Another fantastic New Home card

The card

The back of the box

The front of the box.
Good Thursday Morning Ladies,

Lynda thank you so much for your lovely 'New Home' card, I love all the details that you added to the box, especially the picture of my craft room that looks pretty much exactly like the picture you have created. Although I will add I haven't been able to sit in that yoga style pose for quite some years!  As a child always sat with my legs out to the side like a frog as I was quite flexible, well double jointed, we later discovered that It isn't good for your hips sitting that way.
Anyway I digressed, thank you so much for the lovely card, you just can't beat hand made cards, those personal details make it so special. XXX

I did as instructed and spent the day resting, not that I could do much else.  I pottered around the house emptying boxes and sorting out the contents of others.  Paul is a bit of a hoarder so I have to be crafty and catch the boxes that he is transferring to see If I can sort through and 'recycle' any of the contents, in one box today was a feather and down duvet (single) that be had when we first met.  I think 30 years is old enough for it, so I will slip it in the bottom of a clothes bank bag or one for the tip.
Old clothes are another thing we have hoarded, I must have trousers in every size, from 10 -20, I will never see size 10 again so they can all go, I find it quite therapeutic reducing the pile of boxes.
Paul did discover that the loft is fully boarded out last night so plenty of storage up there too.

I am very proud to say that both Sophie and Lucy have had offers from all of the universities that they applied to, some 'unconditional' offers too, so they are fairly much guaranteed a place, although Lucy is having seconds and is looking into apprenticeships.  I find it so hard to believe that no e of my children seem to want to leave home! Hahaha

I have to go over to the bungalow today as we have some scheduled plumbing work in the bathroom.  It will be really cold though as there is no heating as they still haven't refitted the radiators, Paul also sad that the chemical smell from the new windows is very strong. 
We have parent's evening too so it will be easier for Paul to pick me up from there to go straight to school. So a busy day for me.

Lilian I do hope that your bruises are fading and that you are starting to feel better, gentle hugs coming your way. XXX

Pat, great news about Let Pete's blood test results, so it's a thumbs up for next week, hugs to you both xxxx

Sue I am pleased to read that you are feeling better, I bet Chris really missed your voice! Hehe !! XXX

Maria I hope you are on the mend too my lovely XXX

Love and hugs to the rest of you too,

Sandra

    LYNDA- what a WOW card. I love everything little thing about it. It's one of those cards that every time you look at it you look at it you see something else.
    I hope you're beginning to feel better and that bruises from last week's fall are disappearing.

  5. Hello All, very dull here today.

    Lynda great card, very clever.

    Congratulations to the girls, getting their offers, now comes the visiting, or don’t they do that now, I remember our daughter going off on her own, and worrying all day, she ended up going to Reading and loved every minute.

    Been catching up on all the ironing, as haven’t been able to do before, thankfully it’s beginning to heal now and starting to itch like mad.

    Enjoy the rest of the day, hugs to all Lilian

    Sorry late I've been to dentist then the time just went. Plus my first comment whent cyber space.i didn't come home with any goodies yesterday from Margaret it felt funny not having a bag or two of craft stash. Mind you I think I've had my fair share of Margaret craft goodies. I won't see her now untill 1st March.as she moves out next Tuesday.
    I have commented on way down. I have to dish dinner up now Terry is wasting away he said he's starving. 🍔🍟🥖🍳🍕 HaHa?

  7. Hi Sandra and ladies.
    I'm a bit late today as I've been out most of the day Grooving in Abingdon. No dancing I might add but wish I had of been. But doing parchment crafting. I then went to see friends, came home and cooked tea. Pete had left the heating on low so it was nice and warm when we walked in.
    A fantastic card and box Lynda. I just love all the extra touches you've added.
    Congratulations to Lucy and Sophie on getting accepted at the universities they applied for. Even if Lucy decides to do an apprenticeship instead, it's a great achievement.
    Hope it wasn't to cold for you at the bungalow today and that Parents evening goes well. I'm glad you decided to go today. Mind you the girls don't have much longer at school now do they.
