Oh my Crazy, Crazy husband

Well what can I say other than he is as mad as a hatter.
Over the last few weeks we haven't had a great deal to laugh about and I have been pretty down today. Chris (husband) usually shaves his hair on a weekend and this one was no different, so out came the shears and whilst I was sitting at the computer he was not far from me shaving his head.
He then went on to say "well that didn't work very well" and yes I had to ask the question "What didn't"
He then turned to show me what he had done saying that I'd been so down lately he wanted to do something to make me smile.
and here it is, he had shaved just below his chest.
I think it worked perfectly


A Gift Arrived

Look what arrived all the way from the US, one of my cyber friends Julie (Grace) made this beautiful necklace for the last Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.
Not just that but I also received a wonderful Card to accompany it. I feel so very honoured that Julie sent this to me the necklace is even more stunning than the photo shows.
Thank you Julie.


Thank You for the Cards

I thought I would show you some of the wonderful cards I received from fellow crafter friends.

They are all beautiful with thought and care put into making them and wonderful words of sympathy.

I have kept the picture size quite large so if you click on the image you will get a closer look at them all.

Giving Thanks - Flourishes

Both my Mam and I thought it was only fitting to send a thank you to all that gave money for the I.C.C.U. at the hospital who were marvelous in Dads final days.
I thought after chatting to Mam last night that I'd better make a start and at least design something ready for the making, I wanted something simple yet elegant and with the right wording.
So this is what I came up with.


As you can see we need a fair few of these, so before I knew where I was I'd made 14.
At the front is the envelopes which are also stamped to match the card
with the flourish stamp by PTI.
