Maureen's Gifts

Maureen's Flowers in a tea cup.
 
 
So Pretty!
 
Pretty Parcel

Beautiful Card!
 
 
Good Sunday Morning Ladies,
Todays post is all about our sweet Maureen, first up we have a couple of photographs of the flowers that we sent to Maureen to let her know how much be were thinking of her and loved her too!
I am so pleased that Maureen was thoughtful enough to think about taking a photograph of the flowers so that we could all enjoy how beautiful they were. I am hoping that they smelt really nice too, as I picked a collection that had freesia's in it, they are my favourite as they smell so lovely.
I hope that you get to put that Huge cup and saucer to use Maureen, it could be a large, multi wick candle or you could just refill it with flowers. I am sure that our sisters here in the café will come up with some more ideas!
Next up we have the beautiful card that Maureen sent to me last week, the experience started when I took the beautifully wrapped card out of the jiffy bag, I wanted to rip through that paper to find out what was inside, but I was very reserved and preserved the pretty wrapping to photograph, but just look at the pretty card that was hidden inside that package, so beautiful!!
Maureen has used Spellbinders Heirloom Oval, without its outer cutting edge to make the delightful frame for those pretty flowers, which are made using Creative Expressions Camellia Dies, both the Open and Complete Petal sets, both designed by Sue Wilson.
The beautiful blue that Maureen has used in the Camellias' is complimented perfectly by the pretty satin bow finished with a pearl.
Thank you so very much Maureen for the lovely card, your words were lovely too.
Well that's all for today ladies,
Enjoy your Sunday,
Love and Hugs
Sandra xxxxx

    Good morning Sandra and the Gang.
    Wow! Oh! Wow! those flowers are amazing. I am sure Maureen will use the cup again. More flowers, or as mentioned, a Multi Wick Candle.
    MAUREEN:- your card is stunning. I love the colours and fantastic design, will take some inspiration from it.

    I have set everything up ready for the day. I think we will be VERY busy ..... lots of BLACK coffee needed!!! Will someone please remember the Paracetamol.!!!
    Well, well, well, what a night last night. All the girls arriving in a Hot Air Balloon. They landed in the field just outside the hall. What an amazing sight as it landed. Poor Saba had Pine Needles in her Butt after landing in a tree. The pilot shoved her out of the plane from Germany, she missed the Balloon Basket, ended up in a tree!!.
    Hope you all got plenty to eat?? There was loads of Stovies and Mac Cheese.
    They did make an announcement telling the other guests that the "Supergrans"from the Cotswold Cafe had arrived. I have to say us Scots welcome anyone and they got a fantastic welcome.
    We all then had a wonderful evening. Great music, dancing went non-stop, so many happy people.
    Unfortunately John did not make it. I left him nursing his knees adorned with one of Margaret's Heat Bags on each knee. Audrey and I went together and had a great time. We moved the tables to accommodate our crowd. The Canadians had an absolutely Ball, up dancing, loving every minute. They really did embrace the whole "Scottish Wedding" thing. Hazel and I were delighted to see our sister Jackie and her hubby Tim came. Our youngest sister Fiona came on her own. Her hubby was looking after their children. Gillian wore her beautiful dress that was greatly admired by everyone. Gillian told me she was amazed at all the Good Wishes she had received from you all. She could not believe so many people she did not know could be so kind. The song especially re-worded for her was most welcome.
    Oh! before I forget .... who was that with the Selfie Stick!!! naughty, naughty. You certainly had lots of kilted men to choose from did you not!!!
    I better go get check we have enough coffee beans.
    See you as you stagger in, I feel there will not be much room for "new customers" today. However we will see.
    (((((Hugs))))) in the basket for those who might need them. There not for people who were a bit over indulgent ..... that was brought on by yourself!!! Ok! Ok! you can have some (((hugs))) just do don't get in that state again .... till the next time.
    See you later off to get some Paracetmol in case there is not enough. xxx

