Noel

Good morning crafty friends.

The weather has gone really warm again hasn't it?  I was getting my warm clothes out as it was getting cooler and lo and behold, the weather's changed again?????

Anyhow, I have a card to share.  On the blog of one of my crafty friends, Sarah, she used a lovely Woodware large word stamp and I loved the card she had made with it.  The word she had chosen was cake and decided to get a Christmas one (well actually I got two - the other to be shown sometime in the week lol) .....



Yesterday, we had a lovely day out with my friends who came to visit me.  We went for a long walk to a place called Solomon's Temple (in Buxton, Derbyshire).  Although it is a lovely place the walk actually nearly killed us.  Guess we are getting older lol.  In fairness it is a very steep climb to get to the temple!  That's my excuse anyway!

  1. Thanks for the shout out, you lovely lady!! This is a lovely card Michelle (oh dear, think I might need to get more of these stamps!!) and the papers you have chosen suit the paper piecing perfectly. Looks like you had good weather for your walk and my word, isn't Brandon growing!! It was thick fog here this morning and freezing cold yet now the sun is out and it's really warm...there, that's autumn for you. Enjoy the rest of Sunday and I look forward to seeing the next Woodware creation xx
