Good morning Duckadees! Hope everyone is funky fine.
Well, if I have scheduled this correctly, its Monday morning and I'll have sweaty palms and a churning stomach at starting the new job finally.
I'm hoping my palms are the only sweaty bits this morning (steady now!!!) as Mr D has been dreadfully ill for the past few days. He was a bit sniffy and chesty on Wednesday and then worse Thursday. By Friday he looked and felt awful and over the weekend I've been quite concerned. He has been roasting hot one minute then freezing cold the next, physically aching, shivering and shaking, in addition to the sneezing and coughing.
At the time of typing, he has now eaten something and is a bit better. I'm just hoping I haven't woken up with the sniffles and looking like Worzel Gummidge just in time to make a terrific first day impression at work. . . . . . "Good morning Madam. . . . . . Waaaaaahchooooo!!! Please let me wipe that off your glasses" hahaha!!!
Now, today's card is Mr D's Easter card and its a sad indictment that I know its safe to put this on here, as he doesn't look at my blog lol !!! I know there is a bit of blingery but he did comment recently that the cards I make for him "don't have sparkly stuff on them"
I don't know if he is getting in touch with his feminine side or if he just has bling envy lol !!!

I have used a fair few Creative Expressions products as I'm entering this into the Creative Expressions Blog Challenge for March (theme is Easter)
Well, that's me done for now as I have to go and re-choose my outfit for the morning (that choice has changed several times lol !!!) and mop Mr D's fevered brow (he is currently wearing pyjamas, a sweatshirt, jogging bottoms, a gilet, his thick fleecy dressing gown and 3 pairs of socks but in half an hour most of it will come off as he gets too hot!!!)
Keep everything crossed for me please folks for a happy job and germ free hopefully lol!
Take care all.

Well I hope your first day went ok? Brilliant card for Mr D, hope he starts to get better, and hasn't passed it on to you. Hazel x
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Ang, love the colours and those gorgeous beaded pins! Sure hope you have a wonderful first day at work today!! Best wishes to the Mister, hope he feels better soon. hugs :)
ReplyDeleteGood morning Ang,
ReplyDeleteWell flower i wish you all the best for your new job start today, you will be fine flower but i know just how never wracking it is and especially when they don't know yet that there is a mad side to your personality as well ;)
Mr Ducks card is lovely and those easter eggs have a lot less calories in them than the chocolate variety which is not to good on ducks digestive systems and now he has his own bling he doesn't need to covert anyone elses now does he?
I hope that he is more able to go paddling again soon in the duck pond but it was probably him trying to swim the length of it thinking that it was the english channel that did it to him, all that high winds are not good for ducks, they need to seek shelter, not continue to put in those wadding miles for the epic journey and he is just a wee duck so it would be too far for his wee ducks legs and feet. Get well soon Mr duck, i would say a hot whiskey or brandy toady but we don't want a drunken duck as well as everything else on our hands, do we
Love and crafty hugs

ReplyDeleteHi Ang,
ReplyDeletehope your day went well at the new grind stone.
Super card, and wonderful creation.
Love that fab shaped die.
I do hope Mr D is getting better now.
Biggest get well wishes, and tell him to keep away from the pond for awhile, as his feathers need to be kept dry, and warm.
Lots of hot milk, and brandy me thinks.
Good luck in the challenge, I had forgotten that.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hi Ang. I do hope that your first day in the new job went well, and that you haven't picked up Mr Duck's nasty bug. Hoping he is on the mend too, of course. Take care
ReplyDeleteHi Ang,
ReplyDeleteMr D's card is just ducky (sorry, couldn't resist). I think you've used just the right amount of bling to satisfy him lol.
I hope all went well today at your new job. I've had the devil walking as I crossed my legs this morning for you and keep falling over!!!

P.s. I hope what he's got isn't catching, and that he recovers soon.
