The last two TicTacToe Challenge cards from FB Ladies

Good Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you are all ok, how's the weather over there?.  We had a bit of a cloudy overcast day yesterday, which we really didn't mind as we were all happy to sit and read, play games etc.  We also had to go and do a big food shop, we always go on the first /second day to stock up on bottled water, fruit, crisps and snacks  to take to the beach each day.  We always take meat etc with us in our electric cooler (which plugs in to car etc), that way it costs us less as meat is more expensive out here, it is better quality but it's a lot more expensive and with the poor exchange rate for Euro it makes it even worse. 

Anyway we managed to get all stocked up for the  next week /10 days, which means Paul doesn't have to drive anywhere, so he can totally relax too. 

The camp site shop/ bakery is well stocked and unusally is very reasonably priced, milk, bread, yoghurts etc same price as large supermarkets. 

The other real money saving thing that we do is Buy Icecreams/ lollies etc by the box and fill the freezer, so we pay no more than 3 or 4 Euros for a box of 4 or sometimes 6 icecreams as apposed to paying almost €3 for 1 !!!

We finished our day with a lovely home cooked steak and Chips dinner with Garlic Mushrooms, followed by an evening of games.  Perfect !!

Now onto those STUNNING TicTacToe Cards from the two Susan's!

Susan Dawson's Easel Card 

Using Categories:  Birthday/Vintage/Feminine 

The first card is just perfection, it's absolutely gorgeous,  so much beautiful detail, without being over the top. The flowers and arranged perfectly around the stunning vintage portrait,

I love how Susan has added the 'With Love' label style on the side of the card too.

Such an inspirational card Susan, thank you so vert much for taking part in the Challenge.  XXX

Susan Lawson's Card

Using Categories:  Die cut/Favourite Colour/Feminine 

Susan has used a beautifully intricate die to cut the the main focul point of her card, the base cut in that pretty shade of purple, then the intricate detailed part die cut in white with a pretty floral  paper behind the lacy panel.

This pretty piece was mounted onto a pretty purple card base, with a die cut label for the sentiment centred beneath. 

Susan finished the card with a simple white bow.

Absolutely beautiful Susan. 

Thank you so very much for taking part in the Challenge. XXX

Margaret, i was saddened to read your news, although now that you are under the care of the Parkinson's team, which I believe have an excellent reputation, you can get the treatment to get your life back on track. I know first hand how frustrating and deeply upsetting it is seeing your partner/loved ones tiring themselves doing the things that you used to do and enjoyed doing.  I think that that one think is the hardest for other people to fully understand.  Even if they say they don't mind doing it  you can see that they are struggling.   Then there is the frustration that they don't quite do it to the same standard  as you did!! Hahaha.

I think it's so wrong that you have had to wait so many months to see this team but I am excited to see how they can help you get your strength back.  

Sending you the hugest, squishyest hug and lots of love Margaret xxxxxxxxx

That's all from me today ladies 

Have a lovely day, however you are spending it,

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra
