It is 8 years today since my daughter, Claire, and her husband, Steve, got married in Las Vegas.

We had a fantastic time there, it was such an amazing place. As you can see Elvis attended the wedding and sang a couple of songs. Below is a photo of Elvis, Claire, Steve & the best man, Sid.

Claire & Steve

Below is the card that I have made them for their anniversary - hope they have a lovely day.

hope you like it.

At the end of October we had a free weekend - our rugby match had been cancelled - so we thought we would spend it in Scarborough. My favourite place of all time in Scarborough is The Harbour Bar - no it is not a pub as most people think, it is an Ice Cream Parlour. They serve such delicious ice creams like a Chocolata - which is in a Knickerbocker Glory glass and has lots of ice cream, chocolate sauce and nuts - and Bananarama, which is similar but with bananas. Yummy!! They also serve the best coffee in Scarborough.

As we arrived and drove round the bay people were putting their gloves on and had their hoods up and it looked really cold. It was quite windy but we enjoyed walking round the bay from the North to the South.

We stayed overnight and then went on to Whitby the next day and we actually got a bit of a sun tan - in October! I was surprised at how busy Whitby was.

Here are some photos of me and my husband David.

It was really nice to actually have a weekend to ourselves as our lives are always very busy with work and rugby etc.

What a busy day I have had today.
I have been to the Craft Show at The Dome in Doncaster and really enjoyed it - I always enjoy shopping at the shows.
I met up with my daughter Claire and later with her husband Steve and my gorgeous grandaughter Florence. Unfortunately only saw her for about 3/4 of an hour.

I had a bit of a treat as we were driving along the M62 - on the hard shoulder going in the opposite direction were two men walking along - absolutely stark naked!!! My husband said they must have been on a stag do but how embarassing for them - and they must have been frozen.
I am hoping to get to make some cards this coming week although I have about 20 t.shirts to embroider for the rugby club.
best wishes

Whilst sorting through things I also found this card which I made last September for my husband's birthday and thought you might like to see it.

This is the front

It opens out a bit like a star card.

Hope you like it and thanks for looking

It is Saturday morning and I am just waiting for my husband to clean his car and then we are going to Meadowhall. I haven't been there for over a year so I am quite looking forward to seeing all the Christmas goodies in the shops.

On Thursday evening I went with my sister Kath to a Stampin Up party which was hosted by Julie Kettlewell. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have bought lots of Stampin Up products but have never been to a party before. Thank you Julie

I have been sorting through some things and found this card - I made one for each of my children last year so that they could cherish the memory of our lovely border collie, Bess, who had to be put to sleep in April 2007 aged nearly 15 years old.






I also made up a verse for her




A few months later I was taken ill and had to have a major operation. My neighbour said that she believes that everything happens for a reason and that if Bess had still been alive I would not have been able to look after her and walk her. My husband had enough to do looking after me and running his business and the house so he wouldn't have had time for her either. Poor Bess.

These last couple of weeks seem to have just passed and I don't feel that I have achieved anything. I have been busy but don't seem to have got anything done.

My sister, Kath, told me she had seen this thing called a ribbon box on the Internet which looked really good. I thought I would have a go at making my own and I was very pleased with the outcome.
I had a see through bag which my son had bought me one Christmas with nail products in, so I made lots of holes in it and then poked the ribbon through, trying my best to keep it in sections of the same colour.


I am really pleased with it, what do you think?
