Pretty cards by Margaret & Janet today





Good Tuesday Morning Ladies,

Just a quick post today as I am writing this just as I finish sorting most of my craft room, my goodness what a task!  I have been a little more ruthless than i have been in the past, my rule was 'if i haven't used it in the last two years then I'm not likely to use it in the next two' apart from dies and stamps of course, but maybe they should be next!  I didn't mind staying in my craft room to finish it last night because Paul and the girls watch a horrible series together on a Monday night called The Walking dead, it's their little bonding time!  It's far to violent for me, I prefer a world of butterflies and rainbows! Haha. I finally cleared my desk at 11.30pm! I will take a photo in the daylight, my arms couldn't hold the camera tonight! Haha

I wanted to share Margaret's Stampin Up card, she has created the backing paper herself, which is fantastic, i live the colours you have chosen too Margaret, such a pretty card, thank you so much for sharing, i look forward to seeing many more! Xxx

I'm not sure if I have posted this card from Janet before, either way I love it, so pink and girly, I love that label shape Janet, the flowers ard stunning and match the topper perfectly, the stick pins add a touch of luxury to the card.  Thank you Janet for sharing your cards xxx
I hope your first morning at Marigny is a sunny one, now you can relax after that super Busy week you had last week. Xx

Sending hugs to all  Of you ,
Sandra 
Xxxxxxx

    Morning Ladies

    Two beautiful cards-both really lovely.

    Sandra-goodness, it's sounds like you had another busy day. I like the new rule-I might have to start using that one myself.

    Another busy day ahead-looks like we're close to getting the Aseptic Unit handed back to us. Allegedly it's going to be tomorrow afternoon...!!
    Then the fun begins-days & days of testing with about 10 days for the results to come back. I think we'll start slowly moving stuff into the new unit. I'll take some photos of it while it's empty (so there's no chance of compromising patient confidentiality).

    Hi Sandra and everyone.
    Beautiful cards from Margaret and Janet. Love them both 🙂
    Well done Sandra on your craft room clear out. It's always such a difficult task isn't it? My craft cupboard is bulging at the sides and if I'd had the time I would've cleared mine before decorating. For now it'll have to stay as is, as I try to move it into the middle of the dining room to enable the last of the decorating to be done. Got a mammoth task ahead of me today as I'm back to work tomorrow! Had an easy day yesterday as decorating was the last thing on my mind with waiting to hear that Luke had arrived safely in Barcelona after over a 2 hour flight delay. It's the first time he has flown and as he was getting on the plane he sent me a text saying he was absolutely pooping (words to that effect 😁) himself!! I tracked his flight on line and when he landed his text came through that he was there and the flight was "really cool" 😀 Such a relief, I know he's nearly 18 but you never stop worrying about them.
    Janet, I hope you have a lovely time in Marigny x
    Hope everyone is keeping well. Sending love and hugs to all xxx

      Hi Sonia, hope he have a great time in Barcelona. Funny enough we have been looking at it for a short break in a few months. My son is 25 and I still worry if he goes away so yes, you always will xx

    Morning everyone,

    Such pretty cards Janet & Margaret, lovely spring colours used.
    Heavy rain last night, just what the lawn needs after the scalping I gave it yesterday. Only did the one area and boy that was hard enough. Jamie came home with a surprize, his stepmother has moved and in the shed she found an old Suffolk Punch petrol lawn mower, so he brought it home to do bottom of the garden. I now have a lovely view of tidy lawns. Now to tackle the borders and mulch them ready for the perennials to start pushing through.
    Busy day today sorting out some more donated material for the panto costumes, what I can't use will be going to members of our sewing craft club for their quilts or patchwork.
    Have fun a t the Ally Pally, those of you who are going, another year I cannot make it due to pre-booked arrangements. Craft4Crafters have another show at Shepton Mallet which I will be going to with another 3 crafters. I hope Lili fabrics will be there, I need to replace my 'lost and not found' material for Pete's memory pillow cases. It has really upset me losing them, I had chosen them for him and now they are forever gone.
    Hugs to all our poorly ladies and especially for those family members who are slowly recovering.

    Love 7 hugs
    Cheryl xxx

      Oh Cheryl I hope you!re able to replace the fabric BUT I hope that the originals turn up I'm still looking for my preemie cardigans

      Hi. CHERYL and KAREN, don't give up hope of finding your misplaced fabric and cardigans. Once I thought I had looost my rings, also an 18 ct chain and matching bracelet. I have a bad habit of removing jewellery when I'm downstairs pooping it into a tissue which then goes into my pocket. I convinced myself that I had put them in the rubbish. Months later I found them in a carrier bag on the back of my craft room door, inside a small jewellery box. I had put them there because we were having workmen in who were strangers to us, and obviously forgot what I had done. So don't give up. xxx

      I am really having problems today, think I have a lot of static electricity in my body, every time I touch a key the letters keep repeating themselves . I have just dictated this message just to see if it works. Ha ha xx

    4. Val Jones4 April 2017 at 12:24

      Oh Cheryl I do so hope you find your missing material and I'm sure it will come to hand eventually and in a place you least expect it.
      Allan bought me a cross to go on a chain I have and whilst I was staying with my brother a few years ago I was going out for the evening and replaced it with another pendant. When I got back that evening I couldn't find the cross. We looked everywhere, moved furniture, emptied bins, searched drawers etc but sadly I couldn't find it and had to come back to Spain without it. About 3 months later I was doing my weekly clean of my bedroom when I saw something shiny on the floor under the bed and guess what, it was my cross. I don't know how it got there. I have my own idea of course..God moves in mysterious ways. So please don't give up hope. Love Valxxx

      Such a shame you haven't found the material but like the other saying it will probably pop up one day in a real unlikely place. I once put a key in a safe place, so safe it was gone for years. changing soil in my pot plants one day, yes you guessed it. There was the key, now all rusted up :) we all do it. Have fun when you go to craft 4 crafters. hugs x

      Hi Cheryl
      I hope your able to replace the material you can't find to make Petes pillows.
      Once it's been replaced you can bet your bottom dollar it will show up.
      I ought to really mow our lawns for Pete but with this cough just can't summon up the energy to do so.

    Hello Sandra and everyone

    Two beautiful cards today, Margaret I love how you have created the background for this beautiful card. XX
    Janet love your very feminine card. I don't believe Sandra has shown this one before, it really is beautiful. Hope you have arrived safely and managed to unpack Yvette. Now she can have a well and rest. XX

    Sandra it sounds as if you really have had a blitz In your craft room, it is difficult but you have to be strong and just go for it. I have to confess there are times I've given in and kept things.. Then later on you realised you still haven't touched them. But you have to be in The right frame of mind when you start on such a task.
    Hope all three graces have managed to meet up today and are being productive.

    Sending love and hugs to everyone, Brenda XXX

      No meet up today I'm afraid. Sandra wore herself out clearing out her craftroom. Sues joints are playing up. If Sandra had been up to it I would have gone over there.

    Hi Sandra
    I love the card that Margaret has made with her Stampin up stamps. Love the colours as well Margaret.
    I don't think that you've shown Janets card before either. Love the card and the colours Janet
    By now I think you should have arrived in Marigny and hopefully unpacked.
    Still hacking today after 7 weeks it had virtually gone. But has now come back but not quite as bad.

    Hi Sandra and ladies.
    Sandra, well done on tidying your Craft room and having a real good clear out. Hope you're not too tired today. Would love to see some photos of your finished room. If you're meeting up with Sue and Pat today have a great time.

    Margaret. Lovely card. Your really getting to grips with the stamping. It's so lovely.
    Janet. Your card is beautiful. Love the pretty flowers and the stick pins. Hope you had a good journey and have arrived safely and settled in in Marigny.

    Just got back from having my hair and nails done. I feel well and truly pampered.

    Pat, Lynda and OH's. Thinking of you all.

    Bye for now. Valxxx