    Good morning Sandra and? What will I call the rest that call in??? Can I really call you ladies???
    Maureen, your card is gorgeous, love that die cut with all your little flowers, it's a very elegant card. Your flowers were beautiful, Sandra made a good choice.
    Morning Lynda, you are in early?, th cafe is smelling and looking lovely.
    I went to bed at 2.45, I couldnt believe it when I woke up and it's was 6.15, tried to go back to sleep, but no! It didn't work.
    Oh I bet there are some sore heads in here today, all that hot air ballooning etc you lot did last., I did laugh, but again I was having to keep it in as I didn't want to disturb the house hold, so I had a sore side again. Oh we are not going to get back to the hotel next year, we will be getting asked to leave and not come back.
    Now I can't make up my mind if we are going to have a good day here weather wise or not? At the moment it's lovely BUT I have a feeling it won't last.
    I don't know if I will be down at the hall helping clear up, or they might have enough doing that. The hall looked stunning all done up, it's amazing what nice chair covers with sashes, table covers little lights across them etc can do. Each table had a lovely basket which held a bottle of champagne, a bottle of shloer,champagne flutes, so everyone could toast the happy couple with a drink.
    They had their wishing tree on a side table which again had its fairy lights on, with all the Crystal Angels hanging from the branches and the labels with the well wishes from those who were at the meal on Thursday it all was so pretty, they will be kept busy reading all the wishes on those labels for a good hour and more, I noticed last night when the ladies were taking their Angels off some were putting more than one label back on the branch, I think they could fit all they wanted to say on just one. Oh yes their are beautiful cup cakes and some more wedding cake ( just plain vanilla sponge ) for you all from Gillian and Andrew, seeing how you missed out on the food. They were going to put a couple of bottles of champagne for tonight in the hamper, but I told them you all have been up to so much these last few days you didn't need to have another wild night. Off to have a nice cup of tea. xxx

      Hazel it looked (just had a peek in your blog) and sounded fantastic, take a bow lovely lady, all your hard work paid off.
      I've never heard of a wishing tree either but what a lovely idea.
      You rest up today and let the younger ones tidy up.
      We thoroughly enjoyed being part of Gillian and Andrews celebrations although I am still finding pine needles in my knickers!!
      Love Saba

      Oh Hazel I have just been over to your blog, wow oh wow both you and Patricia look absolutely fantastic your outfits are so beautiful and you both look so very happy too. Delighted to know you all had a wonderful time last night, so did we by the way! I have heard of a wishing tree but not with angels what a lovely idea, your Canadian visitors will be able to dine out for months on the story of last night when they get home again. Do have some rest today just remember you did an awful lot of work before the wedding so let the others do the work today. Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful pictures of such a very special occasion with us all.
      With love

    Morning Ladies-although that title seems questionable! I was waiting for the Hot Air Balloon to call for me last night- oh, the tide was in on Southport beach when you went past? Guess the sea would have ruined your dresses & gone over the tops of your wellies!

    I nearly got dressed up & said to hubby that I was waiting for my lift in the hot air balloon-he already thinks I'm slightly mad so that would have had him ringing for help.

    Maureen-the flowers are lovely and your card is stunning. I love the shade of blue you have used.


    Well, despite the Met Office saying no rain....it's raining here! At least that means no gardening. Think I'll get my housework done super early then retreat to my craft room.

      I nearly put my "big knickers " out on the washing line to guide you but quickly realised that we're on the flight path from Manchester Airport and near RAF Woodvale so thought it probably wasn't too safe!!!! Such a shame as Ioce hearing the bagpipes-we had a piper at our wedding & when my sister in law+ brother got married on Clachtoll beach they had a piper playing on the headland and all her male relatives were in kilts.

    Good morning Sandra And ladies,

    It's all quiet in the Brown household but I'm up early with wonky, achey knees so I thought I'll pop in just so you don't think I've gone AWOL and before the family turn up for a Roast Beef lunch, outside weather permitting, in celebration of my sister Beverly's birthday. Been hectic the last couple of days and I've read all the comments left. My, you ladies certainly know how to celebrate, don't you?

