Good morning everybody. How yawl doing?
I'm still waiting for my scan but trying to remain upbeat................probably not the best turn of phrase as it was the upping of beats that got me into this predicament but you know what I mean lol! The Achilles is also doing better with the orthotics.
For those who kindly enquired after Mr D, his mouth has all but healed and he thanks you for asking after him. Its just his hearing and eyesight we need to fix but I sadly fear that they are genetic issues allied to the Y chromosome.
I do wonder if the males are identified as "Y "as that's how most of them respond when you ask them to do something........."can you please close the wardrobe door?"......"Why?" "Can you please put that box in the bin?"........"Why?"........you catch my drift ladies lol!!!
Now, after the MAWTT interlude (hope you have all had a peek at the challenge) I'm back to the samples I did for Mr Lockwood and this is number 4. I like trying different things with ribbon as not everyone likes big bows (our Lydia) and I thought this card could do with something less intrusive than a traditional bow.

Well, I shall be having a lie in this morning as I will have been up late watching the Canadian GP Qualifying highlights.
Cara, dont even think about it. I dont think my blood pressure could take seeing Flash trim his hedge, ahem!
Patricia, cant always promise chirpy but certainly cheap cheap! (Showing my age again)
Maria, hope that the leg heals well and its not at an angle awkward for crafting.
Hope you all have a happy Sunday, especially my Highland Chum Kate (Cuilliesocks) as its her 21st birthday today.

Ps.......Tina E I don't know if you'll see this but thank you for your comment and you're more than welcome. Some blogs I used to comment on require you to sign up to Google+ to comment, which I wont as I feel Google has too much info on folk as it is. Hope your family can feel peace in time.
Good morning Ang. This is gorgeous - layout, embossing folder, stamps.... Hope you're still taking life at a slower pace.

ReplyDeletePoor Hubby, but I know what you mean, but at least he listens enough to ask why, Alistair has become quite deaf these days.
However, he loves your gorgeous card which has pride of place on the mantelpiece, well would do if we had one, it's on the cd case, Kate x

Hi Ang, absolutely gorgeous card don't think I saw this one on any of the shows maybe just forgot it is an age thing. Hope you enjoyed your lie in and glad Mr D is better.

Hi Ang, this card is beautiful, love the way you have done the ribbon. Glad to hear that you and Mr D are both doing better. Bx
ReplyDeleteLovely card, saw the shows when they were first shown, and looking forward to seeing the rest is the flat bow done different to a normal bow.
ReplyDeleteHello Ang,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and I like the way you've used the ribbon and bow. Although I do like the blousy ones as well, if they are not too big.
I was at my daughter's Street Party for HM 90th Birthday Celebrations yesterday and had a fantastic time as there was so much fun watching the games and competitions. It was a real old-fashioned party. Weather was cold, damp and miserable, but hey we are hardy Northerners.
I hope you get your scan soon, and am glad that Mr D's mouth is fine now. Like the Y chromosome comment - you are right again!!

Never tried this type of bow - it is very effective.
ReplyDeleteGreat card.
Anne (Northampton)

ReplyDeleteHi Ang,
ReplyDeleteAnther stunning card from you today, really beautiful. Glad you are on the mend slightly but as for the scan...well it is a waiting game, a ridiculous one for something so important. I hope you hear from them soon my friend.
Take care
