MOJO MONDAY

Hi Everyone

Happy Monday!!!

I hope you have had a good day.

Mine started off a bit worryingly in that people turned up next door to fell a huge tree that must have been at least two double storey houses high .. .. huge would be an understatment.  Of course I had visions of some of it falling into my garden or worse still going through my greenhouse!!!

Thankfully I couldn't see them working away .. .. but I did sneek a peep every so often just to make sure all was still as it should be.  It truly was a work of art as they had to be so careful to remove the right branches first. 

I went down the garden at one point with my washing and the main "tree fella" was right up on the top branches of the tree with his magic hoist and chain saw and shouted down to me ... "I'm finding you some extra light for your garden duck" .. .. but of course being the cheeky person I am I replied "Does your Mother know you are up there?".

He laughed and said "No, and don't tell her .. .. she would be a nervous wreck if she knew".

We have ended the day good mates and he even came round before he went and told me to get my washing in as it is going to pour with rain!!    I fetched it all in and now it has brightened up .. typical!!

Still lots for them to do before the tree is gone .. .. it is the highest parts that are left .. .. eeekkk!!

Anyway, whilst all of that has been going on I have been crafting away and today's share is a creation that used this week's Mojo Monday Sketch.





 
This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1590F" Loving Mice
Sentiment:  LOTV
Backing Papers:  Aimee Asher
Crystal Stickles
ProMarkers
Ribbon from the Stash Box

and here is the sketch I followed


So that is me for today.

I hope you all have a lovely evening and thank you for all your lovely comments on my snippets of yesterday.  By far the favourite was the last one .. .. the Paper Artsy birdcage!!

Love

    Sounds like you've had an exciting day, Jules. It's amazing how they get these trees down without any branches going wayward isn't it. We had the same thing last year with a neighbours Eucalyptus (that's not spelt right but you get my drift!!) and I kept a beady eye on them thinking the same things as you but we hardly even got a leaf in our garden, pretty impressive when the tree was right next to our fence.
    It's a great card, i love the ribbon and just to be in fashion, my favourite is the bird cage from yesterday too!!
    Hope the sun shines for you tomorrow.
    Hugs Lisax

    Hi Jules, sweet little card and love the bit about the tree being felled...I'd have had to do more washing or gardening so I could keep an eye on them lol.

    This is lovely Jules! I love what you did with the sketch, it's fab. We have some massive trees in the garden next door and I dread the day they are taken down, all the roots are under our lawn as we found out when we dug it over to returf! Thanks for your lovely comment on my WOJ card :-)

    Such a sweet card Jules, I love the image.
    You've had an exciting day then, we could do with that fella round here as we have a big Eucalyptus that could do with a 'trim', needs someone that knows what their doing as it's huge, hangs over next doors greenhouse too which is a bit worrying when it's very windy.
