I am sat here in my workroom writing about this weeks Christmas card on this soggy Sunday and blowing a bit of a hoolie day. Well wasn't summer great!!, all of 3 days long. I'm sure we'll get some more sun soon, fingers crossed, at least the flowers are looking beautiful for the rain.
My card this week is a mobile. I made one last year when I first joined the CE DT team, called A Partridge in a pear tree, some of my regular ladies will probably remember it. I'll put a picture of it at the bottom of this blog. Although it's been wet here today ( Sunday ) the ceiling fan has been on as it's still quite warm, and the mobile tree is spinning and sparkling. I managed to get a butterfly in for all the ladies that love butterflies as much as I do. I hope you like this one!
Today ( Tuesday ) is our 36th Wedding Anniversary. At the weekend Paul asked me what I would like as a pressie. I said surprise me, and he said he would have a look what they have in the pound shop on Monday, cheeky beggar! 36 years, my goodness that has gone by so fast. I've asked to have a take away for dinner, so I will raise a glass and a sweet & sour Prawn ball to you all, and say thank you so much for your visit to my blog.
Here Goes!

Hi Tina,
ReplyDeleteforgive an old woman - am mortified I addressed you as Margaret, but I suppose it was her mention of the Pound shop and mounting foam that made me do it. And I'm sticking to that (feeble) excuse.
Hugs, Rose
totally forgiven XX
DeleteHi Tina,
ReplyDeleteWhat a triumph! It's gorgeous! I love it all. The poinsettias are gorgeous! Flowers are U , without a doubt!
I also love the tree and the butterfly yes! I knew you could. I think he/ she looks quite at home!
Many Congratulations on your Wedding Anniversary! Do you think your husband intends to spend just £1 or will he really lash out! Ha ha !
Sounds just like the sort of thing my husband would say.
Lots of love and many thanks,

Hi Myra
DeleteThank you for your lovely comment, glad I got a butterfly in too!
Paul did buy me something in the pound shop, it was some foam tape as he could see I was getting low. I also had a beautiful bouquet, chocolates and he said I could have some dies, so not bad eh!

Hi Tina
ReplyDeleteBelated congratulations on your 36th wedding anniversary!
Tina, this card is absolutely gorgeous, so ornate and classy. decorative is so easily overdone but boy, you got this right on the money!
Sorry I've been late or missed your posts lately, between teeth, hospital and a lot more tiredness than usual it's all passed me by.
Have pinned this as I love it! (I have a WheelyBad Pinterest page, none of my own on... yet! It's finding the time to upload them)
Hugs, T
Hi T
DeleteThank you for the congrats. It sounds like you are or have been through the mill lately, I'm really sorry you are feeling so tired too. Thank you for thinking my card is worthy of a pin, that's very flattering. You keep saying lovely things like that and I will have to widen my workroom door. Thank you T
I am a bit thick when it comes to computers but I will try and find your pinterest page.