    Mixed media Saturday's collection outshone our dismal rainy day. Well done ladies, you exceed yourselves at every new posting.
    Weather forecast was for light occasional rain with plenty of sun. I expect they have been talking to Michael Fish! We had almost non-stop rain and no sun until 7 o'clock in the evening. Not trusting them lot again as did the washing, hung it out and whilst I was doing some light housework, didn't know it was raining and my washing had an extra rinse.

    Gillian & Andrew's wedding photos were delightful to see Hazel, the love between them shone out for all to see. And the grandchildren, how smart and happy they looked. A beautiful family you have there. So glad the evening 'do' was a happy affair, so many up dancing and enjoying themselves, that is what life is about, forget the moans, they can wait for another day.

    Oh Maureen my dear heart, what beautiful flowers! As others have said, the teacup will become very versatile in other uses. Loving your card for Sandra. so cheerful and pretty.

    Right I'm tucking into my hot buttered crumpets and a large cuppa before even the little mouse stirs in my house, then I'm off to slow roast my joint of beef and get veggies peeled and ready.

    Enjoy your Sunday ladies.
    Love & hugs

    Sorry I have been missing this last week but has not been a good week for me. Better now.
    Thank you fir all your wonderful comments on my pottery. I love doing it and find it very therapeutic. Yes Sandra the flowers were painted before the second firing. ANNE. I loved the Minion scrapbook page and the cake. My granddaughter loves the a Minions.
    MARGARET. Love your cross stitch. It's ages since I have done any but now I have had my eyes sorted perhaps I could try again. I am sure the recipient was very pleased with it.
    Well blue sky's here but don't know how long that will last. Off out to a RHS Flower Show with a friend so hope it stays dry.
    HAZEL AND PATRICIA. Glad everything went well last night. Sorry to hear John couldn't go. Hope the heat bags worked for a while.

    I think your giant teacup would work well as a foot bath, nice warm water and a touch of lavender oil!! Beautiful Card Maureen, love the camellias used as a focal element, might try that if you don't mind.
    Despite having singed eyebrows and lop sided hair, I am flying out the door to go to church so haven't time to comment properly.

    Well folks what a great time was had by all last night, sorry I didn't get in, fell asleep early. Will have to check back on last nights comments, to find out what went on with you all.
    Coffee and toast finished, money in pot, cup and plate washed up and put away.
    Will catch up later at lunch time if you have all survived.
    Take care, xxx

    Hi Sandra,
    'Morning Partgoers and those with more sense!!
    First of all, Maureen thank you for having the presence of mind to photograph your flowers. It's lovely to be able to see them. I know they brought you some joy and comfort at the time. An excellent choice, Sandra! Beautiful colours and choice of flowers and what better than a cup and saucer.
    Your card is really lovely and what an excellent idea . Love the colours too. Thank you for sharing the card with us Sandra and for choosing such a pretty gift.
    As for last night! Words fail me - that is a rare occurrence! Trouble is - we all bounce off one another! Hope Brenda's left leg is ok! Saba's eyebrows and hair may take some weeks to recover!
    Hazel - so pleased last night went well. However did you manage to get up so early this morning ? Andrew and Gillian have had a beautiful wedding which they will always remember. Your dress looks lovely and Patricia and you both look great. Lovely outfits for lovely ladies!
    Try to let the others clear up! Remember the hours it took to make the Invitations etc.
    must go as got a busy day ahead .
    Will pop back when I can,

    Hello everyone,
    Thank you Sandra for showing the photographs of the beautiful flowers. They did indeed smell gorgeous, and every time I walked past them I got a "whiff". My card was very basic, but I wanted to show my appreciation to Sandra quickly, but thank you for your kind comments. Seeing the photo of it makes me realise why I had a small tag with the word "Friend" lying on my desk. It was because I hadn't put it on the bottom of the card front - doh. Sorry Sandra!!!!
    Wow, two elegant ladies on Hazel's blog. Now I'm really going to have to pull the stops out for the retreat and have to repack my case. As you know I packed it as soon as the hotel was booked!!! lol. The action shot at the party is great as it shows the dancing in full flow.
    Well, my head is a bit thick this morning, so I'll help myself to a black coffee and nothing else, money's in the pot, and I'm lying on the settee in the back!!

