What horrible weather to come home to. Ken and I have been on a 2 week winter break to Lanzarote and loved it. We have never been away at this time of year before, but it's certainly something I would do again.
So my posts have been scheduled and everything seemed to go fine until Wednesday when the post went live but no photos!!! Thanks to those of you who left me comments but I didn't have access to a PC, only had my Ipad, so I couldn't do anything about it. But here now are the pics.
I used a Gecko Gals image and MME backing paper, cut from a 12 x 12 page.
So I got 4 for my collection. Trouble is I haven't written one yet, got lots to do now.
Some Frantage to add a bit of bling.
And the snowflakes made from punches.
The washing machine is on, I have a project to get made today for a workshop I am doing on Thursday, I have to work most of next week and the decs have got to be got down from the loft.
But I am now excited to get into preparing for Christmas and seeing the family again.
By all accounts Becca is doing well, she is back at school part time and doing her mock GCSE exams to see what she needs to catch up on. The Consultant was pleased with her when she saw him last week. Thanks everyone who has kept in touch with me about her and thanks Terry for your parcel which I saw when I checked my post this morning. I will be getting in touch with each and every one of you personally.
See you soon, thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

So glad you got such a well deserved break and what fantastic news about Becca to come home to! Since you only seem to have one speed - top speed - I bet you will have caught up by the end of the weekend. In the meantime these cards are delicious. I'm betting Oriental is about to go huge again so as ever you are ahead of the trends:) Welcome home, hugs Jenny x

ReplyDeleteSo pleased to hear your grandaughter is gradually picking up her life.

Definitely not the best weather to come home to.......winter woolies to be sure.
ReplyDeleteGreat news on Becca, such a brilliant child to get straight back to school.
Loving your beautiful cards Brenda, enjoy the weekend, Annette x
Ah, you see... well worth waiting for!! Gorgeous cards... So glad you had a great holiday. I completely agree it's the perfect time to escape, but it is doubly hard coming back to the grey drizzle!! Also delighted to hear that Becca is doing so well...

Gorgeous card!!! Kudos on the holiday...much needed I am sure! Hope Rebecca received my card. So happy is well!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time and that Becca is doing well. It made me laugh about your photo not appearing because I just assumed it was something I was doing wrong - I thought I needed to have some special account or join something to be able to see it!!

Welcome back to Blogland! Glad you had such a lovely time and only one glitch is probably good, computer wise. Thrilled to hear Becca's been able to do the p/t schooling... that's so positive and must make her feel like things will eventually return to normal. Love this beautiful project and your gorgeous snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and welcome home Brenda!
