Soft Pink

Cold, grey and very damp today but no snow!  Mr C had to go to the doc yesterday as although he was no worse, he was no better.  Guess what ... it's a virus!  If he's no better by Monday he's to go back again.  Daughter is in bed too but she's got a different virus!  I was running about yesterday like a blue a***d fly getting shopping for us (we won't starve now) and shopping for her (they won't starve either!).  I really didn't mind as I wasn't doing anything else.  I bumped into a couple of friends when I was in town and had a cuppa and a scone with them, yum!  I'm really late getting this posted today.  I was out all morning at class and have been trawling the internet this afternoon looking for a birthday pressie for Mr C and my granddaughter.  Needless to say I still don't have a pressie for my friend ... aaah!  Hope you are all fit, well and warm.

Hugs

Anne

Christmas 2012

Morning!  The television was so rubbish last night that I popped upstairs to the craft room and did some creating.  There are still a lot of Christmas challenges on the go so here's the first one for this year!  Pink Petticoat have a sale on just now so a few things fell into my cart.  I was itching to use them so this was a perfect 'excuse'.  Today I'm going to get the house back to normal and the Christmas decorations packed away for another year.  It seems to have gone very quickly this year but I have to say, a good time was had by all.  Hugs x

Sparkly Fairy

Hi!  I managed to grab a few hours to myself today so I've been crafting and started watching Series 1 of Downton Abbey on DVD.  I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.  Mr C and I spent it with our daughter and her family and we had a great time.  Santa was so good to all of us, we're very lucky.  Although it's not New Year yet I've made a resolution ... I'm doing the inside of my cards as I go along so this one is the first!

Father's Day

I've had a lovely day today.  My friends and I went to the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh to the Artstamps Scotland Fair.  Needless to say there was much talking, laughing and spending!  Since getting home I've been making Father's Day cards as I've got a stall at Kinross Primary School fete on Saturday.  I'm looking forward to that as we lived in Kinross (many moons ago!) and our son and daughter went to school there.  Here are some of the cards I've made.