    Hi Sandra
    What a shock you gave me Lynda this morning, in first in the Cafe. Patricia and Hazel must have had a good evening last night.
    Love the flowers we sent to Maureen, and what a lovely idea to have them in A teacup. Very useful for later on. Your card was lovely as well Maureen. How lucky are we as Sue and I get to see them all in the flash so to speak.
    Misused the Balloon flight to Scotland yesterday evening, I love a good dance, but have no one to dance with now, as jigging about doesn't bode well with Petes stomach since his bowel op.
    I'm glad the evening was a great success Hazel, it's a shame I missed the balloon flight. Love the idea of a wishing tree Hazel, and I'm sorry that John missed the celebrations Patricia. Hope he's feeling better today.

    Maureen, thank you for sending picture of your flowers, they look lovely. Loved Sandra's idea of a tea cup arrangement.

    Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today. I really don't know where time is going at the moment but I have finally managed to pop in and have loved seeing all of the beautiful cards and other crafts over the last few days. So many wonderful things, and Maureen's teacup flowers were gorgeous.
    Hazel, I am delighted to see and hear that the wedding went so well, I was praying for good weather for you all, it was so good to see that it was kind to you. I'm sure you are exhausted now though!
    We have had all of the grandchildren here for the last few days. It is wonderful to spend time with them but am I tired and achey today, to say the least, so I am still in bed and will be here for the day! I hope that I can get back to my normal routine tomorrow!
    Sandra, I hope you aren't stressing too much about getting everything ready for your holiday my lovely. I am more than happy to help in any way with the preparation on Wednesday instead of crafting if that will help you.
    Have a good day everyone. Take care, love Sue xx

      Hi Sue,
      Good to see you in, you make sure you stay where you are for the day or you will be playing catch up all week!
      We are playing "hunt the porta-loo" today, we haven't used it for a few years as we have been staying in mobile home with everything in and ready to go, but this year the cost of that went from £1,400 to £2,100, which is just too much for us, so we decided to go back to camping, we have got everything (almost) in place to make it as disabled friendly as possible, we have a super high air bed that is stable enough to sit on the side of, our chairs our really comfy with raised legs so I can lie back in full comfort, the rest we will just have to manage with, but we still need to find the porta-loo for those middle of the night emergencies, as I have got older it's become a nightly occurrence, if we didn't take the porta loo, I would have to get paul up to wheel me over to the toilet block, which I don't want to do, I try to be as independant as I can, although when we find the loo we need to think of a genius idea to make it higher! .....ideas on a postcard please!
      Will pop back later, to see how all the heads are from last nights escapades!
      Lynda, sweetheart, to walk in here this morning and be greeted with smell of my favourite flowers was the best treat ever, thank you sweetheart!
      Right 'a hunting we will go"!!!!

    Afternoon Sandra and all, cough, ladies!
    I have spent the morning in the garden picking up a pair of big black bloomers, fir tree branches ,pine needles everywhere ,corks and caps from various bottles. You dropped quite a few things flying up the motorway. What a view with the light burning in the night sky and Maureen hanging underneath belting out some song, sorry couldn't catch the words but saw the birds flying the other way.
    Glad your legs are still attached Brenda, would be a bit wonky otherwise. You did surprise me that you were able to keep doing so late.
    Saba ,been to church this morning I saw. Wonder if she had to go in the confession box and tell about her sins the last few days.I found a plait of hair hanging in one of our bushes, will you I send it on ?
    I have no grand kids but can understand how tired you must be today Sue so take it easy and rest up. Some one else I hope is having a rest ful day is our Hazel, You have made a Fabulous job ! Gillian and Andrew have the most Fantastic wedding and it been a joy to be with you all this year. The photos are Beautiful and your attire and everything is WoW ! I can't stop looking at Gilllian's dress, it is Lovely and I love the colour. Glad everything went well and now you can sit down and have a nice time with the relatives from abroad.
    Hope you find the porta loo, very useful for night businesses . Could you make it higher by sitting it on a little stool or something, just an idea. Have a wonderful time. Tell Paul to drive carefully ! How many of you are going ?
    Maureen- thank you for showing us the flowers we sent,t hey really look good in that big tea cup. Not sure as a foot bath do hihi can see a big candle in there one day . good job Sandra for finding them. The card you sent is so pretty, Love CAS cards, hope you don't mind if I make something similar to OH St. mum.
    We have had a gorgeous morning here and two loads of washing is hanging out, it's Sunday but have to make it when the sun is out. Throat still sore but the Amaretto last night helped, might have another tonight so I sleep better.

