Good Morning Ladies,
I recently bought a really paper pad called Magnolia Lane by Ultimate Crafts, I got the 6 x 6 pad first, loved it so much I had to buy the 12 x 12 too, although I could only find it at Create and Craft, I quickly ordered another one before their birthday free postage ended. So now I have one to use and one to stroke !!
I mixed the 6 x 6 pad with some kraft card and a few flowers, some Scrimpy's Lace and a few pearls. I quite like the look, lots of layers built up.
What do you think?
Pat and Sue are coming over today which I am really looking forward to, I am so grateful for the amazing friends that this blog has bought together. xxx
I hope that you have a lovely day,
Love and hugs
Sandra

Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteSandra-lovely card, the pearls make all the difference on it.
Another lovely sunny day here, not that I'll see much of it stuck in work al day. I have a meeting first thing until 10am which will no doubt be the usual waste of time!! Then we have a busy chemotherapy clinic then we usually try & prepare for the following week on Wednesday afternoons.

HI MICHELE
DeleteI hope your meeting wasn't too boring this morning,& you wasn't rushed off your feet afterwards. Have a relaxing evening xx
Good morning everyone.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sandra. Just love the papers and the lace is fabulous.
Another sleepless night but not aching so much today thank goodness. I think I've got to take it day by day.
Sad news last night. My daughter and son in law live out here in Spain and although Paul is from London, his mum moved to Jersey to be near his sister. Well, she was taken int hospital yesterday and Pauls been told she only has a few days left. Theyve been looking uo flights from Alicante to Gatwick then Gatwick to Jersey. The earliest one is in the early hours of Friday morning withva 5 hour stopover at Gatwick. We're hoping its in time. Although his mumis still in her 70's she had a really bad fall a couple of years ago and damaged her leg very badly, made worse beacause shes diabetic. Actually sh's gone downhill since then and this last fProblem seems to be kidney failure. Its a good job we don't know whats in store for us isn't it?
I'll pop back later to see how everyoneone is.Hopeball you ladies not feeling so well and Stan of course, are feeling a lot better and brighter today.
Love Val x
Good morning Val - I'm so sorry to hear the very sad news. It doesn't matter what age it's always too early for them to leave us. I really do hope that your SIL makes it in time. My Heart and prayers are with you all my Dear Friend. Yes it really is a good thing that we don't know what's round the next bend. Hugs xxxx

DeleteMorning Everyone - Sorry I'm late but I'm still trying to get up to speed being back!
ReplyDeleteSANDRA - what can I say other than WOW WOW WOW!!!
Your card is just beautiful and definitely my kind of luxury. I must try and get hold of that paper pad even though I've got enough to set up shop as I'm sure many of us have.
Enjoy your day you Three Graces and please try and get some crafting in as well as all the laughter.
I've got to try and get this week's CC started at least today as there's a few other crafting jobs need doing. We have a glorious sunny morning here though what the temp is I haven't a clue as I've not put my nose out of the door yet. I was frozen all day yesterday while my Granddaughter Pippa got sun burnt! She's only about 10miles away from me in Rotherham!
Right everything is set - coffee pot on -check. Kettle boiled - check. Home made biscuits in the tin in the cupboard -check and the cupboard key is in the usual place just so you know Maria hehehe.
Hugs are in the basket all ready to be used and I'll try and pop in later to see you all. Have a good day xxxx
Thanks for setting everything up Janet. I pinched a biscuit but had to pick the lock as Maria hasn't been in yet.
DeleteGood luck Janet with the Challenge Card, I finished mine today so must take picture. HOPE you get all the other crafts done as well.

Hi Maria
ReplyDeleteYou didn't say how you got on at the Drs today?. It was you who hid the rest of the biscuits was it. I wondered where they went.
My dear friend, I told you yesterday that I'm going for some blood test tomorrow pm hihi and about the biscuits I only put a few away for Karen. If any others gone you know who the culprit is,
Deletedon't you ? Hope you had fun with the girls.
On Hochanda is a new program about 'Vintage' 10am
tomorrow and one in the afternoon. It might be interesting to watch.
Hope to get to one of our garden centres in the morning with a friend. Looked after their pets when they went away for a few days. Don't like the bunny much, he's evil hihi but their cat is gorgeous, getting old now do and losing it's teeth, bless her
Please, let us all have a good night and that Mr Sandman not jumping over anyone of us tonight.

Hello Everyone,
ReplyDeleteWe viewed two flats today. First was just not suitable,looked lovely but NO storage space, even taking a suitcase in world have made it look overcrowded! The second my sister really liked, but was on the 4th floor, even though there was a lift it could have issues (she is a few years older than me)
Anyway I do not want to drive you all to boredom. The flat we viewed last week - the owner has agreed to the rental offer we made, its ground floor level and the security is better. So that is the one she is going for.
I will try to drop in tomorrow, but I have to go into London with some paper work for the property agent in the morning. in the afternoon we are on the school run. So it's another busy day ahead. I thought when I retired life would move at a slower pace....... Ha, ha
I hope everyone has had a good day, Sleep well, love Brenda xxx
Glad your sister found somewhere suited for her, that was quick after all. Take care, many hugs xxx
