Good Morning Ladies,
Firstly please join me in wishing our lovely Val a Very Happy Birthday, I hope that you feel up to doing something fun with Lynn & Paul, sending Huge Birthday Hugs Sweet friend xxxx
Today's cards are the last of Karen's 'Shades Of' Cards, the first is hilarious, such a brilliant idea for a funny card for men Karen, I love the quote you have picked too, this card was a request from Karen's daughter for a colleague. Although I will openly admit I was expecting something quite different when Karen titled it her ''Shades Of Grey'' card.!!
Karen's second card (3rd Challenge card) Is 'Shades Of Lilac'', this is the card that Karen made for her lovely Mother-In-Law, Karen said that she absolutely loved the card and I can see why, it's a lovely design, in lovely colours. I love that Frame die that you have used Karen and your Sparkly Dragonflies add the perfect finishing touch.
Thank you Karen for 2 more amazing Challenge Cards xxx
I spent yesterday afternoon in my craft room, frustratingly my heart was playing up all through the night/early am so I got very little sleep, so yesterday morning was slow going for me, I pottered around doing a few bits with the girls but kept having to go lie down as I was exhausted.
The afternoon was spent making a Valentines card for Paul, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I know it's all a bit gimmicky but I love any opportunity I have to tell that man how much I love and appreciate him, I say it all the time but days like this allow you to go overboard.
I don't think we will get to have any romantic meals for two though as Lucy is single, Sophie's boyfriend has gone to New York for work, so I think that means it will be a romantic meal for 4, which is nothing new! They will ask for steak, I can guarantee it, I would prefer a take-away as it means no cooking or washing up!! Actually an idea came into my head, maybe we could get the girls to cook for us!! (the only downside would be a disastrous mess in the kitchen and we would still have to wash up) We will have to see....watch this space!!
I hope that you are all having a better week, it hasn't been the best start to the week for a lot of you, I hope that things start to pick up and that the week ends better than it started.
I want to send HUGE hugs to those of you that are struggling and in pain xxxxx🤗
Sending L❤ve and hugs to you all,
Sandra

Hi Sandra and ladies
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Val. I hope you have a fantastic day.
Lovely cards Karen. Especially love the Shades of Gray card. But then I am biased aren’t I.
A novel thought Sandra why don’t the girls cook and wash up. But I know that’s not your style.
I’m assuming you never got back to the Drs re medication for your AF as you said you weren’t going to after reading the after effects it can have. Mind you if you read what Pete’s medication could do to him he wouldn’t be here now as most of it could have killed him. But it didn’t.
I think I remember you saying you were going to get an appointment with your new Dr. I don’t remember you saying that happened.
Gentle hugs to all that need one today.
Hi everyone.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your birthday wishes and for all the hand made cards you sent. They'll all beautiful and in pride of place on my sideboard.
Today's the first day I've been out of Bedford 3 days. This chest infection and flu symptoms have really got to me. I feel as weak as a kitten. My back feels fine. These tablets make me feel like a zombie but they take the pain away. All today's plans have been cancelled but instead my lovely daughter is making a nice meal for us for later and she's made my favourite desert - sherry trifle.yum
Love your cards Karen. How lovely that your mil enjoyed it so much.x
Hugs to all.
Love Valxxx
Hello Sandra and ladies,
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY VAL I hope you enjoy your special day, sorry to read you’ve been stuck in Bedford for three days, it sounds like that chest infection really knocked you out, I hope it doesn’t stop you enjoying your birthday. I also love sherry trifle haven’t had it for ages, my lot don’t like it, mores the pity. So if I made it I would have to eat it all myself ! (I promise you that wouldn’t be difficult either)
KAREN two lovely cards. The shades of Grey is a brilliant idea.xx the one for MIL is gorgeous, treasure the memory of her enjoying your special cards. xx
Hope you have a lovely meal this evening Sandra, one of these days your girls will surprise you and prove they know what the kitchen sink is for !!! I DID NOT SAY WHEN !!!
My dear sister is still in hospital she was put back on Oxygen again yesterday as she was having breathing difficulties. Last night she was saying what a great life she had had, thanking everyone for caring, in fact she sounded somewhat tipsy. I rang her this morning at 9am she was up showed and dressed and waiting for a porter to take her to the hospital hairdresser and was as bright as can be, I will ring her again later to see what sort of a day she has had.
We have had lovely sunshine today, what a difference it makes to everything when it is bright and sunny. xx
Take care everyone, love and hugs, Brenda xxx
