra, that is the reason they invented jam sandwiches and diluting juice, for the Elvis's amongst us that decide that you can shake any time, any place, any where. Oh no, that was the martini advert that was anytime, any place, any where but you know what i mean. I am hoping that it is just a passing phase though i wish that it could make me dance again.
Well now that i have yapped enough and this is the third attempt at this i will get my cup(thank you for getting in that Tommy Tippee for me Sandra) and i will go and sit across in my corner. I don't know how many of my hugs have fallen out of my basket due to the shakes but there is still plenty of all shapes, sizes and kinds for all occassions,
love and crafty hugs

Hi Sandra and all lovely friends. Such a lovely cheerful card today Sandra on a very sad and worrying afternoon in our cafe, I cant continue reading all comments, but Im just so glad that Sandra's wonderful blog has become so caring and supportive for all those going through hell at the moment. My heart screams out for you both Saba and Michelle, I dont know what to say other than that we are all thinking of you with the biggest virtual hug anyone could give and I mean that with all my heart. We've stopped just being names on a blog in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteSam hon by the time Ive found time inbetween cards you will be hopefully been through your scan and picking up your babies - having that distance to drive with one set of paws is bad enough (especially when most of the journey is 50mph) !! And a ginger dog singing and crying with excitement for an hour NONE bleeping STOP !!! Which we have to go through yet again Wednesday ! Anyway Sam love, just make whats left of your day when you get home with the boy's your's to rest and relax and fuss those 8 paws.
Well Im off to start the Mother's Day card Ive been asked for this morning. Want to get any order's I have done n dusted so I can cut petal's, flower's etc and Lilli of the valley mini basket templates and paper's ready for next week.
So I'll send my love and biggest hugs I can give, and pop back tomorrow.
Congrats to Becca, sorry Sandra almost forgot, I remember when Lou passed her test, I was in hospital at the time but the staff had watched her grow from a young little girl to a young lady ( I wish ) lol so we all celebrated and cheered when she turned up beaming later that day. Proud times and lovely memories.
Love you.

Hi Sandra
ReplyDeleteI see what Mrs B said yesterday about this card. Yes, the colours do go together. I think I could do with a colour wheel like yours. Paul's a clever devil isn't he. Congratulations to Becca on passing her driving test. Tell her to take care when she first starts driving, as they're are a lot of idiots on the road. Hopefully NORAH you won't need your tippy cup for to long. Hope you scan went ok Sam. I to feel as if I havent a brain at the moment. Sandra said my comments the day before were like gibberish. No offence taken Sandra, but my brain does feel like it's left the country at the moment. Went for lunch with friends earlier. We had no time for a drink as Pauline had to go to the JR for a checkup. So I'll have a cup of hot chocolate and a slice of chocolate cake. No need to move I know where the kitchen is, so I'll help myself if I can. Hugs to all in need of one today.
Hi Sandra, Hope Matt is OK. It really hurts as a parent when our children experience the hard facts of life. It is a sad time, but in some ways good he was able to express his emotions to you, Tell him it's good to cry and to talk. He will get through this awful time, because his has a very caring family there for him. Love and hugs, Brenda xxx
ReplyDeleteAfternoon Sandra and ladies! A tea and scone would sit nicely this time of day.
ReplyDeleteLove your card and the colours are so working together.Well done Paul ! I would need a colour chart for whats goes as I'm useless at putting things together so seeing all your cards and the others helping a lot. The adorned rectangle and your little flowers are also perfect so please don't stop showing us your cards because they are lovely. Sorry to see you not feeling well but hopefully it shered you up with Rebecca passing her driving ! Christian is on his third week, I think doh, driving to work and back and I have relaxed a bit lol . I know /hope he is sensible lad ,it's the others that worries me more Give her a hug from me. Poor Matt and his friend to be loosing her dad, sigh I feel so for him and others who are involved with this illness, sending hugs to you all ! I waiting for my mamma to get her appointment for starting her treatment but as she got a infection at the moment it is delayed....
You always make me smile Norah and today it is a 'Harry' who making himself known lol do we know if it's a boy or girl ? Patricia, we have a Wyevale garden centre that have' the works' so will have a trip out tomorrow to see for some papers. Thanks for the tip. You will think me real dumb, because I am lol but when I heard about 'Fondation cards' what does that mean ? I do need this retreat badly lol ! Sandra ,Wish you better and love to everyone
Hugs in bunches Maria xx
Norah hope you are feeling better Hugs Theresa (TOB) xx
ReplyDeleteSandra and lovely ladies.
ReplyDeleteJust a very quick comment to let you all know that Val is now out of the operating theatre, it took them almost 8 hours and she is fine. On ICU but we knew she would go there afterwards so that's not because there is a problem. I will be back to read all today's comments that I have missed.
Biggest hugs in the world to you all.
One very relieved Saba XXXXX
Saba, glad your sister is out of theatre and on the road to recovery. Just take one day at a time, we are all with you and Val. take care both of you, Jess x
DeleteHi Saba, delighted to hear your news, you will be relieved and no mistake, she is in the best place on ICU she will have a dedicated nurse with her all the time. It is hard waiting but really it doesn't matter how long it takes the main thing is all has gone well. When you call back later have a latte on me.
ReplyDeleteWith love and hugs
Margaret xxx
Hi Saba, glad to hear all went well. Theresa (TOB) xx

Just helped myself to a hot chocolate,thank you.
Wishing everyone love & Hug's Lynda xxx
Hi folks
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your news Saba, can I just thank everyone soooo much for the lovely comments today. Am feeling a bit brighter despite hubby ringing to inform me they have all been put on 45days "consultation notice". Decided it was time for a glass of wine , i'll now watch the last few hours of Sue Wilson from last weekend then ring my Dad to check on him.
Thank you all for your comments ladies. Aee you bright & early tomorrow!
Michele
Hi Michele. Sorry about your husband's news. We know that there is nothing we can do to take away the worry that you are going through but we are here to listen anytime. Sue xx
DeleteSaba, so pleased to hear Val is now in ICU, she will be well looked after. Now she has to just let her body recover, baby steps for her. Thank you for letting us know, I have been thinking of you both all day. Hazel xxx
ReplyDeleteSaba, Great news and thank you for being so kind as to let us know so quickly! Praying you will all have a good nights rest! One day at a time my Friend. That's the hard bit sometimes.
ReplyDeleteLots of love, Myra xx
SABA:- so glad to here all went well with your sisters operation.
ReplyDeleteShe is in the best place with a nurse to look after her.
Been thinking about you both all day.
Gentle (((((hugs)))))
Patricia xxx
Sweet Saba. Thought Id pop back just incase there was an update on Val. Couldn't get you off my mind after I read your post earlier so I cancelled my day, what the heck, tomorrow is another day, its only a card lets face it.
ReplyDeleteIm relieved to know Val has got through her surgery and on ICU, the most important thing now is that she takes life easy until her body starts to heal. ICU is the best place for one to one nursing, and hopefully she will be offered post ICU counselling so she wont go through the trauma ICU patients can sometimes have once back home. Just want you to know both you and Val are in my thoughts and heart. Thank you for updating Sandra and allowing us to share your thought's with us to allow us to help support you.
Night night Saba try and rest well, not just for your health so that you look 'kind of.refreshed' when you see Val tomorrow... Other than that, Sandra and I have quite a few mask's we will share with you.
God bless.

ReplyDeleteHi Sandra. Sorry I forgot to say how much I like your card. I think the colours go very well together. I would not have thought of that combination but seeing it here I can see how good it is.
