Teddy Hugs


Morning one and all!  After all the upheaval this week I hadn't even thought about the challenge for the Christmas Card Club today so I got up bright and early and here's my creation.  The theme this week is Aperture and was chosen by Zoe.  

More tidying up to get on with today and I might even get the iron out.  Our pooch has been at our daughter's all week so Mr C is going to collect her later today and our home will be complete again.

Hope you have a lovely Sunday
Hugs

Cupcake DT - Midway Reminder


Hi!  Sorry I've not been around much since I came home from Spain but I just can't seem to get back onto any kind of routine.  Next week won't be any better as my cousin is on holiday and I promised her I'd visit my aunt (her Mum) more often just to make sure she's OK.  Also on Tuesday I'm meeting a friend so that's next week pretty much taken care of!

My daughter and I were in town this morning.  We are both trying out contact lenses.  Although I've got varifocals I just don't like wearing my glasses as I feel very claustrophobic when I've got them on and if I don't wear them when I'm shopping I can't see any of the blasted prices or instructions on packets!  Oh the joys of getting older!!!  Anyway I got a pack of varifocals to try and also a pack of mono vision and I've to go back with which one I find best.  It's all trial and error.  Luckily my daughter has passed that stage and now is a fully fledged contact lens wearer. She needs them cos she just can't see :)  

Anyway, by the time we had been to the optician it was lunchtime so of course we just HAD to go to Curiositeaz Vintage Tea Room for lunch.  It's a super cafe and is based on an old fashioned tea room, proper refined china and the waitresses dressed in black with white pinnies and hats.  It's lovely to see a bit of class creeping back.  Oh, that sounds terribly snobbish but you know what I mean!

Last, but by no means least, this card is for the Cupcake Craftroom Challenge Midway Reminder.  The challenge this month is Bugs n Birds n Things with Wings.  The DT were given Mandy's new collection of Dragonflies to work with.  Wow, what a collection.  It comes in 32 different colours and has a beautifully distressed finish.  Why don't you pop along and join in with the challenge as the prize winner will be able to choose a paper collection from the store.

Happy Birthday


Hi everyone! I didn't manage to blog yesterday - it was a busy day.  I had to visit someone about wedding stationery and then I went to see my Aunt.  A lovely day was had although the weather was pants.  It's blowing a hoolie here today and there's rain blowing through, methinks a day in the craftroom is in order but I have to add, I've already had the hoover and duster out and the washing machine is on so I don't feel guilty!!!

All White


I'm late on the go tonight again.  I've been out most of the day with my daughter as she's back to work tomorrow.  We had lunch in town along with some shopping then we had to do even more shopping but food this time!  I watched the soaps this evening then decided to come to the craft room to try some designing.  Mr Mojo is still a bit sluggish after the holidays but hopefully he will spring into action again one day soon.

Fore!

I'm definitely not 'normal' today - I cleaned the kitchen and mopped the floor.  I nearly had to go and lie down in a darkened room.  Mr C is outside cutting the grass while it's dry.  He's on holiday for a couple of weeks and we're off to Wales for 3 days next week on a doggy training exercise - don't ask!  Not my idea :)
