Good morning and what a morning it has been. We left rather early to go and have a coffee and a catch up with my sister in law. It was lovely just to sit, to stop and find out what has been happening with the family over the last few months, I sometimes forget how the youngsters have grown up.
Then we nipped into a couple of shops before visiting eldest grandson who has a very sore throat and has Flu A. This is a highly contagious respiratory virus and it's the only type to cause pandemics infecting both humans and animals..... I didnt know that. The symptoms are a sudden high fever, cough, body aches, fatigue and sore throat. It can often lead to serious complications such as pneumonia so I am keeping away. We saw him for a few minutes, outside as his mum needed a bit of shopping and her hubby is currently abroad. He seems to be okay, on medication but is quieter and looks very pale.
The other grandson needs looking after for an hour this evening as mum has a dentist appointment and her hubby is also abroad so its nanny to the rescue, with grandad of course.
I see and hear that there has been lots of the white stuff in and around home, yikes. We got to view lots of photos that folk sent on the Facebook which was lovely. I do hope it doesnt last too long, snow, ice and fog really do make sure I stay home.
I made this little aperture card for a birthday girl last month and it reminded me just how long it’s been since I last played with apertures. Clearly, that needs fixing. With a much larger collection of dies now waiting to be used, I’m quite sure there will be some aperture-making fun happening in the coming weeks.
There was a fair bit of fussy cutting and stamping involved, but I have to say, I was rather chuffed with how it all came together in the end. I know I can share this as Birthday girl has received it (hand delivered).
So with lots happening in the Stampin' Up! world, here is a bit of a summary
