SNOW

It was freezing yesterday and lots of towns and cities around us had snow but not us. Well woke up this morning to a Winter wonderland with everything white. Some parts are beginning to melt in the sun but we are still getting quite heavy snow showers. Think I will stay in today and keep warm and get on with making some more cards so watch this space......

Meantime found this wonderful picture of a beech tree covered in snow -

Friday already!

Haven't had much time to craft these last few days had the doctor on Wednesday and now on an extra pill [over and above all the rest that I take]for my blood pressure. The doctor is not happy with it lately as it has been higher on each visit to the surgery. Started taking them today so will see how I get on.
Yesterday OH was off work as he had to go through some tests too as they are concerned for his blood sugar count. I do hope he does not have to go onto pills like me for diabetes as he has enough to cope with. It doesn't sound to bad as his blood sugars were 6.2 and that is good to me as I never seem to get below 7. something but of course I am no expert!
Off out this afternoon to a craft event at the local community centre with a friend, so that should be interesting. Will have to wrap up warmly as it is soooo cold today. Where-ever you are wrap up to and take care. Have a good weekend folks!

Introducing Tia

Well I promised you a picture of Tia as soon as I had one so here it is. Tia is about 2 and a half years old, is grey and white in colour and is quite shy until she gets to know you.
As I mentioned earlier my son and his wife got her from the Cat Protection League. Cannot wait now to see her and Poppy, and get some more pictures - hopefully real soon.

At Last, some cards

Forgot to post these on Thursday but had a very productive day and made five cards in all, four Christmas ones. Hope you like them.



Haste ye back.........

Introducing Poppy

Another week nearer the end of the month and it has gone by so quickly. I had my grand-daughters staying on Friday and Saturday so it was a lovely change for me. Unknown to them their folks had a surprise for them on Sunday - a lovely Jack Russel puppy which the girls have christened Poppy! On top of that my other son and his wife, got themselves a lovely cat from the Cat Protection League which they have called Tia, so our family has expanded by two - can't wait to see the new editions. Here is a photo of Poppy that my son send us and as soon as I have one of Tia I will let you see it.

Isn't she gorgeous!

Birthday Card

Well I made a start with a simple card for my B.I.Law's birthday. Mens cards can be so difficult to do so I used an image from my Greetings Card CD and then decoupaged the picture 3 times and added ribbon and a few embellishments. Hope he likes it.

It's Me!

Hello all from my very neglected blog! No excuses just not been in the right mood and have not been online blogging or crafting for a while. If truth be told I think I have been a bit depressed with what has been going on with my health. Fortunately, my good friend came down to visit and stayed the weekend so that has lifted my spirits a lot. I am hoping I will feel more like crafting soon and post some much needed Christmas cards. Bye for now.
