VICTORIAN LADY AND SOME VERY GOOD NEWS

Hi Everyone

Did you think I wasn't playing tonight?

Busy, busy day in the House of Hearts with lots happening .. .. including snow!!

Some of the happenings have been very serious stuff .. .. which I feel happy to share now because it had a happy ending today.  I won't bore you with all the details but in brief we having been living the last 6 months with hubby under threat of redundancy.

It has been a very long and drawn out thing but thankfully today we have heard that he is safe and will be kept on .. .. but sadly not all of his work colleagues are going to be.  He is going to have to say goodbye to some good workchums  :-(

So we are very, very happy today and breathing huge sighs of relief .. .. .. but feel so sorry for those that are not so fortunate.

It has been a very scary time and has put life into perspective for us.  The thought of thousands and thousands of people going through what we have .. .. ..  but not coming out of it with a happy ending is just  heartbreaking.  What is the country coming to?

We do realise we are very, very lucky.

I haven't mentioned it before because I want to keep my blog a happy place for people to visit .. .. and hopefully I managed to do this.  A few of my blog buddies have known what has been happening and I want to thank them very much for their support and friendship (thank you so much xx).

So tonight has involved lots of talking that has made me late.  Sorry!!

But at last here is my share:

This used:

I am entering this card into a couple of challenges:

and

Woodware USA Weekly Challenge:  Where something "new" has to be used .. .. .. well my something new cannot actually be seen .. .. it is something I used.  A Tim Holtz paper distresser!!  Blimey - don't they make a mess!!  Never used one before until today .. .. I think it will only get used when I am due to vacuum the craft pod!!!  LOL!!

OK then.  That is me for tonight.

Hubby's lovely supper is ready (yes, he cooked .. .. even though he is poorly LOL!!)  and then tomorrow we are going to have a little celebration with a special little bottle we having been saving for an occasion worth celebrating.  We feel the occasion has come. 

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
