HERE AT LAST!

Hi Everyone

Happy Thursday!  Rubbish weather here today .. .. but we have the promise of a beautiful weekend so something to look forward to there!

Life has been a bit of a blur here in the House of Hearts since the wedding fayre on Sunday.  My feet haven't touch the ground and I still haven't even packed everything away that I took with me .. .. or that I got out to make last minute new samples with!!!  The double bed in the spare bedroom (aka the storage of everything wedding related room) is covered in boxes of samples, rolls of ribbon, card and bling .. .. all waiting to be returned to their rightful place!  

The fayre was really busy with lots of interest and lovely new couples to meet.  I love hearing all their plans and ideas .. . no two weddings are ever the same!

I had a lovely surprise last night.  One of my brides called by with some wedding cake and a thank you card. How special was that?  I was really touched that she had thought of me.

I also dipped my hand into the box of images I have already coloured which are patiently sitting waiting to be used .. .. and came up with this:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1447H" A Gift For You
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat (no longer available)
Backing Papers:  Kaisercraft "Butterfly Kisses"
Spellbinders Nestabilities:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle  Large
My Trusty sewing machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Glamour Dust
Ribbon

A post from me at last!!  Yay!!

Have a good day everyone. 

Love

  5. Lovely to see you blogging Jules, and what an adorable image and card. Really pretty.

    Great news that the Wedding Fayre went well - and so kind of a couple to bring you a thank you card and Wedding cake.

    Ooooh, I'd love to have a good old rummage in your spare bedroom :)

  6. Another great card with my favourite hedgehog image. Had a little smile on my face when you described you spare room bed- snap that's mine most of the time but mine is things for gift baskets/ baby gifts, had to do a very quick put away as husband had to sleep in there, he developed a very bad chest infection and he couldn't get up the stairs to our bedroom plus I would have been worried he fall down the stairs. I keep wanting to turn the spare room into a proper craft room with a fold away bed but again it's come into use as a sick room it's down stairs and near the bathroom . So it will have to stay as a spare room. Hazel xx
