Mixed Up Saturday

Good Saturday Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you are all enjoying the weekend, I feel very blessed, as our 28th Wedding Anniversary is today, so lovely that it's a weekend so that we get to spend the day together, we haven't really planned anything  much, I will take Paul breakfast in bed as he brings me a cup of tea every morning,  we have a few jobs to do around the house and garden, we are going out for a meal tonight too, which I am looking forward to.

I must say that although life has been hard and frustrating for me with health and mobility problems, I can honestly say that I feel so lucky, I get to spend my life with the kindest, most caring and loving man, who I love so very much, I doesn't matter how much time we spend together it never seems enough.  I still get excited when he is on his way home each day!  We have always made a point of not waiting for anniversaries or special occasions to tell each other how we feel, I think that is so important. 

Sorry for the soppiness!! 

Onto today's post, 

Karen

Karen was kind enough to share some photo's of  'Team Gary' as they all prepared to take part in the Harefield Hospital Fun Run last Sunday, you all looked amazing, it's lovely to see so many of your family and friends taking part in your team.
Gary would be so proud of his amazing Mum Karen, you work constantly to raise money for this Charity.
I will leave the link below to Karen's 'Team Gary' Fundraising page:

The following photos of are of the 'Fusing Glass' Projects that Karen's friend Jo creates, I have to say that I am blown away by how beautiful they are, so detailed and intricate, I would love to see a demonstration of this technique.
Take a look at these amazing projects....

I think my favourite is the bouquet of flowers, or maybe that adorable little fox!

Karen, thank you so much for sharing the photo's of Team Gary and of your friend Jo's work, please let her know that I think she is incredibly talented XXX

Michele's Magazine Review 

Hi Ladies,

Cardmaking & Papercraft has a really cute set of Stamps & Die as the free gift this month.

Here’s some ideas from inside the magazine.

Don’t these cards look so cute-these are made using the free gift.

Great article on using leaves-if you didn’t have any Leaf Dies then I’m sure you could use stamps.

Interesting article on heat Embossing backgrounds.


That’s all for this week,
Happy Crafting

Michele



Michele, thank you so much for another fantastic Magazine review, I have this magazine (although I haven't really read it yet) and those stamps are so cute, with the lovely Snow Globe die to use with them.  I do love how they feature different techniques each month.
Thanks for taking the time to writing these reviews each week my lovely XXX

Lilian

Lilian emailed me about these fantastic Blending Brushes, they are in fact Make up Blending Brushes, these ones Lilian bought for £10.99 for 10 Brushes, which is a fantastic price.
I have to say that I have some, I bought Sophie and Lucy a set for Christmas but they prefer Blending sponges, so Sophie bought hers down and asked if I could use them, of course I said yes.
I am going to do a bit of a test with different inks to see how they blend, Lilian has had great success with them so far.

Thank you so much Lilian for sharing this bargain find for us XXX


That's all for today ladies, I hope that you all have a lovely day, I think we are going to be blessed with some sunshine!

Sending love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
