Mixed up Saturday

Good Morning Ladies,

I have lots of lovely crafts to share with you today, so without further delay I will get straight down to business.........
Val

Val's lovely daughter Lynn made her this amazing Framed Wall Art to hang in her Craft room, I cannot think of a truer statement for you Val, I see that you have passed those creative genes on too! 
Thank you so much Val for sharing your lovely gift with us and Lynn for being so creative XXX 

Ciara

Brenda's beautiful Granddaughter Ciara takes after Grandma when it comes to making cards, always amazing works of art, this card that Ciara made for her friend Iona uses letters from The Works, that Ciara coloured beautifully with Alcohol Markers to match the rest of the embellishments, those lovely roses look like 'Brenda's Special' handmade roses.  This card is very 'classy' and grown up Ciara, your friend Iona will love it, I hope you have an amazing time at the 'Spa Party', we would love to hear all about it later on (if you have time).  Thank you so much Sweetheart for sharing another of your Amazing cards to inspire us all XXX

Cheryl



Cheryl recently became the very proud owner of her Paternal​ Grandfather's​ Medals, Cheryl you must be over the moon and incredibly honoured to have such a treasure.

We can also see the next couple of pages of Milly-May's Memory Album, so beautifully decorated, featuring the Christening and the fun memories
too, being caught in the act of something mischievous, such an amazing gift to treasure.

Lastly from Cheryl, a surprise gift from her Mum for the Panto Costume Team, a very useful Overlocker, what a thoughtful and hugely beneficial gift, you must be over the moon Cheryl. 
Thank you so very much for sharing all of your Amazing news and Milly-May's album with all of us Cheryl XXX

Lynda






Lynda has kindly shared photos of her beloved pets...

First is the adorable Bambie, she is smiling in the first photo, making her even more adorable. 
Next up is Freddie, Lynda often adds to his name but we'll use the short version today! He is a stunning looking bird Lynda, how old is he? His colours are just incredible especially that bright flash of orange, I can tell you are very proud of him.

The last pet is Lynda's favourite, she's had him for years, he's perfectly house trained, a very loyal pet too, Lynda takes him out most days and he has regular trips to the groomers to get those Grey Whiskers clipped, you can tell that Terry is Lynda's favourite pet because she lets him sleep on her bed, although he does snore a little, but that is quite typical for this breed.  Give Terry a stroke for us Lynda !! 
Thank you so much for sharing your much loved pets with us Lynda, they are all adorable XXX

I hope you have enjoyed browsing through the lovely photos today ladies, thank you so much to those of you that took part too. 

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra

    Val-love your sign, it's funny but probably true!

    Brenda/Ciara-brilliant card, its lovely.

    Cheryl -your memory book is looking brilliant.

    Lynda -nice to see your pets. I own one similar to the third photo, only mine has less hair!

    Busy day yesterday with a few surprise new patients needing treatment so I was glad when it was 5pm. Called at my Dads with his shopping and Fish & Chips for him then finally got home. Quick change then off into Southport to meet Brother in Law for dinner -we went to a Chinese restaurant . Nice meal and we were able to chat for a while then we left him to go to his hotel (his choice to book into a Hotel) so as soon as we were home I quickly loaded up the washing machine so I was late up to bed then typically I haven't slept!!

    It's the village Gala Day today & we have glorious sunshine for once. I'm meeting a friend (with her dog) and we're going to stroll around the village then grab a coffee so we can chat.

    We really need to do some weeding as the borders look a mess and the forecast is for rain tomorrow.

    3. Hi Michele
      Enjoy your day at the Gala and meeting your friend for coffee. Supposed to be not so nice next week, so I hope Pete gets his carrots in soon. Not supposed to do gardening without wearing gloves, but he informs me you can't plant seeds with thick gloves on. My idea being he didn't plant any at all. How wrong can you be.

