Good Morning Ladies,
WOW, what a whirlwind this week has been, or it might be more accurate to say 'Whirlpool !!
I had a lovely day yesterday, I had to 'Have a word with myself' and get over a Chronic bout of Anxiety, but I booked myself onto a Groovi Workshop in Witney, got Lucy to drop me off outside the Church Hall where it was held, I hovered outside the door for a few minutes trying to persuade myself to walk through the door, my alternative was to struggle with a huge bag on my crutches which was too much of a struggle. So I held my head hi and walked it, Only to discover I was at the wrong church hall (Only me)! The kind lady showed me where I needed to go, luckily it was over the road, so I slowly made my way there. By this time I was so cold I walked straight in and was directed to the right hall, I was greeted by the lovely ladies, who couldn't do enough to help me and make me feel welcome. Our Pat was there to which made it easier for me, there were about 6 other ladies that were all lovely, such a pleasure to meet.
We all worked on the same project, which is a stunning card, I will share mine when I have finished it. Ronk the instructor was so very helpful and encouraging. I will definitely be going back again!!
Michele's 'Freebie' Challenge
Michele bought a new magazine on Wednesday and it had a gorgeous Free die on the fromt, it's so detailed, very intricate and detailed with flowers Foliage and deers.
Michele has simply die cut the image and added to a lovely shade of green background, finishing it with that lovely sentiment.
Your Challenge for next week from Michele is that you make a project using something that you have received as a FREE gift. It can be a gift from a magazine or a Buy one get one free deal or even something you have received as a gift.
I hope that you all can find a freebie to use, I can't wait to see your projects my lovelies xxx
I hope that you all have a lovely weekend,
Love and hugs to all,
Sandra

ReplyDeleteGreat challenge MICHELE I bought a magazine whilst in Liverpool I’ll try that but also have lots of freebies including the SW set I won last week!
Sadly today I am at a funeral- one of my very first Salsa teachers It’s even worse when a young person’s life is taken
Take care all xxx
Sorry to hear your attending a funeral Karen. I hope it goes off okay. Take care my friend.
DeleteHi Karen, hope it goes as well as a day today can go.
DeleteCongrats for winning one of Sue's dies. Take care xx
Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteSandra-what a lovely day you must have e had yesterday (once you found the right church & calmed down). Even better that Pat was there so you knew someone. Looking forward to seeing what you both create.
My card was so simple-the Die is an Xcut one and cuts really easily. The sentiment is a very very old Cuttlebug one from an alphabet set of Dies.
Lovely relaxing start to my day off-the class is 11-2pm so I might pop into Southport once I’ve finished then I have all day tomorrow free.
Michele
Love the card I love CAS designs and a great challenge for next week Enjoy the class
DeleteLovely card Michele. Enjoy your class today. I always loved to watch how they constructed a card. Very clever doing that out off such small stamps.
DeleteLove your card Michele. Very envy you can go to a Card-io workshop. I got some things from Nec from them but have not had a chance to play yet. Have a fun day xx
DeleteHi Sandra & Ladies
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you enjoyed the class yesterday Sandra. It was only my second class with Ronk. But she’s doing 1 every month. I had met Ronk before when I used to go over to Carole’s. Funny that we all chose the same card to do. It all took longer than normal as the plates Ronk had ordered didn’t arrive from Clarity. I hope you didn’t have to wait to long for Lucy.
Saw the dentist first this morning as I have a loose tooth and toothache. Should have gone sooner as I now have an infection and was prescribed antibiotics. So can’t now have it out until the 9th Dec.
Great card yesterday Sandra as I’d forgot to look.
Lovely Die Michele and card you made from it.
Take care out there everyone as the weather isn’t to clever. Might go and finish off yesterday’s card.
Hi Pat, glad you had a good time at the workshop. Wish I could find something around here again. Hope you alright and keeping well. Take care xx
DeleteHi Maria
DeleteYes I always enjoy my classes. I’m going to start going to Redditch as Hazel & Maria are no longer doing classes at crafters companion. They hardly stock any Groovi now. They say it’s vecause no one buys it. But if they don’t have the new stuff how can you buy it. It’s probably vecause Sara Davies has moved over to C & C.
Hi Sandra & all in café,
ReplyDeleteSandra so pleased you plucked up courage to go to groovi meeting, well done you. Your card yesterday was lovely & well done on getting " head hunted ".xxx
Michele lovely card enjoy your class.

DeleteHi Sandra and ladies in the cafe' today.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Sandra that you took yourself to the Groovi class, meeting Pat,new friends and learning a new craft.
I bought some new things, it's called glitter art, I made one yesterday and will send it later for you. Hope it good enough for this weeks cc. I haven't been able to do anything crafty for nearly 2 weeks now as this virus have knocked me for six and I'm so so fed up. Cough also made me pull something in my back. Enough moaning but I hope Lilian, that your grandson is doing fine. A bit young for exams, bless him. I hope you are all alright and have escaped this horrendous flooding's. It's so sad. Hope you alright were you live Janet ?
Brenda- hope your sister doing better and that you and John are fine.
Karen ,hope that your foot is healing. Dad have problem with two toes and having it dressed by nurse. It's the diabetic, not sure what's next just hoping they don't have to take them.
Pat- hope you not in too much pain with your tooth
Lynda-this weather does nothing good for us Fibro sufferers and the cold goes right to the bones so wrap up warm and plenty of builders tea for you and weak ones for me :>)
Going back under the duvet and watching some recordings of Criminal Minds so wishing you all to stay safe and keep warm. Many hugs Maria xxx
Hello Sandra and ladies,
ReplyDeleteWELL DONE Sandra, you should be so proud of yourself, that was an enormous step you took yesterday....... but YOU DID IT 🥵👏 xx It will be so much easier next time. Lovely that PAT was there to help calm your nerves. Looking forward to seeing your completed work .
PAT hope the infection clears up soon it’s a shame you have to wait until December for your dental treatment. Hopefully the infection will have cleared up by then xx
MARGARET hope the medication is helping. xx I know there are so many new medicines that easy Parkinson’s these days and so much research is being carried out. I hope for your sake and everyone else - some answers are found soon. xx
