Hello!

As the card says, Hello!

Washing all nicely dried yesterday while I was out with my friend.  We'd a lovely lunch then a walk through the wood.  I couldn't believe how warm it was again but if Mr Weatherman is to be believed temperatures are due to plummet at the weekend ... oooooh, I haven't had a jacket on for weeks!

I'm having a day in the craft room doing some sorting of the cards I've already made.  Hopefully I'm going to have a stall end of November or beginning of December so I'd better get organised as time seems to pass so quickly! 

Enjoy your 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!

Morning one and all!

The sun is shining when I look out of one window and the sky is black as night from another ... who knows how it will end up!

I spent far too long at my desk yesterday and my back is giving me severe niggles today so I'm going to have to be a bit more active.  We are having the drive cleaned and the mono block resanded today so that will make the place look a bit tidier.  Considering it's about 15 years since we had it done it's not looking too bad though.

Unfortunately the distress inks don't show up particularly well on the photo but I have to say I'm pleased with the effect.

Hope you enjoy your day ... off to be busy!

Hugs

Good evening one and all!

Time certainly flies when you're enjoying yourself.  I've been experimenting in the craft room tonight, perhaps the results may be seen tomorrow!  All of a sudden I realised what time it was and had to make a quick card to post.  I've also been having a sort-out on my computer as it's running like a slug and I don't want to lose anything before I get around to getting a new one so I was filing stuff onto my external hard drive.  Heaven help me if that ever goes wrong :-(

I had a lovely afternoon with my granddaughter today.  We lunched then shopped, what more could us girls ask for!

Sleep well.

Night night!

Hello!

Wow, another beautiful day.  I'm just home from town and couldn't get what I wanted.  I wanted little round white stickers to put on the ends of my promarkers but there is a distinct lack of stationers here and WH Smith didn't have any.  Will need to pop along to the office supplies warehouse as I've no doubt I'll get them there but it wasn't on my route today!  

I got the idea for this card from Pinterest.  There is so much inspiration there that I can't keep up!

Hugs
