Suzy Bee DT - Buttons & Bows

Hi one and all!
I forgot to schedule this last night as I was out with family and our granddaughter's friends for a meal as it was her 16th birthday.  Where have these years gone?  Anyway, we all had a lovely time and she was throughly spoilt as always.  I'm actually sitting here with a cuppa by my side along with a piece of birthday cake (no calories in it, ha ha).

It's time for another Suzy Bee challenge so here is my offering.  Off now to have a play.  Mr C is away to work, it's hissing down outside and all the housework is done so I think I deserve it.
Hugs

Thank You

Greetings!
There are a few challenges this week for a Thank You card so before I got onto the housework yesterday I made this card.  Hope you like it.

I was in bed by the back of 9 last night and didn't have too bad a sleep but still not 100% today.  I'm off into town with my friend as she wants to go to the library to buy (!) her Christmas cards.  Each year they have a lovely selection of charity cards and I've a few bits and pieces to do.  No doubt we'll manage to squeeze in lunch, or a cuppa at least!

Congratulations


Hi everyone!
I've scheduled this post as I've a hospital appointment this morning.  My left eye runs from time to time and it is so annoying when it does.  I've been putting it off for a while, a long while in fact, but eventually had to give in and go to the doc who referred me to the eye clinic.  Mr C is coming with me cos my appointment letter said I might need to have drops in my eye and I wouldn't be able to drive right away.  Will keep you posted!

I have to apologise for the wonky photo.  It makes the card look as if it is completely misaligned but, fear not, it's OK in real life.

Hope you have a good day.
Hugs

Just for You


Hi everyone!
Wow, posting three days in a row ... a first for a long time!  What a lovely day again.  I've been into town to meet up with one of my friends who is recently retired.  It was lovely to have time to potter and have lunch and a good long natter.

Mr C and I had an afternoon out yesterday ... at the Truckfest (yes, Truckfest) at Ingleston.  I just love big trucks and wish I was at least 30 years younger and I could be a truck driver!  For those of you who have been following my blog for a long time you'll remember I was lucky enough to take part in a Fire Service Ladies Driving Day and was able to drive an artic, fire engine, bus etc ... oooooh, bliss!  When we got home we met up with friends, had tea then got flights organised.  Mr C and I have been asked to house sit for friends in Spain while they are on a cruise so our friends are coming too.  That's the end of October, only 11 weeks, and the way time is flying it won't be that long!

fabulous art work

I'm a Stobart fan!

awesome

Off now to make mince and tatties for tea!

Tickled Pink


Morning peeps!
Back to winter again ... brrr.  Hope you all had a lovely weekend.  We enjoyed our time with son and DIL yesterday.  My son had a look at laptops with me and I've ordered a new one.  Can't wait as this one is so slow and some of the keys stick which is really annoying.  Will be on the lookout for Mr Delivery Man later in the week.  I'm off out today with my friend.  I haven't seen her for nearly 8 weeks as she's been stateside on holiday so there will be mega chat!

The card I have to share today was made with one of the new collection from Clearly Besotted.  I followed Stephanie long before she had her company and I love her style.  The collection is all about feathers and they stamp so beautifully.  Hope you like!

Off to get ready for my looooong lunch!
Hugs

Blown Away


Hi! Another day where it's pouring rain one minute then brilliant sunshine the next.  I wish the weather would settle down and be nice at least until October!!!

I should have been doing some housework this afternoon but I've been playing in the craft room instead however, Mr C is in the garage getting more stuff to take to the skip so I'd maybe better go and give him some encouragement :)

afternoon tea


Sorry there was no post yesterday.  Between trying to get something done about my car and some serious housework the day just disappeared.  In the evening I watched TV and did some knitting.  As far as the car is concerned ... you really don't want to know! I phoned a garage in the morning and was assured someone would recover the car during the day, guess what, nothing happened so this morning I phoned a different garage and am waiting for them to phone after recovering the car but I'm not holding my breath.  Will keep you posted.
Hugs
Anne

OLL - DT


Hi everyone!  I had a fabby day out with my friend on Friday.  Didn't actually buy very much but it was great to catch up.  Saturday I was meeting up with 3 friends whom I've known for 40+ years.  We decided to have our Christmas get-together earlyish this year in case we had the same bad weather as we experienced last year.  Presents and cards have been duly swapped ... how organised are we!  Sunday was a family day as it was our son's birthday so we all met up for lunch and had great fun.  Today I'm off to see my aunt as she wants me to take her to M&S for some Christmas shopping.  Seems like I'm never at home but it beats working any day.  It's the best job I've ever had!  Hugs x

Little Box


Bad blogger again!  I just don't know where the time goes these days.  

It's my aunt's birthday next week and when we were visiting an antiques centre recently she spied a little brooch she liked.  Luckily my cousin was with us and she distracted my aunt and I was able to buy it for her.  I made and decorated this little box for the brooch to go in.  The box is great as there's no glue needed and very little cutting - just so easy!  Hope you like it.  Hugs x
