Hi Everyone
Well what a day it has been in the old House of Hearts .. .. it started off very badly in that hubby couldn't find his wallet after our night out last night!!
I don't know. We don't go out for months and then disaster strikes when we do!!!
So we have telephone calls to the police and to the taxi firm who brought us home and to cancel the bank cards that were in his wallet .. .. and we won't mention the cash. We decided it was either on the taxi floor or he had dropped in getting out of the taxi and someone could have picked it up.
The taxi people couldn't get in touch with the driver because he hadn't finished work until 4.30am and would therefore be sound asleep .. .. as he should be.
So frantic searching took place and you wouldn't believe the stupid places we looked.
But thankfully by mid afternoon the taxi people had been able to get in touch with our driver and thank goodness he found the wallet in the back of the taxi and we were able to meet up with the driver (and give him a reward for his honesty!!). So there are still good honest people in the world!! Yay!!!!
The day has been thrown completely off course .. .. but eventually I found time (very late in the day) to shuffle my snippets around my craft desk and this is what I came up with for taking to Di's Crafty Snippet Challenge this week.

So that is lazy me for today.
Only just going to eat .. so I will link up in a bit.
I hope your day has been less eventful than ours!!! But at least ours is ending much better than it might have done!
Love

Am exhausted just reading this!! LOL Another yummy card Jules. Hope tomorrow is a bit more serene!!! x
Oh Jules, what a worrying day you've had! Thank goodness it ended well, and three cheers for the honest taxi-driver!
It's another beautiful card made with those fabulous papers. Yes, I bought them (stash diet be blowed!) I think the silver cord on your card is just delicious!
Have a happy week!
love Mags B x
PS I was so chuffed when I saw not one but two articles by you in 'Quick Cards' this month! It must be hard work for you, but I really appreciate it!
love (again) Mags B xx
gorgeous card love the design Jules!! and so glad hubbie got his wallet back!

Hi Jules.
Well, I'm glad there was a happy ending to your story. It is indeed good to know there are still honest people around.
Your card is stunning. I love those papers and the way you have added the silver cord to the circle looks wonderful
Hugs Sue
Jules, I'm amazed that you managed to make anything at all after the day you've had! This is absolutely gorgeous - I really love those papers! Tracey x
Thank goodness the taxi driver found your husband's wallet. I suppose the card cancellation will still have to go through though. I was in a similar position just after I moved here. The first time I went shopping in town I got my purse nicked and I had just drawn out a wad of cash too.
Your card is lovely - I really like the central element with the silver thread.

Jules, you are true crafter to create such beauty after the chaotic day you had! And, mind, simply made by shuffling your snippets around!
After your day, I'd have been slumped in a corner of the sofa, slurping an adult beverage! But it was a delight to read about the happy return of the wallet!
Oh, Jules, there would have been NO WAY I could have made a card like that after a SCARE like that!! Bless that taxi driver!! But your card is gorgeous--love the silvery thread action!
Blimey thankfully you got the wallet back. It's always a heart stopping moment when you realise something like that is lost. I love what you have done with this card & the twine wrapped around the circle. Great idea. X
Beautiful card. Glad you got the wallet back!
Goodness me . . . WHAT a day Jules. Still, alls well that ends well eh? Lovely to hear that honesty is still alive despite what the news would have us believe!
Your card is just beautiful and I am still LOVING those papers.
Hugs

Hi Jules, Thank goodness for honest people! it is a nightmare when you lose handbags/wallets. This is a lovely card and I especially love the way you have put the twine around the mat to look like rays. Pauline xx

Gosh wasn't Hubby the lucky one! Something like this happened to me only to find it jammed under our car seat and the only way we could get it out was to take it to the garage to dismantle the seat etc because of the air bags. Fortunately it was a company car so we did not pay the astronomical garage costs. I think they made something up! Oops!
Anyhoo I digress. Fabulous card there and I am really loving these colours!
xx
Whew! What a nightmare. Glad it turned out OK! I love, love, love the rays of starlight! Very magical indeed!
Hi Jules, what a terrible experience, glad all came good in the end and the wallet is safely back in Dave's pocket. I'm sure making this gorgeous card was calming and therapeutic. Love the corded topper. Elizabeth xx
