DAY TWENTY ONE - Darling Dinos

 

Good evening! I’m very happy to report that I think I may finally be turning a corner with this dreaded lurgy. It has well and truly knocked me for six, but I’m cautiously optimistic, it’s been a few hours since I last had a temperature, a coughing fit, or that awful sore throat. Fingers firmly crossed that I’m on the home stretch now.

With THE wedding just three days away, I won’t lie,  I was starting to panic that I might not be well enough to attend. Isn’t it amazing how quickly our minds leap to the worst-case scenario when we’re run down?

Sadly, the bug has now made its way to little Maximos, who has been poorly for the last 24 hours. A trip to the doctor confirmed he’s on the right medication, but it did mean his first birthday celebrations had to be postponed. Not quite the party we had planned — but we still took lots of photos, sang “Happy Birthday” to him, and we’ll be collecting a well-earned slice of cake tomorrow.  Celebrations can always be rescheduled.

Below is the card I made for him using the Stampin’ Up! Darling Dinos stamp set, a cheerful little creation for a very special (and very brave) one-year-old.

 So, while I haven’t quite had the energy to get properly creative just yet, I have been busy behind the scenes planning ahead and February is shaping up to be a month full of crafty goodness with lots to look forward to!

I’ve already mentioned our One Sheet Wonder Day and that’s just the beginning. We also have Festive Friday coming up, along with a Kit Night, which is always a firm favourite. Then there are our lovely Crafty Week get-togethers, where a group of us come together to create cards using Stampin’ Up! products.

We’ll be making at least two cards, and we don’t hold back,  co-ordinating papers, ribbons, embellishments and all sorts of crafty extras will be in full play. And even though we’re all working from the same ideas, every card turns out completely different… which is half the magic and always the most fun!

If you fancy joining us and getting in on the creativity, I’d absolutely love to hear from you, do get in touch.

Thank you for having a read today, Tracey x
