A CARD FOR A FRIEND

Hi Everyone

Well here I am at last with my up-date from the weekend.

We had a fantastic time meeting lots of people .. .. ..  both old friends and now new ones.

My lovely Sis sold lots of her bags and I sold lots of cards.  It was my best year yet!!

The weather was very mixed and finished late Sunday afternoon with the most torrential rainstorm you could imagine.  It was coming down so heavy that when you looked out of the window it looked like fog!!!

But it didn't dampen anyones enthusiasm .. .. in fact it made the place even more jolly as people dived in for cover!!

So a good time was had by all and now we are keeping our fingers crossed that it is run again next year.

Now round to a birthday card I made for a good friend's birthday yesterday.  As you may guess from the image he is Scottish.






This used:

Image:  Teddy Bo
Backing Papers:   Raspberry Road
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Cord from the Stash Box

So now the Festival is over for another year you would imagine I am sitting back and putting my feet up for a day or two?  .. .. .. .. but no .. .. .. we are now preparing for a wedding fayre we are doing on the 2nd October so it is all systems go again .. .. but in wedding mode now!!

So I may still be "AWOL" on the commenting front for a few days to come .. .. but I am trying I promise.

Catch you again tomorrow.

Love

    Loving Teddy Bo in his tartan kilt, he looks fabulous. You're the second person to use Raspberry Road papers today (hadn't heard of them before)but I've just spent some time downloading some of their freebie to try :) Carol x

    Hi Jules, what a smashing bear for your Scottish friend, just perfect. I'm really pleased that the fayre went well for you & your sis. It's surprising how people will still come out in the bad weather isn't it? But I bet you're glad they did.
