A Big Thank You

Thank you so much for all your  lovely messages 
on my last post. You are all so kind.

My sister was due to go home last Monday.
Unfortunately she had a 2nd fall and they
said she would go home on Wednesday last week.
Sadly they were unable to get a Care Package
ready and then it was each day on! and on!
They have promised it will be tomorrow, Tuesday.

My gorgeous Daughter-in-Law, is a long way 
from home at the moment too!!

She is working at the Olympics in Japan,
as her role is a Sports Psychologist with
the Ladies Hockey Team. They won 
their first game this morning 4 - 1!!

My son sent me a picture of her,  he took 
off his TV this morning. Thanks BBC!!

This card is just for stock.  I have to replace 
my cards, for another Nursing Home where 
I take cards, for staff and residents.

The old map is one I had, which I used for 
a holiday in Europe, many years ago. 
I will post a bit more on that soon.

The stamps are an old set from LOTV.
I thought it was about time I used them again! 
Coloured with Copics and edged the map
with DI  Vintage Photo.



I know a lot of you have had problems with 
Storms and too much rain. 
I wish we had just a little bit, as I can't
remember when we last saw any rain!!
I am going to have to get the hose out tomorrow.
The plants are looking very sad. 
The soil is like concrete!!

The rain clouds just go over us and forget
to drop some here. The sun is really hot
through the window in my Craft Room ,
and I have the blind down at the moment!

I will now stop moaning!! 
Thanks for popping in and like on my last post, 
your kindness is wonderful.
Big hugs,
Carol

Shocked!!

This Tuesday gone, I got a call that my sister was in
Hospital. The sister that has been a carer to our older 
sister, that has Alzheimer's and also a carer to her own
husband, who had a big stroke a few years ago!!

Now she has had a stroke!! 
Why is life so unfair?!!!

We are hoping it's not a strong one and I had
a good chat with her today. I am still finding it
difficult to get it into my head.

This card is using another old stamp and papers
 floating around in an old box!



I stamped the glass twice and the word 'Cheers' as well. 
I then fussy cut them out and painted everything with Distress Inks.

The glass I stuck in place, using 3D foam to shape it.
I then put Glossy Accents all over the glass, the word 'Cheers'
and also on the green handle. 
The 'foam' on top of the beer is Pinflair Snow-it.

Yippee!!! I have a Craft Fair in a couple of weeks, so busy
now, sorting all my stock out. 
So excited!!

Thank you for popping into my little blog and leaving me
such lovely messages. Love reading them and returning onto your blogs.
Stay safe!!
Big hugs,

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!

A very quick post tonight.

Firstly, I would like to thank you for your lovely comments on my
post of my friends furry birthday gift.

I am going to start one for her daughter next week.

This is a very old stamp and I still like it for a bot of fun.


Just coloured them with Copics and added some Glossy Accents
onto their glasses.

Off to bed as it's nearly 1.30 so an early night tonight.

Thank you for dropping into my blog and love reading your messages.
They are much appreciated. I will also get to your blog and leave a message too.

Stay safe.
Big hugs,
Carol
