ANOTHER QUICKIE

Good morning!  I am not sure where this year is going but we are now in the second month already.  Maybe I should start planning Christmas so that I am actually organised this year lol.

Ever have one of those days when your best made plans go awry?  I was just about to embark on climbing Mount Everest (AKA tackling the ironing pile!) when my darling daughter phoned up and asked if I could make a card for her boss!!!  (She makes better cards than I do ... the daughter not the boss!).  What was worse was that it was a Wedding Acceptance card, and had to be in lilac!

A few cuts and punches later, I came up with something that was reasonably presentable.  




Poor old Misha is still feeling under the weather after having her bits removed on Tuesday, so I will be phoning the vets today for some advice.  We had to cut her collar down and alter it with masking tape to make the edges a bit softer as she could not get her head in her bowl to eat or drink!  The up-side of all this is that she has become really cuddly and affectionate ... at the time of blogging she is curled up in our bed asleep!

  
Do I LOOK like an Elizabethan???

Keep warm and have a good day!  TTFN

A GET WELL CARD

Just another quickie .. this time a get well card, although I am not sure if I should have made it for Misha as she is feeling very sorry for herself after being spayed yesterday.  For the first time in 5 months I haven't had help when making a card, which seems very strange, she just isn't up to doing a bit of crafting today!

I covered a Sizzix embossing folder in ink and ran it through the Big Shot, together with a Spellbinders shapeability label die and a few home-made paper flowers.

TFL, I will be back when the cat is better!
