SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

Well .. .. what a fabulous Sunday.

Beautiful weather .. .. and lots of gardening done in the old House of Hearts!!  

Really pleased with all the planting and digging we have done but none of it helps with my ever increasing "do list" eeekkkk!!

What I would like to know is how come hubby and I spent exactly the same amount of time outdoors and he now looks like he has spent a few day in the Mediterranean and I am still super pale and un-interesting!!!  It's not fair!!!!  LOL!!!

But once indoors I knew exactly which stamp I wanted to play with because I had been thinking about it all day.. .. we have dug up so many dandelions this one just had to make an appearance!!  Though none of ours were ready for blowing their seeds everywhere .. .. we have been pulling the buds and flowers off as they have appeared prior to having time to dig them up.  There is a weird and strange feeling when you dig a dandelion up and get the whole of the root!!  (or is that just me?).

Was anyone else told as a child that if you pick a dandelion flower you would wet the bed?!?!  LOL!!

Anyway .. enough waffle .. .. here is my share for taking along to Di's Crafty Snippet Challenge:




As always I am lazy with my posts on a Sunday and don't list my ingredients .. .. but ask away if you want to know anything I have used.

Have a good evening everyone and a great Bank Holiday Monday tomorrow.

Love

  12. Dandelions are called Pissenlits in French which translates as "piss in bed" so I've always assumed that this is where the expression came from & yes, I was told it as a child :-)

    Love your dandy clock.

  14. Glad you had a good day in the garden - me too. Could it be that you had your head down wedding while someone else was heads up - soaking up the rays? Surely not.
    I remember the dandelion theory too.
    Great image and a super card.

  15. So cute! Love the sweet sparklies on the dandelion!! We would hold the flower under another person's chin saying, "If your chin becomes yellow, you like butter!" Well, DUH! Of course we like butter!!! =D

  19. So funny Jules, I told Len the wet the bed tale about dandelions the other day - he hadn't heard of it before! I wonder if our parents were worried that perhaps dandelion juice was poisonous and told us that one to keep us away from them?

    LOVE your snippets card, that little hedgie is one of my favourites. Great combination of colours too.

    Hugs, Di xx

  32. Hey Jules! Glad you got lots of gardening done!

    I love the card to match your gardening expedition! hehehe

    Great Hedgie, and ladybug, I so love ladybugs and Dandelions!

    Used to catch ladybugs in my garden as a kid, and picked LOTS of dandelions to blow the seed flutters off (no idea what they are called? seed flutters seem appropriate lol).

  34. Oh this little hedgie is so cute...love the bit of glitter on the dandylion!

    We battle them too especially in the front garden...we chose all shrubs and flowers...no lawn in the front...I think the dandylions think we were creating a bed just for them!

    Our buttercups are bad this year too!

  35. Fab card Jules, love the image.
    I think you just need to send more time in the garden or perhaps a trip to the Med!
    Have a fab evening.

  36. Hi Jules, love this card and another of those cute hedgies! Dandelions are good as a diuretic and the French word for them is Pis-en-Lit which translated means "Wet the bed" so I suspect that's where the saying comes from. Pauline xx

  39. I always love the PB hedgie, and this is one I've never seen. Loved your paper combo too, & I had to go back to check on the heart location! Yes, I've heard the bit about the dandelion & the bed. In the USA, our DIY store had a long tool, with prongs at the end, and you push a lever that sends the prongs into the ground. You center this over the dandelion, and yank the critter up. Then dump him off the prongs into a waste bag. Sure saves on the back! It's a chore I need to get after myself. Thanks for sharing such a cutie card. Hugs
