Good morning everyone
Lots of you were keen to see my last two Ruby Anniversary cards before I deliver them.
I need to head off out into the big world soon so it has been a "once only" photo opportunity.
The pictures haven't turned out too badly .. .. the sun is in a strange place at the moment and was trying its best to spoil my pictures!! But I will forgive Mr Sunshine because it is just so lovely to see him .. .. I missed him yesterday. LOL!!!
Just look at that lovely blue sky in the background .. .. I hope it stays for the whole day!!
So here are my two creations:
The first is for a young boy to give to his Uncle and Auntie so it needed to be a little simpler

So after a "lazy" share yesterday I have hopefully made amends today! LOL!!
I am looking forward to a Bank Holiday weekend. Not that I will be doing anything any different to what I normally do .. .. they just feel special don't they?
I am busy preparing for the Melbourne Festival which will take place on the 18th and 19th September.
Lots of ideas in my head of things I want to take with me so lots of hard work scheduled. How big a "must do" list have I got!!!
The Festival takes place over two days and each year the weather has been lovely .. .. this will be my fourth year. I look forward to these two days all year as they are very special and I really enjoy them.
If you are heading off for a holiday over this weekend break then I hope you manage to avoid all the Bank Holiday traffic and have a safe journey.
For those of us staying at home .. .. .. you have a good time too and I hope you have time for a little crafting.
See you tomorrow.
Love Jules xx
