PLEASE FORGIVE ME .. .. BUT .. ..

Hi everyone

Please forgive me for being late with tonight's post .. .. .. but I have been very busy!!!! Very busy relaxing and enjoying myself!!

My first bath in 10 days!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!! It was lush.

I stayed in for ages - until all my little fingers and toes went crinkly and then some.

We thought we would be able to have a bath last night - but no (even though I looked forward to it all day). Things didn't go to plan - but today they did. One lovely hot bath and three candles .. .. .. .. oh I know how to live it up!!!

I have never gone 10 days without a bath in my whole life - even in the olden days I used to have a bath once a week. Every Sunday in front of the fire in a tin bath in the living room. (I was lucky because I was always second to use the water. Poor Dad - he was always last!!!).

Mum would have a little water boiler going in the kitchen and keep emptying and topping up the bath after each person indulged.

Anyway enough of that - here is my card

This is a card style which is ideal for using up the scrap bits in your boxes - which is what I did. The only problem is you never know where all the scraps came from - and because the pieces you can use are so small you end up never throwing anything away.

The things I have used that I do know are:

Baby.. .. .. Sentiment: Debbie Moore (stamped in pink and embossed with Transparent Crystal embossing powder).
Baby face and It's a Girl Sentiment: Woodware FRCL019 "New Baby"
Heart: Anita's Stamps
Safety Pin: Quickutz
Button and Ribbon from my stash box
Kiss Heart: Quickutz

Thanks for calling by to catch up with a "well chilled" and "very clean" Jules.

I am hoping to get lots of crafting done over the next few days so will have a few more things to share soon.

Love Jules xx

    Lovely neat card Jules. That little duck is sooo cute!

    I can remember the tin bath in front of the fire at my Granny's (where we lived when I was little). I'm so glad we don't have to go through that palaver these days or I think I might just have to go around dirty, Lol.

    Hi Jules your bath sounds wonderful and quite soothing and relaxing especially with the candles. I love it when people share memories of the olden days I think they were quite special.

    The card is gorgeous beautiful colour and design is perfection look forward to seeing your creations again.

    Hi Jules

    I'd be worried the wrinkles would stay put if I soaked in the bath for so long!!!

    Hi Jules

    I love this style of card, lots of odds and ends, but rewarding knowing you have been frugal - is that a word that goes with crafing ?

    I remember those "olden days" as well, but I was an only one so first in.
