Mixed Up Saturday

 


Good Saturday Morning Ladies, 

The shopping is done, as are most of the chores, so as it's the weekend its time to relax. Although we are up and out early as its the village market day today,  the girls have us on a mission to look for house plants.   I swear that they have become 'horticulture ' crazy, their bedrooms are like jungles, their latest obsession is propagating new plants from cuttings etc,  there is a healthy competition between them to see who can successfully propagate the most new plants.  As a consequence every shopping trip involves plant shopping!  Why couldn’t they be craft mad ??? !!!

Sue

Sue has found some bargains that she wanted to share with all of you.....



Sue's Description:

Here are a couple of bargains I have found. The candy cane ribbon is from B and M bargains £1.99 for 2 metres. They have lots to choose from at the moment. The no shed glitter card is from Temu at £2.50 for 10 A4 sheets. The colours are gorgeous and it is a good thickness card, perfect for Christmas cards xx

Thanks Sue, I felt the glitter card and it felt no different to any other that I have bought,   the red is a lovely 'Christmas ' red too. 

Thanks Sue,  its great to know that we can buy with confidence,   I have to say that most things I have bought have been ok   XXX

Also Lilian let me know today that there are so bargains to be had on Aall&Create website,  a lot of stencils for £2.99  and a lot of stamps too, worth a visit.  Thanks Lilian letting us know XXX

I hope that you all have a lovely Saturday,  

Love & hugs to all, 

Sandra xxx

  2. Hi everyone
    Love the quote! 😊
    Great buys Sue, thank you for sharing. I love the ribbon, and it’s very hard to find glitter card that doesn’t actually shed.
    Lilian, thanks for letting us know about AALL&Create, I will take a look 😊
    Hope you’re enjoying the village market and you manage to get some plants.
    Not doing much today but off to Dorset tomorrow.
    Maria, thinking of you, I hope your Mum is ok 🥰
    Hugs to all xx

  3. Hi Sandra and all looking in. Great saying that means I’m immortal too.
    I love how Soph and Lucy have got the growing bug too, just on a smaller scale than your garden……unless they want to start outdoors plants too xx
    Thanks for the heads up Lilian xx
    The glitter card is completely non shed, the red is the best Christmas red I’ve ever seen so I must get some more and some more of the other colours they have. I’m not sure what I will do with the ribbon. It was a “I love it so I’m buying it” purchase but at that price I don’t mind and as Mum used to say “it doesn’t eat anything”😘
    Dinner has just been put in the table so i must go now. Have a good night. Take care. Love Sue xx

  4. Hi All, well the rain and cold has arrived, save R watering the pots, the begonias are still looking really good.
    I love the saying, I must admit I love buying craft stuff so maybe I’ll join you all and live forever.
    I spent the morning catching up with the ironing, I keep saying I’m not going to let it pile up, but I always do.
    This afternoon we have been for our flu and covid vaccination, nurse said we were very wise as it’s spreading again, and making people quite poorly. So now I have two sore arms , which is unusual for me, don’t usually have any effects.
    Hoping to start another journal page tomorrow using some of Sandra’s ideas for the background.
    Maria thinking of you and your Mum, my Brother had bladder cancer, but at his last appointment they couldn’t find any sign of it.
    Have a good evening all, Lilian

  5. Hi everyone
    Oh I will join you all in being immortal 😉 I just can't stop buying. Thanks for telling us about the anti-shed cards Sue and Lillian about the AALL & create.
    Sorry to hear that your brother had bladder cancer Lilian. Hoping for good outcomes is all you can do. Mum got it in her spine too but she's trying to be strong 😔
    Had a lazy day while OH did the last cut of the grass and tidying up a bit outside.
    Hope you all had a good day. Hugs, Maria xxx
