Good Morning Ladies,
The afternoon was soon over though, but at least I get to do it all again with Pat !
Today's cards were both made using Creative Expressions ,'Necessities' Apron Die set.
It was fun using these dies, something totally different to the usual did cutting I do, I think that the possibilities are endless with this set, you could cover so many different occupations and hobbies, it will be fun to see what sets Sue designs to add to these.
I went for a pretty 'Kanban' paper from years ago for the ladies card and craft card and a background stamped with the 'Hardwood' stamp set from Stampin up, I designed it to be Dad's BBQ apron, I think it works, I hope you like it, it does show that with a simple change of papers you can transform the look of a die or stamp!
Pat, I am so saddened by your news from the hospital for Pete, he must be devastated, let's hope that he can benefit from this new drug trial and it is as successful as the last lot, I have everything crossed for you both. Huge Hugs to both of you xxxx
Janet, it dawned on me today that I didn't write in your birthday card, I remember stamping the insert and writing the envelope, Paul was waiting to take it to the post office so I was rushing. I am so sorry my lovely xxx
I hope that the rest of you are fine and well or on the mend if not !
Love and hugs
Sandra

Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteTwo fantastic cards Sandra. Yes, it will be interesting to see what add on dies Sue brings out for the Apron die.
Yesterday went fast-we had 10 people turn up for the interviews so we've scored all the responses. Once we've finished the remaining interviews today we'll review everyone's answers, check we all agree then it'll be time to let two people know they can work in Pharmacy!! Luckily I don't do the phoning-everyone that attended must be contacted with either a job offer or an explanation of why they didn't make it. My "chocolate teapot " boss will do that job!!
I was shattered last night so I just read my book then had a bath & an early night. No such luck tonight as I got a card to say there's a parcel waiting for me do I'll collect that after work then go on and do the Tesco shopping.

Morning Everyone
ReplyDeleteFirst I must say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you for your beautiful bday cards which arrived on the correct day YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. My unit is full of beautiful colour, shape but most of all LOVE from you all.
K&N was OK. We were down on numbers for various reasons so the card to make was done in a jiffy and so lots of laughs and chatting. We had a quiet night in and so I start another year.
PAT- I'm so sorry that it wasn't good news yesterday. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and hopefully Pete can get on the trial drug. HUGE HUGS to you both.
Today's jobs are changing the bedding and getting it washed and put away; emptying my K&N bag; finding a box to fit the decorated heart I did a few weeks ago as it's time to get it posted to France and then probably falling into my chair for some feet up time.
SANDRA- I just knew it was your card when I opened it so you didn't need to write in it lol.
The CAFE is open for business and just waiting for you all to pop in for a sit and a natter. Hugs on their way to all of you. xxxx
Hi Sandra and all,
ReplyDeleteSandra such cute cards today. I must admit I had dismissed this die as not my type but looking at it made up mmmmm might just change my mind!!
Off to the docs later for my annual Spanglish assessment of my medication. Just a formality really then he issues me with another years forms. So glad I got my new Health Card yesterday.
After that it's crib afternoon, the last one until I'm back from UK as next Wednesday I'm going on a coach trip with Wendy and another Val from craft class. I can't remember the name of the place we're going to visit so it will be a nice surprise when I get there ha ha.
Pat, thinking of you and Pete and sending special hugs. Xxx
Hugs also to those not feeling so good today.
Bye for now.
Love Valxxx
Morning Sandra and everyone.
ReplyDeleteFabulous apron cards Sandra, love them both and I can see to have this die set for myself :)
Sending many hugs to you Pat and Pete and am so sorry you didn't got any better news. You take care and know we are here for you both.
Soon out of the door for spending the day with OH step-mother in Stamford, she lives in a beautiful place but we will be spending 5/6 hours for lunch at 'the George' and it will be my worse day for a long time.

Off for a snooze and as I'm home alone (all night!) I will then be crafting until the small hours with complete control of the remote
Hi Sandra
ReplyDeleteAs you can imagine it's a bit glum in our house at the moment. Thanks for all your good wishes. Craig was here when I got home from Sandra's. We've had problems with iur tap in the kitchen. God knows what Craig did as he filled the kettle up and the tap just went round and round and wouldn't shut off. Managed to sort it of sorts so tomorrow Petes off to buy a new tap. Hopefully Craig will come round to change the tap for us as Pete can't see to do it with his eyes. No hot water until we get the new tap fitted.
Love your cards Sandra.
Lovely Sandra, nice to see you again