    Phew, finally got to the bottom having read and replied on the way down.
    I am inspired today. It was Patricia's fault, popped over to hers and saw that delicious lantern, ( not to mention her delicious husband and beautiful niece) and I want to make one. I might try and use one of Sue's festive dies. Don't know if it will work as the mini snowflake striplet is a tad too thin and the snowflake background a bit wide, but we shall see. Talking of which, I had left some dies out yesterday and when I opened up my I pad this morning the background die was inside the cover! It's magnetic and The die must have stuck to it when I put it on the table. Funny thing is though I was commenting last evening and it must have been sitting there all the time and I never noticed it, even when I closed the lid cover before I went to bed.
    Church service was lovely this morning, some beautiful hymns and a nice get together afterwards for coffee and cake.
    Off to get my Lamb Henrys in the oven now, slow roasted until they fall off the bone. I'll be serving them with a Knödel, (a german dumpling) some fresh veg. And a nice bottle of red.
    See you later

    Well I must say things are rather quiet today in here, whatever has happened to all those paracetmol tablets? What a night, delighted to know everyone had a splendid time and all those kilts looked so spectacular didn't they? But I really must say the stars of the show were Gillian, her mum and her special auntie Patricia, they all looked wonderful!
    Oh Sandra please do take things easy, don't you go over doing things before the holidays, I am sure you will get your portaloo sorted but let the others do some of the work as it is your holiday too remember.
    Maureen your flowers were so lovely and how thoughtful of you to take some lovely pictures at such a stressful and sad time, so pleased they helped you through the shock of that dreadful week. Your card is quite simply stunning I really love how you have made it, I have that Spellbinders die so if I may I will use your idea, thank you.
    Sandra you really made the perfect choice with Maureen's flowers, thank you for taking the time and trouble to send her the perfect gift at such a time from all of us.
    Well the sun did come out briefly, but has gone again, although considering they were warning us last night of heavy rain we cannot grumble too much.

Also we thought we spotted a UFO heading towards the River Forth, but it was obviously the balloon with you all. Sorry I didn't make it but I was there in spirit, mines a vodka!
    Hope everyone's head is getting better, I have spare paracetamol if you need them. Saba glad you managed to get all the pine needles out.

    Basically - George wanted to go to the coast by bus and not car. Car takes about 8-10 minutes. We went by bus - 45 minutes there. Walked for about 4 hours including a stint on the sand but he wouldn't take his socks and shoes off, so he walked on the Links, we had a 1/2 hour stop for lunch, a bit more walking then the bus back - another 45 minutes. He's asleep in the chair, I'm doing jobs which I would have done this morning!!! Excuse me while I kick him as I pass by with the hoover!!!

      MAUREEN:- Don't tell me you had good weather down there!!!
      We actually had reasonable weather till 3pm then down came the rain. Before the rain came down, Thomas (10) climbed up the ladder to clean out the gutters. John was going to do, I was to hold the ladder. Thomas said "grandpa your too old, and your knees are too bad to be doing that, I'll do it" That was Grandpa told!!! Thomas went up the ladder, did a fantastic job. Before you start to panic too much, we live in a Bungalow. Still a fair climb up for a young lad. We did not know they were coming, Robert phoned to see if they could come along. Dad was going to B&Q, they did not want to go. John took them home just after 5pm.
      Since they went I have been working on a Lantern. Saba mentioned doing one with one of Sue's Striplet Dies. I used Country Blossom Die (I think that what it's called) I am sitting with my feet up, can't be bothered getting up. I made it in Kraft Card, it's Tall & Narrow looks quite good actually. There you go Saba it can be done. I have one of Sue's new Christmas Dies, it's squarish with a circle with Santa in a Sleigh in the middle. I am going to have a go with that next.
      I am yawning like fury here, I can feel myself nodding off.

