I did comment about 11...Hello SANDRA & friends<br /> I did comment about 11am before we left for Harry's birthday but it seems to have vanished GRRR.Anyway we had a lovely time Harry was a little star I can't believe he is now 2 I have sent SANDRA a picture of me & my little man he is holding the card I made him & a picture of his electric motor bike we went halfway with Darren. He is bike mad. He also got a trampoline Darren has just sent me a little clip on my phone of him jumping on it. <br />Todays CC are all lovely again especially Ciara's card it's really lovely much better than mine. Look forward to tomorrow's sketch.& if we have a minni one too will look forward as well. Sandra hope your not in too much pain after your trip to the airport, can't believe the charges for parking.it has just come over very dark I think we might have a storm coming it's so muggy.<br />Sandra I was shocked in your post today about Nigel & Dave leaving C&C they have been there for quite a few years Jackie is a fairly new presenter. But why the craft channel I have only watched it once & DB was on can't stand her & her style of crafting hasn't changed since QVC. Still don't think I will watch.<br />Hochanda is definitely the better one.<br />Have a good evening everyone love &Hug's Lynda xxLynda's craft'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532280747477027294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-21338970951322550672016-06-12T18:33:36.932+01:002016-06-12T18:33:36.932+01:00Hi All sorry to be late in today, not up to much t...Hi All sorry to be late in today, not up to much today.<br />Loved all of the challenge cards, think I strayed a bit from the sketch, put it down to not being well<br />Ciara, think your card is fab great inking, you are much better at that than I am.<br />Waiting to see what Sandra has for us tomorrow.<br />Having roast chicken for tea, so better go and do my onions as we do love roast onions with chicken..<br />Was surprised to read that the three presenters are leaving C&C, wondering who will replace them.<br />Enjoy the rest of Sunday, see you tomorrow, hugs Lilian.lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16188496021858629196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-60901490750676142382016-06-12T17:38:50.590+01:002016-06-12T17:38:50.590+01:00Hi Sandra and all on the cafe' today.
Talking ...Hi Sandra and all on the cafe' today.<br />Talking about funny weather, rain here too, brrr!<br />Have spent the morning in town with some shopping and a hair cut. Looking for some colour for the kitchen and also for the hall/stairs and landing but not sure what we like yet. Have made me a tea and sitting here and looking back and forth to our wonderful card for this weeks CC. Ciara must have a special mention because you are just brilliant in making the cards up, well done.<br />Lilian - love the lighthouse and the boats. Beautiful x-mas cards too and wonderful flower ones. Wonder what we up for, for tomorrow ? What a journey you and Paul had to make last night,ouch ,really hope you not in to much pain today because of it. Parking for us there is normally between £40-£70 for a week but then we have booked way ahead. Any thoughts about a date for a meet-up ladies ? Karen - when are you free next ?<br />Anne - hope your garden visits were better today and some yummy cakes around. Shame about yesterdays outing.<br />Michele - hope you enjoyed having the American visitors, how long are they staying for ?<br />Janet - hope you had a nice lunch, where did you end up ?<br />Val - did you manage to do any tidying or did the crafting win ? Thought you might have a problem to find a black cardi. so glad you got hold of one at C&A of all places. never understood why they shut in the UK, we always bought a lot from them.<br />Sue - happy crafting. The weather is so dull and yes it seem to be for a few days so I too will try to make some cards but the mojo is a bit temperamental so will see...<br />Cheryl - glad you meant the blog and not the bog haha, make sure to have some Me time in-between all your crafting. Hope you all had a nice Sunday and a nice evening to come. love and hugs to you all.

Have spent many cold, wet, early starts on a weekend to go and watch and then spent the rest of the day trying to get warm :-( Its something we do though to show our support. I admire your husband for being a referee and running a team. Think the refs get a lot of stick from some players and spectators. There was a grown man arguing with a younger ref this morning on another game. Couldn't believe the way the grown man was speaking to him - I felt like saying to him it's only a youth football tournament, not the World Cup!! I guess people take these things more seriously than others, all the trouble at the Euros at the moment is proof of that :-(<br />Hope you're having a lovely day.<br />Hugs xxxSonia Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959626260133692438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-26933078145022330262016-06-12T16:33:59.901+01:002016-06-12T16:33:59.901+01:00Hello again Guess what - yes the football is on - ...Hello again Guess what - yes the football is on - was going to go and craft but instead I think I will knit Just wanted to give CIARA a special mention - her card making skills are amazing and her imagination is lovely - can I have some of her mojo please<br />JANET I hadn't realised you have to have major surgery Take care sweetheartkarenlottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00314141032092834388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-23155657146591551272016-06-12T16:05:39.861+01:002016-06-12T16:05:39.861+01:00Hi Sandra

The later you leave it the more they charge. Especially trying to book the day before no wonder it was so high.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-65928851839500882682016-06-12T16:02:35.416+01:002016-06-12T16:02:35.416+01:00Hi Sonia

I've spent hours watching boys football and getting soaking wet. I was quite happy when it was called off sometimes as well. Good job I read this back as it read hair band instead of husband.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-69535443844565836602016-06-12T13:36:22.525+01:002016-06-12T13:36:22.525+01:00Hi Pat, I don't believe the problem is windows...Hi Pat, I don't believe the problem is windows, I'm sure it is Google trying to take over with Chrome. They are very aggressive on line according to others, they want you to use Chrome rather than anything else. I posted a big complaint on Windows 10 FB page and someone contacted me from there to sort my W10 problems, nothing wrong with it since. Mind you they didn't sort out all the glitches before they launched it which is why so many problems did occur. Hope your friend gets hers sorted, there's nothing so annoying than a PC, tablet etc. not doing what is says on the tin! x<br />cheryl brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890543787200668122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-61971236533099980262016-06-12T13:26:32.519+01:002016-06-12T13:26:32.519+01:00Hi Sandra and everyone.

