Cupcake - DT

Hi! I cannot believe that we are at the beginning of another month.  That means it's time for the challenge in the Cupcake Craftroom.  Mandy has given the DT a fantastic set of papers to work with along with an inspirational photo.  Hope you can play along with us.

AWOL Again!

The craft room's been neglected again!  Thursday morning was class and in the afternoon I went to Dundee with my Daughter and Granddaughter.  They are off to a wedding this weekend and my Granddaughter still had nothing to wear!  Young ones ... grrr!  We managed to get her a trouser suit which she looked lovely in and it's something she'll wear afterwards.  They left yesterday as there was a family meal last night and the wedding is today.  It's sunny here just now so hope they've got sun too.

It's just a quickie today as Mr C and I are off to see our Son and DIL this afternoon.  We've a log splitter to take to him and in return we're getting a bootful of wood, simple things make us happy.

Hugs

Bestest Friends

Hi!  I didn't have time to blog yesterday!  My friend and I had a day out to House of Bruar.  It was the most beautiful drive up the A9 and although it was very cold the sun was shining and there was snow sprinkled on the top of the hills.  We had a delicious lunch and then browsed through the shop.  When I got home it was time to cook the evening meal then I got my knitting out and watched tv.  Mr C and I are off to Spain on 8 March for a month and I'm busy knitting little cardigans for one of the charities in the town where we used to live.  It keeps my hands busy while watching tv in the evenings and I'm doing something worthwhile at the same time.

Mr C was working from midnight to midday so I'm up in the craft room this afternoon trying to get all my DT work up to date for going away.  I know there's still a few weeks till we're off but also I know how quickly things catch up with me!

This card was made from my latest purchase.  It's the Mabel Lucie Attwell CD by Katie Sue Designs.  I've loved MLA since I was little as I had several books with these adorable drawings.

Hugs

Anne

Well, well, there goes my first and only resolution - not to be posting at the weekend!!!  I didn't post yesterday as Mr C and I went to visit my aunt.  Unfortunately she has another break in her back and has to go to see the Consultant on Tuesday. She was in fine spirits though and we had a lovely time with her.

I'm having a lazy day today.  Mr C was working till midday and is now having a sleep as we are off out tonight for a meal with all his cousins.  

Hope you all have a good weekend.  Hugs xx
