Good Morning All
Wow we had a great thunder storm in the night, gosh was it loud!!! And there must have been  dusty rain with it as everything is covered in red dust this morning.  John had to go down and bring the cushions off the outside sofa in. So this morning it is all muggy and clammy, so fans going full blast trying to keep dry and cool.  My daughter in law Facebooked me last night and asked if I could send her some sunshine, oh how I wish I could.  But I dont think she will want too much as she now only has five and a half weeks to go and I would imagine she is getting abit uncomfortable. 
I am putting together some CANDY to celebrate the birth and I will bring it with me to the UK in August (to post) when I come over to see baby.  I will post a pic as soon as I have it sorted, so I hope you will all join in.

Todays card I have just completed.  I am putting together some really ornate cards for a table sale in July at the local bar for a fund raiser they are holding to help the local poor families.

Twisted Easel

Good Morning All

So lazy today as we went out with neighbours for a lovely Korean Wok meal.  We walked down to the next village to the restaurant where they cook your meat/fish as you watch them, so it is all very fresh.  It was yummy too.  Then we came back here for afew drinks!!!!!  It was a belated birthday meal for me.

Todays card is a twisted easel, which I think looks very effective.

Good Morning All

Abit of a rush this morning.  We couldn,t stay at the bar for dinner last night after Spanish as they had a function on so we went  somewhere else and said we would go there for lunch today, but I have to meet one of my Charity ladies with some cards.  So just got up and had my yoghurt and a cuppa.
Todays card is a cutie (I think anyway), I do make a lot with animals on as they are going to animal charities.
