Ha! I'm on a ...

... roll!  Another day that's gone to plan - after a visit from the littlie granddaughter's and their Dad. 

Suitcases to hand, meds together, all batteries charged ... and my Kindle. Paul has put out what he needs to have pressed before packing and I've done my list of what I'm taking. Just hope it all goes to plan tomorrow! Paul is out early to collect his new specs and while he's gone I shall be ironing what needs ironing and then it's down to packing.  I'm hoping to get it all packed, or the bulk of it, tomorrow. It's been a while since I packed for 2 of us *LOL* Most of my packing of recent times has been for me only. Don't want to be stressing about it on Tuesday although ..... I've a shirt to collect from M&S on Tuesday.  Yep, we ordered one to be collected from the local branch. 

Now for another couple of shoebox cards ...
Toni's *grin* Now this one I really did mess up!  So much so that I was gonna have to bring it home and find some different card to mount the coffee mug onto but Greta came to the rescue. She phoned home to get her OH to raid her cardstock and get him to drop some up. It duly arrived, a choice of 2 shades of cream and I started again ... from scratch! The card you see here is not the card I started off with, with the exception of the plain brown card, however everything else is exactly as intended :0)


Trace's offering - a giant 8 x 8 inch card. Never made one as big before but it showed that, with the right embellishments, it can be very successful. Not sure I'll make many, if any, of this size off my own bat but I like it, none-the-less. Wish I'd thought about chopping out the middle of the plain sparkly backing card for use on something else but I didn't. Seems such a waste to have such beautiful card hidden behind that pretty snowflake backing paper *grin*




Thanks for dropping by .....
