Janet's Vintage Challenge

 











Good Friday Morning Ladies,

Here we are at the end of another week,  what do you all have planned for the weekend?  We are off down to Brixham tomorrow to visit Paul's Mum & Dad, we are only going for the day so it will be a long one, I think its important for Paul to spend as much time as he can with his Dad, I'm hoping that he is having a "good " day when we go, it seems to be hit and miss to be honest, Paul calls his Mum everynight to check how his Dad is doing, from Tuesday this week he has been stringing words together which is huge progess, it really exhausts him though, it really does make us think that his acute deterioration was down to not being fed and hydrated, there is no other explanation for him recovering from being totally unresponsive to eating (soft food) and drinking, he can hold his cup again too, he couldn't manage 1 single word either but now he can string a couple words together.   I don't want Paul building up too much hope though, it's such a tough situation. 

Janet's Vintage Challenge 

I asked Janet if she would like to suggest a topic for our Challenge this week, I often ask on the chat group forgetting that Janet doesn't see that.  So when I messaged Janet she suggested 'Vintage' our next Challenge.  
Now vintage covers many styles and can of course be used for any occasion.  LaBlanche & Stamperia both feature mostly vintage themed designs, the Vintage colour palette tends to be mostly Muted shades, nothing too bright and garish. If you need any  inspiration just type 'Vintage Style Handmade cards' in Pinterest and you will find a huge range of ideas. 
I will share some more inspiration tomorrow. 
Thank you so much Janet for suggesting this week's Challenge theme, it isn't one I would have thought of !!  XXX 
I look forward to seeing your Vintage themed cards &  Journal pages. 

I hope that you all have good day & relaxing weekend, 

Love & Hugs to all of you,

Sandra

    Well here we are heading for the middle of February and it's bitterly cold here this morning. We are measuring -2 so I suppose I'll keep warm warm today 'swearing' as it's Friday too.
    Mr Tesco delivered yesterday afternoon so today will be upside down.

    I hope your journey tomorrow will be trouble free and that Dad is having a good day.
