AT LAST A CARD


Hi to everyone, regulars and new visitors

Thank you for being patient and returning. My lovely son passed on yet another bug to me, and then went off to scotland on holiday with his girlfriend. I won't go into details, but it ended with severe aching in the neck, shoulders, arms and back. Because my Ebosser eventually went to crafting heaven, I didn't have the strength in my arm to use the musical one ( Joy Trouvaille ).

Anyway, you can't keep me down for long.

Thank you all for my birthday wishes, that was so thoughtful X

This card is something a little different for me, well maybe not, well maybe a little. You decide! . I hope you like it.

COMMENTS


Hi Everyone

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend, and that the weather is more pleasant where you are, and not like a wet Wiltshire.

I just wanted to drop a line to say thank you for all your lovely comments, or shall I say all the ones I can read. I changed something on my blog to be able to receive more messages. Although I received 35 messages, when I went in to read them only 16 came up. I just didn't want any new people looking at my blog thinking I was rude in not saying thank you.

So until I try to sort out my blog I would like to Thank You all BIG TIME.

If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful.

See you soon

CEDT


Hi,  to Everyone who visits my blog regularly and to those who just pass through.

I had some fantastic news late last week, that I was lucky enough to get a position on the Creative Expression design Team. I've had some lovely messages left on my blog saying I should be on a design team somewhere, and when the position to join the CEDT was announced, I was encouraged to apply, I never thought I for one moment I would be lucky, and to get a position with Creative Expressions is a wonderful compliment. Now I am "very nervous", there's one thing applying and another achieving it. Good grief what have I done.

Thank you all so much for the support you have given me over our tough times lately and for the lovely congratulation messages.

Love

Tina XX :-)

Just love em so much

Just wanted to share this with you all. bubble is always the one to give cuddles, and she really loves her bro!

They are on the cat chair in my workroom having a cuddle





aren't kitties so cute. I have never rescued two kitties from the same family before, and watching them I think all pets should be be given a home in pairs, it's so beautiful to watch. this is how they sleep most of the time.

So Lucky


Am I the luckiest person ever. I have made some wonderful friends on my blog who have given me such support lately, with everything that is going on. I came home from the wholesalers on Thursday, I had only been in a short while and the door bell rang. When I opened the door my lovely postman Jym was stood there with a big smile on his face with my post and two boxes. I was so choked when I read the cards. I had two beautiful bunches of flowers, one from, Lancashire Steph and Margaret corgi owner. I know these lovely ladies as Steph and Margaret, but I just wanted you to know what beautifully, kind people I have on my blog and also on Sue Wilson's blog. Thank you so much  Steph and Margaret for your support.
