A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

GUESS WHO IS SHATTERED ?!?!?!

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a good Sunday.

My lovely Sis and I have had a great day at the wedding fayre .. .. we were at the FA's New Training Ground in Rangemore .. .. but we didn't see any dishy footballers.  In fact we didn't see any footballers at all (or if we did we didn't recognise them LOL!!).

It was very busy and we met lots of lovely "happy couples" all excited and happy to share their plans and dreams for their special day.  

I always struggle taking pictures when we are all set up ..  ..  but I did try and this is the best of a bad lot. 


.. .. and that is my lovely Sis in the background proving how clever she is in being able to text and look elsewhere all at the same time!!  LOL!!

As predicted by you all the rustic collection was well received and got by far the most interest.  Though the blingy black and grey table plan and associated stationery on the right was also very popular.

I am so pleased I am married.  I just wouldn't know what to choose if I had my time all over again (other than the same hubby of course .. .. I wouldn't swap him for all the craft goodies in the world!!).

So we are home now and I am shattered.

We are going to have a Chinese takeaway tonight so no cooking!  Thank goodness for that!  Hope I can stay awake long enough for them to cook it!!

I'll catch you again tomorrow.

Love

Your display looks magnificent, Jules and I can spot a few of your sister's lovely bags too. Wonderful, wonderful table planners and beautiful stationery. Now...you have, however, posed a difficult question..."all the craft goodies in the world or the hubby" Mmmmm - I'm still thinking about that! Hugs, Lesley

Hi Jules, your table looks wonderful, your talent is plain to see. I agree with you, it would be just too hard to decide what to have if l got remarried, your creations are all beautiful.

Your Sis's bag looks perfect for a bride, l hope she is also finding success with her bags.

Hope you stayed awake to enjoy your Chinese otherwise it's likely you took a nose drive into your sweet and sour lol

Big hugs xx
