A Beautiful Groovi card


Good Morning Ladies,

I am hoping that I hadn't already shared this beautiful Groovi card of Pat's,  it was getting late as I was writing this post and Pat sent me a lovely collection of cards to share with you while I was away, I wasn't able to check older posts at the time.  Anyway it's so gorgeous it's worthy of a second look!

The reason for the last minute blog post was that we ended up doing  last minute trip to Colchester, as Paul ended up finishing work at 10am due to power failure in his office.  So he suggested that we went today, I didn't say anything to mum, I thought we would surprise her. We dashed about (well Paul did) getting stuff together for the journey and we were on our way before I had time to think about it.
Mum was pleased to see us, she looked so much better than I thought she would,  she made me laugh though as she said 'I didn't bother going with that bloody physio woman today, she is too bossy, She said "I had to remind her that it's me that broke my leg, not her" !  She has agreed to go tomorrow, her Consultant actually told her to do only what the physiotherapist say though, as ahe had been overdoing it a bit.  Mum's other issue is that she is deaf, so speaks quite loud, which had Paul and I cringing while she was giving us a description of all her room mates!!
The other funny quote was "Sandra you have no idea how painful this surgery is"! I just told her that it will get easier! The Irony!!

We stayed for about 3 hours  then started the journey home,  Mum did ask if we were going again at the weekend!  I politely explained that one 320mile round trip a week is all my body can cope with!

Now Pat's card, it's so pretty,  those darling little birds are from a Groovi plate by the hugely talented Linda Williams,  I had the privilege of seeing her demonstrate this plate at the Groovi open day, as  she was colouring the bird she actually re-sharpened her pencil every other 'flick' to give the fluffy feather look.
Pat's version is just stunning, zoom in and check out the incredible 'snipping' that Pat has done, I love every element of your card Pat,  thank you so much for sharing it with us XXX

Right I'm to put my achy legs up,

Have a lovely day my dear friends,

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra

    Pat-what a stunning card, really lovely.

    Sandra-nice to be able to surprise your Mum. Her quote to the physio is priceless!!! I’m sure she’ll adapt to staying in a rehab centre and will like the attention she’ll get. Good fit you for explaining what a long & tiring journey you have.

    My day today starts with a HR meeting regarding a new member of staff-can’t say I’m looking forward to that!

  3. Morning Everyone
    OHHH PAT what a gorgeous groovy card. You definitely excel at being Groovy. I only wish my attempts would turn out something like yours.I wish we had someone close who would teach.

    SANDRA-so pleased you managed to get to visit your Mum yesterday and that you found her reasonably well.She really needs to do as her consultant says though.

    Well it's that time of year again (where has this year gone!)and we're off for our flu jabs this morning.That is a sign that Winter approaches.
    We didn't get any of the sun and warm weather yesterday at all. I was frozen all day I even thought of taking my hot water bottle to bed last night!

    The CAFE is OPEN so pop in for a cuppa and a chat. HUGS are on their way to you all. Have a good day; take care and stay safe.xxxx

  7. Hello Sandra and ladies,

    Pat your Groovi card is beautiful, the patience and concentration you have to complete these works of art is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Hope everything is alright with you and you are coping as best you can. Hugs XX

    It’s great you manage to get to see your mum yesterday Sandra. What a hero that man of yours is for suggesting you both visit her yesterday. It must have been a lovely surprise for her to see you both, thank you for sharing the ‘funny’ moments of the visit with us. The bonus of being able to go yesterday is when the weekend does come you will have the time at home - together, and who knows by then mum may have been moved to rehabilitation. xx

    Take care everyone, Love Brenda xxx