    4. Hi Michele
      Glad you liked all my. Pets HaHa. Hope you enjoyed the Gala. Enjoy your weekend xxx

  3. Hi Sandra and all in the Café today.
    I had a shock when I came in to the Café just now and realised I hadn't been in yesterday, especially when I saw my card! Thank you for all of your very kind comments about it. I must give our wonderful Sandra full credit though as she talked me through making it, thank you my lovely 😊 I know you will be counting down the days until your new Stampin' Up goodies arrive, can't wait to see what you create x

    Val, I love your sign, your daughter clearly knows you well 😊 x

    Ciara, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful card. I'm sure Iona will be thrilled to receive her lovely personalised card 😊 x
    Brenda, thank you for sharing Ciara's card. I know you are so proud of her. BIL is doing as he is told, relaxing and enjoying being back at home with his lovely wife and dog after such an emotional day last Saturday! X

    Cheryl, how wonderful that have your Grandfather's medals to treasure. I love these pages, so delicate and pretty but leaving the photos to take centre stage. What a great gift from your Mum. I'm sure you will be putting it through its paces with the panto costumes 😊 x

    Lynda, thank you for sharing the pictures of your lovely pets. What a great smile from Bambi and its clear to see how well cared for Freddy is, his colours are stunning. Having met your third pet several times I can vouch just how well trained and friendly he is 😊😊😊 x

    I must send you a pic of our Beardy Sandra. I have written a note to remind myself to do it today!
    I hope you are all having some sun today, it is lovely here, at the moment anyway. I'm feeling much better today which is a good thing as I was trying to find a new roll of red liner tape last night without any luck so you know what I will be doing before anything else today don't you!!!
    Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for all in need. Take care xx

    Don't like taking time off as I hate having those stupid meetings if ur off too long! They're quite stressful x

  7. Hello ladies,
    Great sign on your wall Val.
    Ciara- lovely CAS card. Your friend will love it.
    Cheryl- lovely photos of Milly-May in the book. Nice medals after your granddad to treasure and what a brill present from your mum. Great help for making all the costumes.
    Lynda- you did make me smile. Bambi looks a bit like the dog from Mask tihi and alright, I have to say that S---leg do look handsome . Your third pet is one I like the most tho even if he snoring. Have one myself as you know. Glad yours is house trained, mine is dropping/spilling stuff lately some terrible. Might move him outdoors if it gets any worse.
    Sunny so I will go with a coffee out on the patio for a little while. Need to think of a CC but so far nothing....:( Been out in the shops this morning after our walk so the morning gone very quickly. Have a lovely day everyone. Love and hugs ,Maria xxx

    1. Enjoy your sit on the patio Maria. Ours is full of weeds at the moment. No point in weeding as we have a firm coming to lay some imprinted concrete. The front drive is being done. The path down the side of the house, plus we're our patio is at the moment. Craig is in the process of taking some up out the front as he's going to use some to build a wall.

    2. Hi Lynda
      Thanks for the hugs. I'm at school all day tomorrow. Then it's back to the hospital grindstone. It's great meeting your third Pete and he certainly does make us laugh.

  9. Hello Sandra and all.

    Saturday treats again - we are truly blessed.

    VAL Your Wall Art really made me smile, so apt for most of us. Lynn is obviously taking after mum. Thank you for sharing.xx

    CHERYL Love the new pages that you have added to Milly-May's memory album. WOW the overlocking machine is going to be a brilliant addition when it comes to making all of the costumes. What a thoughtful Mum you have.xx

    LYNDA What can I say about your pets, Bambi look adorable (is he smiling because Terry is telling on of his jokes?) Freddie .... legs is beautiful, does he talk? Now your third pet 'Terry' I know you have worked hard training him, but he does have a mischievous side, one time at AP he went around to everyone checking what they had in their packed lunch, knowing full well you had his lunch in your bag, and his jokes !!!!! Oh yes ..... he is very entertaining. AND a good sport, for letting you share his photo with us. xx

    I have to say Ciara's card for Iona actually looks better in the 'flesh' I was really impressed, it's lovely. Monday she is off to Normandy on a school trip, returning Friday. By coincidence her Daddy is also going, but he goes tomorrow, they are even staying in the same town! Can't remembering how many Black Taxis are taking part (it an annual charity event) they are taking Veterans, visiting war graves etc. The Black Cab drivers do lots of charity work. He seems personally to get a lot out of these events.

    Must get back to my CC if Sandra is ever to receive it !!!!!

    Love and Hugs to all, Brenda xxx

    I have had a good day, went to Marlborough with a friend to listen to an author talking about his book, he is John Lewis- Stempel the book The Running Hare. For a lover of the countryside this is a must read very well written & almost poetic, didn't feel like cooking so had a takeaway. Sorry no CC from me this week just have not had time.
    Tracy & Lilian hope your backs feel better soon, take care.xxx
    Sue pleased you feel better love you.xxx
