Thank goodness it's Friday is all that I am going to say! Although I have had a productive week in the craft room which is always a good thing. Have you all managed to get any crafting done?
I didn't get any crafting done yesterday however, I was trying to sort out a very frustrating issue! My sister had a message from one of my Aunt's to say how lovely Mum & Dad's Headstone is?!!! My sister was a little upset that I hadn't told them that it was being laid, I had to explain that I had no idea! I thought that the stonemasons would have contacted me to let me know that the Granite had arrived in the country and that they were preparing it, then maybe a photo or something for me to check that the spelling and details were correct. The other thing is that at the time I ordered it we weren't sure of where Mum's plot was definitely going to be, so they must have just looked around the Cemetery for her plot, it just seems wrong for them to do it without saying anything. The other concern I have is the fact that Mum has only been in her plot for just over a month, the Clerk and the Gravedigger chap both said that the ground had to be left to settle for 3 months! I tried calling them yesterday but got no reply, I don't know if I am wrong for being annoyed.
Morning Everyone
ReplyDeleteLove your Challenge of this next week SANDRA.

HUGS are winging their way to you allwith loads of extras for all Dear Friends who are in need at this time..PLEASE TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE.xxxx
Great idea for a challenge and some lovely inspiration too I have one male birthday this month!
ReplyDeleteI have the dentist this morning which I am really not looking forward to It’s the start of a long road of treatment apparently although I don’t know what the plan is
OH is out this afternoon and evening So I hope to make a start on some cards for next week
Take care all xx
I feel for you Karen. Will be thinking of you xx
DeleteHi ladies
ReplyDeleteCan understand you are a bit annoyed about the stone. Hopefully it looks fine and it wont be sinking or sliding anywhere.
Great cards and challenge for next week. I have 3 men to make a card for next months.
Hope you are alright Janet and can have a relaxing weekend.
Good to hear Luke is feeling better Sonia.
Must go, our visitors have turned up and we are taking them to IKEA for a look around. Hoping to make some crafting this evening. Yesterdays plans didn't work out.
Have a nice day and many hugs are being sent for you all xxx
Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today. You have given us a great challenge. And I love all three cards that are inspirational. Men’s cards are always harder to do than ladies aren’t they. The beach/sea card is absolutely fantastic, I love the metal anchor which is the perfect finishing touch. I wonder if Paul would notice if you sent it to him again? He would love it anyway I’m sure.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely be upset if the stone masons laid a headstone without letting me know before hand. Surely they should at least send a photo of the finished stone so you could check spelling etc. and give you the date of it being laid. Definitely needs a phone call so I hope you get to talk to them today my lovely xx
Karen, how is the bed feeling? Good luck at the dentist xx
Have a good day ladies.
I have the day to myself so I have som ironing that needs doing and then crafting is the plan 🥰 Sending love snd hugs to you all with extras for all in need. Take care xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards for next weeks challenge 😊
Sorry to hear about your day yesterday. I too would be annoyed! Surely they should have let you know. Hope you can get hold of them for an explanation.
More like an autumnal day here - wet, windy and cold. What happened to summer?
Hope you get on ok at the dentist, Karen xx
Have a good day everyone. Sending hugs to you all xxx

Hello Sandra and ladies,
ReplyDeleteGreat new challenge you have set Sandra. I will definitely have to get my thinking cap on.
Yesterday was a day and a half, it started with me going to my hairdressers, John stayed home with the electrician. On the way home I did the shopping (can’t remember the last time I did it on my own) during the morning granddaughter sent a text to say could she come over as she had returned from Leeds. She still has her little flat and will be returning for the Autumn term when she is due to start her MA. Think she is planning to become a perpetual student! By bedtime I was an absolute wreck. Today has also been busy, it’s John’s birthday (can’t believe he is 80) we will be celebrating with the family over the weekend.
I also love your firs card Sandra. One year I gave John the same Christmas card that I had sent a year earlier - he didn’t realise, Not sure if Paul would be the same.
I had to empty a cupboard today the electrician needed to check a socket at the back. I came across some letters etc. Relating to my parents. One was from the undertaker to say the headstone had been placed on my parents grave. But that was quite a long time ago. Maybe they don’t let you know these days.
I’m off to bed now it’s been another long day. One day life will get back to normal, mind you I have been turning out cupboards and getting rid of ‘stuff’ that I (we) no longer use.
Sleep well everyone, Love Brenda xxx
