As expected I am late posting this week as I have been away for the weekend to my parents in Somerset, only getting yesterday evening. It was a weekend when we celebrated their 40 years of marriage with a large family lunchtime dinner party.
The boys (aged 2-4) had their lunch before everyone arrived and were left to play as they wished while all 18 adults, chosen because they were family or had known my parents for their entire marriage, had a delicious meal.
It was so lovely to see everyone, especially as we don't all meet that often any more. The dining room table was stretched to its fullest extent and everyone had a wonderful time.
Having frozen on Friday night and most of Saturday, the temperature shot from -12oC to 5oC during the course of the day so on Sunday morning we were able to have a treasure hunt in the garden,
followed by a mud walk before lunch (no snow in Somerset!) and travelling back home.
Alex was most excited by the snow at the service station and at home so we had to have a brief, but fierce snowball fight in both places!
Needless to say crafting has been at a minimum but I did manage to make this new home card for a friend who has been living with her parents for the past 3 months having sold her house, but had problems in buying the new one. She is finally into the new home and everyone is breathing a sigh of relief! This card was made to enter into
Less is More 'Aqua' challenge and used the only two aqua inks I have, a versacolour pad and a promarker pen. I also used the free stamp from this months Crafty Stamper and the sentiment stamp from Crafty Individuals. This card also fits with
Crafty Creations 'Home Sweet Home',
The Pixie Cottage 'Clean and simple',
Paperplay 'get in shape', and
DYSU 'Anything goes'. That is all from me. I will be back as usual on Wednesday. Have a great week,
Love,
Caro
