Frou Frou

Hello peeps!

Phew, what a busy day I had yesterday.  I took my car to the tyre place and while they were doing whatever they'd to do I popped into town, went to the bank and did a few bits of shopping.  After I picked up my car, and a pleasantly small bill, I met my cousin for lunch and we caught up with family stuff, put the world to rights then mulled over the impending referendum.  It was then back home to finish making my steak pie.  I'd cooked the meat before I went out in the morning but still had the pastry to do.  Tatties and veg were already prepared so I was ready with a hot chocolate when granddaughter came in from school!  Daughter then came in and the chatting began in earnest!  After they went home I spent the rest of the evening in my craft haven as, for me, the telly was rubbish!

Today I'm off out with my Aunt and I think we are heading for Crieff.  We haven't been there for a while so it'll be a wee change.  

Best go and get organised now or I'll be running late.

Hugs

Hi one and all!

I forgot to schedule this last night as I was out with family and our granddaughter's friends for a meal as it was her 16th birthday.  Where have these years gone?  Anyway, we all had a lovely time and she was throughly spoilt as always.  I'm actually sitting here with a cuppa by my side along with a piece of birthday cake (no calories in it, ha ha).

It's time for another Suzy Bee challenge so here is my offering.  Off now to have a play.  Mr C is away to work, it's hissing down outside and all the housework is done so I think I deserve it.

Hi everyone!

I'm not going to say good morning as it's far from that.  Another soaking wet day, I think we'll need to start building an ark!  Best not complain as it could be worse ... it could be snow.  

Nothing much happening in our household today so I suppose I'd better get the iron and hoover out.  I might just get a little play time in the craft room in the afternoon.

Take care and try to keep dry.

Beside the Seaside

Hellooooooooo!

I'm a bit later again today cos I met my granddaughter in town for lunch.  She'd a few things to get before going back to school next week.  We had a lovely afternoon with warm sunshine again.

I'm trying to keep quiet as Mr C is sleeping as he's on night shift just now.  Tonight's his last night and he's usually a bit grumpy by now!

Hope you like my creation for today.  Off now to take in the washing and get the tea on.

Hugs

Sparkle & Shine

Good morning!
What a beautiful day it was yesterday.  My friend and I had lunch then instead of going home by the motorway, we took the scenic route through the hills and it was stunning.  What a difference a wee bit sun makes.

Today I've a card for Ooh La La Creations with a lovely theme of Sparkle and Shine.  I've added Star Dust Stickles round the image for the sparkle and the hearts and dots are the shine.  When I read the theme I didn't think a wedding card would be appropriate but after a bit of thinking (!) I liked this image and found it worked very well.

Hope you all have a good day whatever you're up to.  I'll get to the bottom of the ironing pile eventually then I need to hop into town.  My new bus pass is sure getting some use!
Hugs
