Card Inspiration

Tuesday

Tuesday Thank Yous

Good morning and what a warm morning it is.  I am sat here at 5.30am and it is nearly 18 degrees outside.

We had a smashing weekend, I managed to get into town on my own which is something I havent done for months.   Sunday was a family day and I even managed to do a bit of driving again.  This means that the medication is kicking in and I really am starting to feel a lot better than I was which is a blessing.  It has been so frustrating wanting to do something and not being able to so I shall enjoy it while I can.


Some more thank you cards for this month which I have coloured in with Stampin' Blends.  Loved making these little notelet thank yous.  A little bit of bling on all of them too.  SU added more items to the Clearance Rack so if you want to grab a bargain please do go and have a peek.   Just click on the link below.

Mum is feeling a lot better now that she is back on the morphine, a lower dose of course.  She should be at the hospital in 3 weeks time but she got a letter and she is to go back tomorrow.  She is expecting to hear that she needs some kind of further treatment.  Christiana has had new medication to help as she has been quite poorly and she is feeling better.  So good news all around for a change.

Apart from THE CAR.  For the first time ever, I ordered a brand new car, an automatic as I am finding the manual gears a bit of a struggle when I am well.  We all know I cant drive at all if I am not the best.  This car was ordered on 17th February with a 10-12 week wait.  I waited. It arrived and days later the dealer told me "oopss Fiat sent a manual geared car".  I was upset and frustrated but nothing I could do.  I refused to accept it.  The dealer wasnt too bothered and despite my request to borrow an automatic car, they couldnt help me.  So another one was ordered.  I got a call last Thursday to say it had arrived, it was automatic and a driver was coming to pick me up this morning, to get it.  I have been so excited all weekend.  Yesterday I got a call, urm telling me, it was the wrong colour!!! Was that a problem?  Car ordered 17 February, phone call 17th September and still the wrong car.  The salesperson was very nice, apologetic and embarrassed but the Manager was very arrogant, laughing and joking and didnt really care.   I told them to shove it where the sun dont shine.  So I have gone elsewhere and ordered another one........just a 10 - 12 week wait sigh.

I have a day in the craft room today so if you would like to pop in for a cuppa and look on the sales table, pick up your order or just nip in please do.  Thank you for having a read and wishing you a lovely day.

Friday

Sunshine birthday wishes

Good morning and thanks for popping in for a read.  I have had a wonderful week sorting out the craft room and am pleased to say that I have filled the SALES dresser so if you would like to pop in for a cuppa and a gander, please do.  Next week I am doing the same with my wardrobe (no I wont put the clothes on the sales dresser but you know what I mean).

Mum has been back to doctors yet again and she was fortunate enough to see her regular doc.  This doc did not know mum had been and had her operation.  Mum has been going downhill the last couple of days just in state of mind, lack of sleep and discomfort and it seems that it is all down to stopping the morphine.  She should have been slowly reducing the dose of this so the doctor has given her a lower dose and in a couple of weeks in will get lower again, until she is off it. 

Here is a birthday card which got posted out to our nephew earlier this week.  Lots of us made this a few months ago and Paul loved it.


I have seen another couple of cards made with this pocket so hope to get it out of the box again in the near future.

It is Christmas Card and Chatter evening tonight.  If you would like to come along and join us you are very welcome.  It is £1 for the tea tin and you just bring along your own supplies to make your own Christmas projects.  We shall craft, chatter and put the world to rights as we do.  If you need details of the venue, please let me know.

Well I am up early this morning and as I have 101 chores to do I will be happy to get a few done.  Have a fantastic Friday.  Tracey x

Wednesday

Varied Vases and Stampin' Up! Blends

Good morning.  Up early again today which means that a nanny nap will be needed just after lunch, which is fine by me.

Yesterday was spent in the craft room continuing with the shuffle as best I can.  I didnt manage to take photographs of what is on the sales dresser but hopefully I will today.  Mr. Brown Van Man came and delivered a lovely parcel of SU goodies which are now all sorted out.  I just have one more parcel to come later in the week and I can get fully prepared for this months crafty get togethers.

Of course, I hadnt put away the Varied Vases stamp set that I played with the previous day so I had another little play.

This set is very addictive.  The fonts are wonderful and being photopolymer, you can see the placement of the images so easily.  I wonder what I can do with it today?  Oh yes, I am back in the craft room in between giving mum and dad a hand and doing a few chores.  I had a play with some blends on these cards and I found it to be very relaxing.  I used the note cards and envelopes to make these which are so handy as they are the perfect size.

Thank you for having a read today.  I hope you have a lovely Wednesday.  Tracey x

Varied Vases and In Colour Pens


Good morning.  A damp start to the day today but at least it is still warm.  I spent quite a lot of time in the craft room yesterday and will be doing the same again today.  I am having a good old sort out, shuffle round and at the same time, filling the sales dresser with crafting items looking for new homes.

In between the sorting I just had to have a little play

I have used the 2018-2020 in colour pens along witht he Varied Vases stamp set and punch.  It is a great set and today, I may just have to try something else with it.

I managed to drive yesterday whoop whoop. I had best get into practice as the new car arrives within the next week or so.  How exciting.

Thanks for having a read today and I hope you have a great day.  Tracey x
