LAZY SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Hi Everyone

I'm having a bit of a lazy day today.

I was up bright and early trying to make my house look "less lived in" ahead of visitors arriving and we all headed out for a carvery meal for dinner. It was super yummy (especially the chocolate brownie sundae) and it has left me feeling very full, content and lazy. One of the visitors came back with us and we have had a good old chat over a cup of tea .. .. but now they have gone I can catch up with blogland whilst hubby watches the football he has recorded.

Last night we went to a wedding reception and enjoyed a lovely evening. It was really funny to see all the place names I had made standing on the tables. I had read and checked everyone's name so often that it was quite funny to suddenly be able to put some faces to the names.

I made the following card to take with us

and the close up

I nearly sealed the envelope up without taking a photograph but remembered just in time .... .... eek!!!

This used:

Image: Lili of the Valley "S112" Wedding Couple
Sentiment: Stampendous "J180" Mr & Mrs
Backing Papers: Dovecraft "Back to Basics" and DCWV "Wedding Prints"
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
ProMarkers
Rosebuds, ribbon and gem from the stash box

So last night ended my very first wedding order .. .. and as a thank you for my help I was given the following lovely flower arrangement. Isn't it just gorgeous!!!


So that is me for today.

I am now going to continue in lazy mode and have a good old blog hop. There is lots of visiting I want to do!!

See you soon.

Enjoy what remains of Sunday.

Love Jules xx
