Friday Festive Oldies

 





Good Friday Morning Ladies, 

These Friday's are whizzing round aren't they!  

Yesterday was unseasonably warm, Soph took me for brunch to a new place for us, it is an actual Coffee Roasters factory,  you can watch them roasting the coffee.  Not that it appeals to me, I went off of coffee when I was pregnant with the girls and haven't liked it since,  Paul & the girls are real coffee lovers though.   Coffee has gone crazy over the last 5 years,  I remember years ago you were considered a coffee snob if you had Nescafe Gold Blend,  do you remember the old Mellow Birds advert ?  Where the lady tipped her coffee in the plant pot because it wasn't Mellow Birds,  or the love story of the Gold Blend couple.  Adverts were more fun to watch in the old days when they had sequels,  the Oxo family,  Papa & Nicole with Citroën!  

Anyway I didn't get anything finished for today's blog post, I had a bit more mopping up and cleaning to do, I then started playing with some new Mica powders and I love them, I will share them with you tomorrow. 

So some Christmas cards from 2019 for you today,  I still really like both cards, they haven't really dated in 5 years.  

I really must start making Christmas cards,  do you want me to set that as a challenge specifically or just leave it as part of TicTacToe so you have choice?? 

I hope that you all have a lovely Friday, 

Love and hugs to all of you,

  3. Hi everyone
    Can't believe that these cards are from -19, they look like they were made yesterday.
    Yes please, give us challenge to make Xmas cards. I'm later then ever with mine 🙄
    Nice to hear from you Karen, we need some sunshine here so do send some over will you.
    Have a wonderful cruise 😊
    My crafting has been mostly of crystal as late because it's been easier when sitting downstairs. I went upstairs tho to have my shower and suddenly it was this bang and OH told me that the box I keep my drills was upside down on the floor ☹️😲. I managed to rescue some but in the end I had to hoover the rest of them up because it was too much work to sort the colours out 😥.
    We have the electric off later today for some hours so I will make a card then......
    Have a nice day everyone. Hugs to you all, Maria xx
