I Love all the CC's on show...Hi Sandra and all.<br />I Love all the CC's on show today, so many wonderful images and Lilian you do have a knack to make wonderful cards. You are a real artist. <br />I did send a couple of cards but so silly late so understand they were not on today but perhaps use them when you need something Sandra. <br />So sorry to see you are not good at all but don't sell of your craft items, you will regret it as quickly as the thought came up. I wish you more rest when the lambs are gone to the farm and afterwards you will get the Mojo back. Do think we are missing it pretty badly after December for some reason it deciding to go on holiday !! what's that all about ? anyhow I hope to make a cc earlier for next Sunday for , going to town Tuesday, SIL is here on Wednesday, seeing OH step mum Thursday and new sister arriving Saturday so the house have to have a proper clean, you know how it is when new people coming home for the first time and they want to see it Lol We found her a neighbour who are doing a air B & B, 2 minutes walk away which is perfect as we can't put her up at home and the Hotel's are pricey when you stay for a week.<br />I wish you a nice day and hugs to everyone.

What a lovel...Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today. <br />What a lovely selection of animal cards to enjoy today. Thank you for giving me some inspiration, I hope they will get my mojo back! <br />Sandra my lovely, I’m so sad that you are still struggling to craft. I know just how much it means to you for several reasons but I have everything crossed that once the lambs are back in the barn and you can get some rest both your mojo and health will start to improve. Sending you the biggest hugs my lovely xxxx<br />Sorry I haven’t been in but had another migraine on Friday along with some sort of bug which has left me in bed. I’d rather have it now though as we go away the week after next. <br />Mum as it turned out it was s good thing that I didn’t see you on Friday in the end isn’t it. I know we love to share things but bugs are not one of those things. Love you xxxx<br />Karen, i hope the weather was kind for you all today and little Oscar thoroughly enjoys all of his birthday treats. Where did those last three years go? Hugs to you and Oscar xx<br />Lynda, I hope you get some help after the docs look at your scan pictures. Sending hugs to you and CU x<br />Brenda, is ladies do get the rough end of the stick don’t we! Hugs to you x<br />Maria, sorry you have been feeling so rough. I am sending you hugs and hope you start to feel better very soon x<br />Janet it’s good to know you and Jim are safely in your paradise. It must be so old to open up to a clean home and a fire to welcome you. It’s amazing that you both had the same cake for the first time on Friday. As usual your description made my mouth water. I must admit that a few weeks ago I bought two lemon and raspberry tarts from Sainsbury’s fresh cake counter for Sandra and I to have and we both were delighted at just how delicious they are. They are the best shop bought cakes I have ever had. The pastry base is almost like shortbread, then a good layer of lemon cure with the top covered with really fresh perfectly ripe raspberry’s with a light sprinkle of icing sugar to top it all off. Yum yum. If you get withdrawal symptoms of lovely French cakes when you get back they might be worth a try x<br />Michele, thanks for he reviews yesterday. They are very helpful x<br />Lilian, your card is beautiful. You are so talented. I hope you get your appointment very soon. Can your GP push the hospital to speed it up. Sending you gentle hugs x<br />Val, enjoy making the 60th birthday cards. Do you actually refuse to do pop up box cards now or was it just that one lady that ordered them all? It’s a shame you don’t enjoy making them as you do a wonderful job on them but you should enjoy your crafting shouldn’t you x<br />I’m not sure how long I have been in the Cafe but now I have finally finished I am off to sleep again. Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for all in need. Take care xx<br /><br /><br />Mrs Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179962719631818018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-38630610947671287502019-04-28T13:21:03.181+01:002019-04-28T13:21:03.181+01:00Hello Sandra & ladies

Sandra I had forgotten about the cat Christmas card, Thank you xx I hope your blood test this week will be fine and possibly give some answers, you have been very busy lately, sometimes that can be a therapy because then you are then to busy to think about your problems.

Well I’m not me again today ...Hi Sandra and ladies.<br />Well I’m not me again today so I’ll have to prove I’m a robot. Let’s hope it lets me publish. It’s so frustrating.<br />Fantastic cards today ladies. I’m not to sure if I sent the Elephant card to Sandra which would have done for this weeks challenge. <br />No wonder your worn out Sandra having to look after and clean up after Matts lambs. I wonder what he would have done if you weren’t so accommodating and were unable to do it for him. I’m assuming as well that you and Paul were doing the night shift as well. Two hourly feeds are no joke. Let’s hope they go into the barn very soon. <br />I have the Scottie dog stamp Michelle from Little Claire designs, but haven’t a clue where it is.<br />I don’t think Pete will improve Karen as he’s getting weaker and weaker. Just a symptom of his disease and the medication he needs to help with the pain.<br />Gentle hugs to all who need one today.Patswitneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-47893812253502473742019-04-28T09:36:42.681+01:002019-04-28T09:36:42.681+01:00Hi everyone.

Perhaps it will brighten up later.<br /><br />What a fantastic haul of craftiness on the boards this week. I love all of them.<br /><br />Our shopping did indeed see a couple of wonderful cakes drop into the shopping bag and for the first time ever we both had the same cake.<br /><br />Our case was in the shape of a boat.<br />The pastry is aa little sweeter than our short crust pastry and was filled with patisserie custard. On top of this were strawberries cut in half and placed to look like 'rowers' These strawberries had fresh cream piped onto them. A white Choc flower was the finishing touch at the brear of the boat.<br />Needless to say they were wonderful to look at and even more wonderful to eat.<br /><br />I'm now off to have my breakfast which has just arrived.<br />We're having a restful day today.<br /><br />HUGS are on their way to you all. Have a good day.xxxxjanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769057785697422382noreply@blogger.com
