Hubby's 50th Birthday Card

50th Birthday Card - Twisted Easel

It was my hubby's 50th birthday and as I had been quite ill in hospital and just discharged, I hadnt a clue what I was going to do for a card for him.  I made a couple and binned them (as we do).  The day of his birthday I gave him all the other cards he had and I still hadnt finished mine for him.  Bits were on and then off and then in the bin.  Eventually I made this one.  It was rushed and not what I wanted but I finished it and gave it to him when he finished work.  It was the first twisted easel card I had made and might not make another.

New Job Card

My hubby lost his job just after I moved in with him. It was a bit of a struggle but we managed - what a start to married life. I was delighted when he got a new job and made this card for him. He's a poker player, so thought this was appropriate.

Some Sad News

1943 - 2011

After four years of battling with cancer my dear friend Kathy passed away peacefully yesterday. Kathy was such a lovely kind and caring person and touched many people's lives. She fought this battle very hard and to be honest she was given 3 months when she was diagnosed which shows how determined she was to beat it. She had exceeded many goals and I guess we all thought that she would continue to beat them. I am completely devastated by the news. My thoughts and prayers are with all her family. There will be such a hole in their lives. RIP Kathy.

Happy New Year

Sorry this post is late but have just recovered from a bout of flu. Hope Everyone has a fantastic year and wishing everyone Health, Wealth and Happiness.

Hubby's Christmas Card

Because I've been so poorly before Christmas and after I hadn't managed to take pictures of any of the cards I have made. The only one I have is my hubby's card. Had planned to take more pictures but just didnt have the strength.

Next year I'll be more organised.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone

This is a very late posting as both my hubby and I have had flu since just before Christmas. We havent even had Christmas dinner yet. Will probably have our Christmas dinner at New Year. Thank goodness for freezers. What would we do without them.

Here is a picture taken out of our bedroom window on Christmas eve. Snow was everywhere. So now we've had some I dont want it back again. It looks lovely until it stops everyone from doing what they need to.

Lands End

Douglas and I havent really had time to have a long weekend since we got married, so planned a few days off and went to Lands End. Weather was really good and we both enjoyed ourselves. Walked lots. My camera isnt working for some strange reason so not able to take pictures of any cards I have made recently. Will need to get another or get it fixed.
