Some older Autumnal cards Throwback Thursday

 



Good Thursday Morning Ladies, 

Well I'm not sure what's more stressful, being 2 days out from the wedding or the fact that all of our families will be arriving in town in the next 24 hours.  It's going to be hard because obviously we want to spend time with them but my priotity is Becca.  I think we will take Paul's mum and my brother and possibly my sister into Bourton for Fish & Chips, then I need to go spend an hour with Becca,  then home to bed because I have to be up in time to shower and wash my hair and be at the priory for 6am !!! 😲🤣

So today I am sharing a couple of Autumnal cards from 2019.  I had a walk down the garden with Paul yesterday afternoon and it really felt like Autumn,  the leaves on the trees all seem to have turned early this year, maybe because if the drought. I do love the changing colours of Autumn though. 

I hope that you all have a good day,

Love & hugs to all of you,

My Birthday card from Maria

 



Good Wednesday Morning Ladies, 

This week is going WAY to fast,  yesterday started out in a dramatic manor, I had ordered a medical grade gel eye mask, that you put in the fridge/freezer. Its to help with inflammation, bruising etc, I thought I had sent it to the right address, however my brain wasn't functioning normally while Becca was in surgery,  I had sent it to the wrong address, so we drove to where it had been delivered, I walked up to the door, knocked and rang the bell but nobody was home, the package was on the step in front of me addressed to me,  I had the photo on my phone from delivery to prove it was mine,  so I just picked it up and we drove the few houses up to Becca's, I did say to Becca that she may see a description of me in their local neighbourhood watch group saying I was robbing parcels off doorsteps!🤣😂

The rest of the day was spent at the nail salon and beauty Salon for nails and lashes.   Now having your lashes 'lvl'd was an experience, they basically 'perm' your eyelashes, then tint them, they look great,  like you have the best mascara on, Sophie & Lucy's look stunning!!  I had my Eyebrows tidied too   hopefully that's all the torture over for now!  

Today I am sharing the gorgeous card that Maria created for my birthday,  adding all of those tiny crystals must have taken ages.  I can tell you that it really sparkles in the sunlight. So it's truly worth your hard work. 

Thank you so much Maria for such a lovely card XXX 

I hope that you all have a great day,

Love and hugs to all of you,

My Birthday card from Lilian

 


Good Tuesday Morning Ladies,  

Yesterday took a bit of a turn, Becca's post-op check up didn't go to plan,  the operation wasn't successful, so she had to spend the whole day waiting to have the surgery re-done,  she went down at around 6pm  after waiting since 8.45am!  I can only imagine the stress, she had Adam with her thankfully.  The surgery took almost 2 hours this time,  apparently they went a lot deeper this time, I hope they have done it thoroughly.  They said it was a lot more traumatic for Becca too.  She has to have complete bed rest for the rest of this week, they have prescribed extra eye drops to help clear the inflammation quicker.  

Today we were all having our pre-wedding pamper, manicure, pedicure & eyelash tint etc, it's going to be so sad doing it without her 😢 

On a much brighter note I am sharing the amazing card that Lilian made for my birthday. 🥰

It has a lovely ombre stencilled background, edged beautifully with black card.  Embellished with a gorgeous blue poppy, as always Lilian's colouring is incredible.  

Knowing that you ladies took time to make these beautiful cards for me makes them the most special gift.  Thank you so very Lilian xxx

I hope that you all have a great day, 

Love & hugs to all of you,

My Birthday card from Sonia






Good Monday Morning Ladies, 

How is it September already,  Becca & Adam's wedding has always seemed months away, its now 5 days!  
I love Autumn, the colours are so beautiful ! 

Today I am sharing the beautiful card that Sonia made for my birthday, that film strip die cut frames the die cut sentiment perfectly. I love the delicate stencilling too, such a beautiful shade of pink. 

Thank you so much my lovely for making this card for me xxx

I hope that you all have a great start to the week, 

Love and hugs
