I hope that you have all enjoyed the gorgeous Bank Holiday weather that you were treated to, it makes such a difference to a Bank Holiday if the weather is good. Mind you it sounded like the heat was little over whelming for some of you which I totally understand.
Yesterday we started off the day on the beach as usual then as the wind picked up at about 2pm we packed up and headed for the grassy area around the pool, the girls and Lewis enjoy it as they can connect to the internet, although I have to say they aren't on it all the time like I thought they would be, they seem to much prefer playing Uno together or going to play Basket ball of Football.
Paul and I laid and read our books, I am on my second one, this is an 'actual' book that was in the 'free books, help yourself section' in our Holiday Reps tent. The book is called 'Casa Clara' by Kate McCabe, in short it's about a Girl who leaves a messy life in Ireland to start over in Fuengirola in Spain, it's quite a nice read. The last one I read on my Kindle was about a girl who left a messy relationship in UK to help her parents renovate to Gites that were in the grounds of their home in France ready for the tourist season, as you may predict she ends up falling in love with the guy that is doing the renovation, that is a very simplified synopsis, it was a lovely read and I felt a little sad when it was finished. I always find it hard moving on to a new book.
Paul managed to finish his too, he really enjoyed it.
Today's card is another of those 'Spotlight' cards that we all made as part of a weekly challenge a few weeks back.
I used a topper from one of the 'Lilli Of the Valley' art pads from many years ago, I have always loved the images, I just used to stroke them and put them back in the box!
I teamed this one with this gorgeous pink from SU which matches perfectly, I kept it simple with embellishments as I think the image is pretty enough without any further fuss.
I must go as everyone is getting is ready to go out and giving the 'look' !!
Have a lovely day my lovelies,
love and hugs to all you,
Sandra

Thanks so Michele, hope all is well with you xxx
DeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDRA Have you got anything special planned but like me you’re just pleased that you have family around
ReplyDeletePretty card SANDRA I have a Victoria Nelson image of a bicycle with flowers cascading down I love it
I am so pleased that it’s a bit cooler and at the moment there’s a slight drizzle It was so hot in my craft room that I didn’t do much crafting at all But I have finished a Twiddle Muff which I’ll photograph later and send
Take care all xx
Hi Karen, thanks so much for your Birthday wishes, you are right, we have nothing particularly planned, we were expecting it to be overcast and stormy but if changed overnight and it's a glorious Sunny Day, so we are off to the beach. I hope it cools down enough for you to craft my lovely xxx
DeleteMorning Everyone
ReplyDeleteHAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDRA. Hoping you have a wonderful day and that the family have one or two surprises for you today.
K&N was good but oh so hot even though we had all the windows and doors open. We hold it in a room in our local library and it's quite a large room so enough for us all to have space to craft.All of us were drained after two hours.
It's a little cooler this morning and the sun isn't shining as yet so perhaps a better day.I still need to do my CC so hopefully that's the plan for today.
The CAFE is OPEN ready and waiting for you all. Plenty of ices in the freezer and cold drinks in the fridge.
HUGS are winging their way to you all.Have a good day.Take care and stay safe xxxx
