Mixed Up Saturday featuring Michele's magazine Review

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you all had a lovely day yesterday, it was a lovely day here, we had a lovely afternoon tea, with fancy sandwiches and Sophie's lovely Lemon cake. Later on in the evening Lucy and zsophie surprised us with a Takeaway for Supper, what a treat.

Paul and I went for a stroll around the village to look at all the VE Day decorations,  it was lovely to see so many flags and lovely Bunting everywhere, we put our homemade Union Flag Bunting out early yesterday morning, I did suggest putting and sandwiches and cakes in a basket to take out and eat with the villagers,  Paul and the girls just looked at me, as it turned out nobody at our end of the street took part, it wouldn't work as our Driveways are all too far apart and we have really high hedges, I think the residents at the other end of our road took part.

One thing that really made the day special was the Ringing of our Church Bells at 3.30PM,  they said that it was a celebration back then as the church bell ringing was banned during the war, so all churches rang their bells to celebrate! 

It was one of those 'hair on the back of your neck moments'.

Now lets look at today's features....

Karen 

Karen shared this fantastic card that she made for Alan for their Wedding Anniversary, what an amazing idea for a card, I may borrow your idea as this is such a great idea to let them know how much we appreciate all that they do, Paul is 100% mh Super Hero.

An absolutely fantastic card idea Karen, thank you so much for sharing it XXX 

 Cheryl 

Cheryl has kept herself busy withvlots of different crafts, this is one of the Stunning Christmas Wreath thst Cheryl has made for her family, this particular one is for Robin. Its absolutely stunning Cheryl, if they weren't so time consuming they would sell really well on Christmas Fair stalls.
Thank you so much for sharing it with us XXX
