Good morning everyone. Hope that you are all still healthy and well.
We are ok so far. Mr D has taken to sitting around, doing b%&&er all like the proverbial duck to water and I have shown remarkable restraint and fortitude by not strangling him........as yet!!!
I had hoped to do a bit more blogging but other things have a habit of getting in the way.
Sadly, a very dear friend of ours passed away in the middle of April. Although she had been ill for a few months, with cancer, she had been relatively ok but then took a sudden turn for the worse and after a few worrying days, she sadly passed away.
It has been devastating for all of her friends as we had not been able to see her for a few weeks, due to her shielding and now, we are also not able to attend her funeral.
She died on the anniversary of my Mum's passing, so I was already sad not being able to visit the cemetery.and her funeral is on the anniversary of my Dad's passing so I'm set for another extremely emotional day.
This week, another dear friend sadly lost his Mum and so that was another sympathy card to be made.
This is the grim reality of the situation that we find ourselves in at the moment, jokes about loo rolls and pasta aside.
Anyhoo, on a lighter note, I am back with my DT card for the new challenge at MAWTT and the theme for this month is ......................................
Well, I certainly didn't have to look too far through the files for cards with flowers lol!!!
As you may have a little extra time on your hands, why not join in and enter a card into our challenge.
Ingredients
White and yellow card

Distress Inks
This is made from an A4 sheet of card, folded into thirds for something different. I embossed the outer thirds only to give a decorative effect to the sides. It obviously still folds flat.
I must get myself back in the craft room. I had been busy making lots of samples for John's last show and for his next one but have lacked a bit of mojo this past couple of weeks.
I have still been doing plenty of walking, though not the past couple of days as its been too cold and too wet. Here's hoping for some warmer and drier days again as it had been lovely basking in some sunshine. Having been taken off some tablets 6 months ago, which made my skin photosensitive, its been fab to be able to spend more than 10 minutes in the Sun and not having itchy and sore skin if I did without factor 50 sun block.
Its the first time I've had a tan in 3 years lol!!!
I'm trying to encourage Mr D to get out for a bit of exercise too. He normally does a fair bit of walking as part of his job but for the past few weeks, he has only been walking between his chair and the fridge lol!!!
Just before I go, Karen, I don't glaze any of my flowers at all. I occasionally glaze leaves, if they are naturally shiny ones......... and thank you for helping keep the NHS wheels turning chuck.
Donna, thank you for dropping by. Hope that all is well in Colorado.
And, hello to my new followers. Thank you for clicking that button.
