Simple Card



Good Friday Morning Ladies, 

Well we had an eventful last day of driving  to say the least....  We had a lovely leisurely breakfast at the hotel,  we noticed that they had put a note on our return journey booking saying that they no longer have the disabled access room that we had booked, so when Paul went to check out he asked about it,  the lady could see we had booked the accessible room and had it confirmed,  so apologised and said that she would upgrade us to a 'Chalet ' that have been double the price we paid!  So that was a win.  

We packed and left hotel and headed to get lunch for journey, parked up, Paul got my crutches out and we did a qukck shop,  got back to the car, handed my crutches to Paul, he popped them against side of car and loaded our lunch in the cool box etc,  he faffs about for ages,  anyway we left, got petrol and set off on the journey to spain,  after about half hour Paul said to me "Can you see your crutches in back? " I turned to look and said "No I can't ", so he stopped in next layby and went to look and they weren't there!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ  I felt sick,  as the only way I could get on the beach is with my crutches and the big ferules that work in sand.  He said " We'll have to go back,  so we raced back to supermarket, a good 40 minutes away,  he looked around where we parked and couldn't see them, so he went in supermarket to see if someone handed them in,  thankfully they had,  I was so pleased to seem, then spotted that one was very mishaped, paul must have pulled away to get petrol,  not noticing the crutches clatter to the floor, the he drove over one of them, I confess I didn't hear anything either which shocked me,  as they would have clattered to the ground.  

Luckily he managed to mostly straighten out the bent part, so fingers crossed they aren't weakened!  You have to laugh at these things! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…


Another great reminder,  we certainly will be doing exactly that today!! 

Today's card is a super simple card, I masked off a section of the card and then blended the Carved Pumpkin ink down the stripe I had masked,  I blasted it to dry it and then stamped the simple silhouette wildflower in the coloured strip and finished with the sentiment on the left hand side.

Simple yet effective! 

I hope that you all have a great Friday,  

My love and hugs to all, 

Sandra xxx
