Hi Everyone
Well what a wonderful weekend I have had .. .. just a few more hours left before my lovely family all disappear to different parts of the country :-( boo hoo!!
It has been brilliant to all be together again just like the good old days. Our youngest slept over too on the sofa downstairs .. .. what a lovely feeling to have everyone here under one roof. Aren't I soppy?!?!?!? It doesn't take much to make me the happiest person on the planet!!
It has felt like a little mini Christmas.
Last night we had a meal, along with my lovely Sis and her chappie .. .. we let the men folk go off to "the local" and sort out a Chinese takeaway whilst us "ladies" stayed at home and did a little photo shoot of my lovely Sister's wedding bags. It was great fun. If only you could see all the rubbish that was "out of shot".
Hopefully my Sis will be sending me over some of the pictures she took as my little project with the flowers I posted on Friday were part of the photo shoot (up-date before I even finished the post .. .. the pictures weren't as good as my Sister would have liked so we might be back to square one there).
In the meantime here is my snippet make for Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge .. .. one which I made this morning whilst everyone else in the House of Hearts was fast asleep.
As always Sunday is super lazy in the card making department and I simply post what I have made without any ingredients .. .. but feel free to ask about anything other than the sentiment stamp. This is part of a stamp set I bought at the NEC years ago and I have no idea who made it. All I have are the stamps and no packaging. Sorry :-(
OK .. .. so now I am off again and we are going to catch up with the X-Factor results (behind time) and to make the most of all being together ahead of an early night along with a very early goodbye .. .. .. at 3.00am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love

Jules congratulations on having such a fun time with your family. I'm an 'only child' and it's never bothered me but I do envy those who get on well with their peers. My two girls are like chalk and cheese but are still there for each other so that's something I guess.
ReplyDeleteLove the card too.
Cheers, Elaine
No you're not soppy at all. Not long after I moved here all the family were under one roof for a while - 5 grandchildren all in the same room -something that doesn't happen very often - and it did me the world of good. Hope you don't get a bout of the empty next thingy tomorrow though.
ReplyDeleteSuper card today - love the paper pieced trees.

I adore this card Jules (but have never seen one from you that isn't just right anyhow!). A lovely contemporary Christmas card - and also made when you'd been in the throes of so much family fun too. Not that's Snippets dedication!!
ReplyDeleteLove, Di xx ....and Sam is every bit as daft, and lovely, in the flesh as in the Playground :) She brought paint charts for the tree house and Piglet plasters to replenish the First Aid box!!
Wow these cards are so cool Jules love them ,loving the trees they are fabulous x
ReplyDeleteAww sounds like you had a wonderful weekend Jules… there is nothing like the feeling of having all your family together!! :-))

ReplyDeleteLovely card - the Christmas trees are fab - non-traditional too. Glad to hear that your weekend was such fun for you though such a shame that the photos of the bags didn't work out so well ... good excuse to get together with your sister again soon :) Hugs, Elizabeth xx
ReplyDeleteHi Jules, sorry it's been a while but I had a bit of a blog break to concetrate on other stuff. Love all your recent makes especially the teddy bo card for your son & you personalised it too! Glad to hear your family came to stay & you all had a wonderful weekend. I can't remember the last time that all my family was under the same roof, how sad. Have a great week & don't work too hard.

Hi Jules that is just stunning, I love the simpleness of your card, and that image is just fabulous. Im hoping to have my girls altogether for my birthday this year, but as my grandson is due to be away I dont think its quite all of my family but Im keeping my fingers crossed. hugs Shirleyxxxxx

After I quickly spotted the heart, I admired your quirky trees. So neat. Great job and hard to believe it was a 'fast one'...didn't look like it! So happy for you that you had all your family to enjoy over the weekend. Those are the bestest of times. TFS a card make while you had so much more lovely things to enjoy. Hugs
ReplyDeleteLove the funky trees!! They are fabulous!! Hugs Juls