For mine I used Kraft card and a paper from the Shabby Christmas Paper Bloc from Joy Crafts. I love the colours - a mixture of blues, pinks and grey. <br />Hope you're having a relaxing day today Sandra after your long trip to the airport yesterday. I'm astounded by what they charge at these car parks, it's a wonder that anyone uses them!<br />We have just got back from Luke's football tournament. Thought I had better go as it was dry when we left. Of course the rain started before their first game, so spent the next two and a half hours wet and cold. Unfortunately for them they didn't get through to the knockout stages (Am I bad Mother for being relieved as it meant we could come home earlier!? Lol) So I am now sitting here in my big woolly jumper and fluffy socks trying to warm up, and this is supposed to be summer! Yes, I know I was moaning about it being too hot and humid earlier in the week, but it just seems to go from one extreme to another, lol ;-)<br />Anyways I hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend. Have a good rest of the day.<br />Hugs to all xxxSonia Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959626260133692438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-29796965458088984632016-06-12T13:16:18.498+01:002016-06-12T13:16:18.498+01:00Yes, thanks Michele I got it.Yes, thanks Michele I got it.Nanannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016663930528165390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-83433499051887269262016-06-12T13:03:44.039+01:002016-06-12T13:03:44.039+01:00Hi Sue, THANK YOU for the lovely comment on Ciara&...Hi Sue, THANK YOU for the lovely comment on Ciara's card.

Anyone would think that my memory is bad, wouldn't they : )<br />Janet, sorry that you will be having major surgery but at least it will be well worth it. I assume you won't be going to France yet. I am keeping my fingers etc. tightly crossed that a cancellation comes up very soon for you. I love your card today too x<br />Lilian and Michele, beautiful plants and gardens. You do have a long, but beautiful, walk to water your tomato plants, don't you Michele! <br />Cheryl, I love the caddies, beautifully decorated, with some additions since I hear. I would be very surprised if you have any left by the end of the fete, they will fly off of your stall : ) x<br />There are so many wonderful c cards today, I love having them to look at for insipration. Thank you all for sharing them, especially our Ciara. Ciara. I showed Chris, my husband, all of the cards today and he wouldn't believe me when I told him your age, he thought your card was beautiful, and he said you would be able to teach ladies how to make lovely cards : ) x<br />Sandra, I hope your not too sore after the airport run my lovely. I hope you can choose the sketch quite quickly today, I know how hard you try and make it suitable for all of us, we really do appreciate your live and care xx<br />After a day crafting yesterday when I manage d to finish one card we went to a friend's 50th birthday party last night and had a lovely time. Today is another crafting day as I have a lot of birthdays etc. this month.<br />I hope you all have a good day, it's raining here and is meant to be for the next few days but at least it's still quite warm.

Thank you Sandra, for setting the challenge each week. I hope you are not suffering today, after spending five <br />hours + in the car yesterday. Try to take things easy today, let the family look after you. Hope Becca, boyfriend and family have a lovely week. I agree airport charges are extortionate. But it's great they have you and Paul to come to the <br />rescue. <br /><br />We have a very wet start to the day, I had hoped to get out into the garden today, at the moment it is definitely out of the question, as it's pouring down.<br /><br />Hope you all have a good day.<br />Love and hugs, Brenda xxx<br /><br />Brenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-19256605933634435292016-06-12T10:30:25.753+01:002016-06-12T10:30:25.753+01:00Hi ANNE sorry the gardens weren't up to much y...Hi ANNE sorry the gardens weren't up to much yesterday .

Caira must have done hers straight away Sandra if hers was first in. Love them all especially the cute animal ones and the lighthouse. I also see that cards are being made for Christmas. Sophie loved her card and said it must have taken ages to do. We're all off to Karen's for a birthday meal later on today. Looks like it might be inside, instead of outside today as its raining here at the moment. The family plus Amy's boyfriend went for a meal on Friday which was her birthday day. That was a change of plan as Sophie was going out with friends on Friday. She changed her mind and they went out on Sat instead. Otherwise we all would have gone out for a meal on Friday.

I wrote a long comment earlier and it has posted to yesterday's page. This is the third time now I have written posts and they have vanished to elsewhere. Google Chrome keeps wanting me to install but since that problem last year, I have steered clear of it and stick to Microsoft Edge which came with Windows 10.<br />Perhaps that is the problem, because my bog, Pinterest and email account are all on my google account?<br /><br />Thank you all very much for your lovely comments on my caddies. I thought I would let the pretty papers do all the talking, I have since taken advice from an old friend and added flowers to them, not OTT, just a couple.<br />Lovely gardens ladies, I would love to sit in them a while, and Janet's book is simply sumptuous.<br /><br />Love & hugs<br />Cheryl xxx<br /> <br />cheryl brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890543787200668122noreply@blogger.com