    A snippet of news for our Scottish ladies, apparently it has been on BBC Scotland news about a train crash yesterday, the line has been damaged quite badly. One train ran into the back of another train, well the train that was hit from behind was being driven by our very good friend he has rang to say don't worry he is fine, no injuries. The strange thing is a few years ago he was involved in another accident, he was out checking the line after a storm and a tree crashed right in front of his train and went through the window. Luckily he jumped the other side of his cab and was only slightly injured but the accident yesterday was in exactly the same place!
    I note Myra you have no more trips organised for us tonight but there is no mention of how your lunch went today, I hope there was no gravy spilled! Saba is cooking lamb henrys so if you need the recipe why not ask her but she is making some funny kind of dumpling too, so as she is having wine to wash it all down perhaps better wait until tomorrow to ask her just in case she gets the two recipes mixed up, you know what she is like!
    I wonder if Sandra has found her porta loo yet.
    I will be back later to see who is in.

      Margaret, this bunny is rather tired! Duracell bunny I am not to night!
      Thank you for asking - all went well today and we had no accidents with the gravy. Don't tell anyone but we had some champagne and canapés to start off with as yesterday was younger son and DIL's wedding anniversary. Any excuse - I know! We don't see them that often so it was lovely. I'm all tidied up now .
      Wow your poor train driver - what a shock. Xxx

      Margaret, I hate to hear about train accidents. Dad used to come in upset if there'd been a bad one when he was at work.
      Myra, I hope you and the family had a lovely day. You are so posh. Makes my diluted orange juice and a Ferrero Rocher look tame!!! xx

      Margaret, after the stuff you put away last night, it is possible you are seeing things. You were talking about a big white rabbit called Harvey at one point, but I'll have a look at Craft World and check it out!!! xxx

    If you'll excuse me ladies, I am worn out. I have done my hoovering and watered the orchids that people keep giving me. I don't know why, I'm not fond of house plants and certainly not orchids, but my nieces gave me one three years ago and it's still going strong, so other people have bought me them at various times. How do you say to someone that you're not keen on them? I couldn't be so rude, so now I have 5!!!!
    I'm going to wallow - like a walrus - in the bath, then go to bed and read, so I'll bid you all a fond goodnight and see you tomorrow.
    Tomorrow morning one of the young mother's from Eleanor & Zoe's school is calling and taking me out for the morning - we get on very well and her mam passed away some time ago, so I give her a cuddle now and again because that it what she misses - she is not in the best of health. I don't know if I'll get in before I go out. That's a bit confusing but I know what I mean.
    Night, night, sweet dreams, if you get up to any mischief I'll read all about it in the morning!!!
    Love Muriel xxx (still trying to think of a porta loo solution!!

    Ladies, note I am calling you ladies tonight, I might regret it later, Gillian and Andrew thank you for joining in with their celebrations, and they hope you enjoyed the cup cakes, what one of you took the small pot of stovies last night plus the gluten free oatcakes??? She said she was glad they were eaten, but please return the pot ( washed please) now they were trying to thank you in some way, so to day they released the 18 silver and purple balloons they had in the hall, so if you see a ballon that is either silver or purple you will know who it's from ( now this is true) not virtual. Sandra I spoke to our friend Vince he has refurbished a couple of narrow boats and motor homes, Ann has Parkinson's and so he know that she needs a rises toilet, he said if you make a box to the height plus 8 to 10 ins extra require it raised, make it to fit snug to the toilet but place the base board that 8-10 ins from the top strengthening underneath it should work the box can be used when you are travelling for packing things that it wouldn't matter that the toilet has been used init. He hopes it works, also if Paul is good at wood work he could make another strong box to go beside the toilet to hold stuff that is heavy but you could hold on to when getting up off the toilet, as Ann needs that. It's a pity you wheel chair couldn't adapt so that it could be made into a commode? Xxx
