Good afternoon everyone.

Today was my last day at work for the next ten days and what do you know......It's Raining!!!!!
Anyway today I have another card to share. This is a Father's Day card that I made for my partner's dad.

The image is taken from one of the Coloured Art Pads ~ Vintage Boys from LOTV, these are great if you are in a hurry. The papers are Country Gent and the Father's Day stamp are also from LOTV. The pearls are from The Hobby House. I wanted to keep this card fairly simple.
Thank you for stopping by.

Another UFO Completed.....

Good morning everyone.
I hope everyone is well.
Today I want to share another UFO that is now.....'Finished'.
At the start of the year I decided to try and work my way 'slowly' through my stash of unfinished objects and projects.....all was going fairly well then I stopped.
Well anyway I have managed to complete another project......at last.

I'm sorry the photo isn't very good but I had to hang the bauble on the door to get a decent picture and the light was terrible. This is another Christmas bauble made from folded squares of material and pinned to a polystyrene egg. I bought the kit from The Harrogate Knitting & Stitching Show a couple of years ago and like many things it stayed in a drawer destined never to see the light of day.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
Have a lovely day.

She Passed.....

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I don't have anything crafty to show but I just wanted to share some news as a very proud mum.
My lovely daughter Brogan passed her driving test this morning.....looks like we'll have to share the car now......

Congratulations Boo.....We're so proud of you.
Well Done.
XXXXXXX
Thank you for popping by.
Enjoy the rest of your evening.
