Valentine's Day

Another clean and simple Valentine card... Pink Petticoat Harlequin paper, Stampin' Up stamp. Easy peasy!
Still away from home, still waiting for Grandchild no. 2 ... we went for a walk down the hill to the centre of Bath this afternoon... and back, which is quite a steep climb, hoping that it would have the desired effect! I'll let you know if it does!

Granny by Daisy aged 2 and a half

There won't be a card from me today as I am away from home, but I thought I would show you a picture of me done just now by my granddaughter who is 2 and a half.
I hope you can see it clearly enough. I thought it was great, I have curly hair, fingers, pupils in my eyes... and she has included my earrings. The emergent writing at the side 'says' Granny and Daisy.

WOYWW

Today I'm a long way away from my desk and for the next who knows how many days, I'll be here in Bath in my own little room at my daughter's, ready to look after my granddaughter Daisy when my daughter goes to hospital to have her second child.
I hope she doesn't go too far beyond her due date, (which is this coming Saturday,) as I don't really want to stay away from home (and my craft desk) for too long. However, I didn't want to stay at home and then have to make a mad dash here should the occasion arise. It takes about and hour and three quarters to drive!
I can however show you the card I made for Daisy for when her little sibling arrives. Sadly it seems that I may have left it at home, what a good job I thought to take a picture of it!!
DO join Julia over at her Stamping Ground and see people's workspaces from around the world... the link is on my sidebar... and have a great WOYWW!

Stylish Blogger

The lovely Sue has honoured me with this fabby Award. I feel humbled that she finds my blog 'inspirational'... so thank you so much Sue!
In line with the terms of the award I need to tell you a bunch of things about myself and then pass the award to another bunch of inspirational bloggers, so here goes.

  1. Together with my friend Mandi, we have started a new Challenge blog for Clean & Simple cards called "Less is More". The first challenge is on February 5th. (I hope lots of you will join us)
  2. I had my appendix removed in France and a disc from my back removed in the USA.
  3. I like to buy Christmas tree decorations from wherever I go on holiday.
  4. My favourite foreign food is Italian.
  5. I prefer wearing trousers to skirts.
  6. I wear varifocal specs.
  7. My favourite colour is blue.
  8. My shoe size is 7. (41 continental)
To choose friends to pass this on to is a difficult proposition as there are so many who are truly worthy of this award... but here they are.
First and foremost.. Mandi, who has been working so hard getting our new blog up and running. Thanks so much Mandi, you're a star. Now, for my other choices... Deborah, Val, Anne, Anne, Bonnie, Heather, Paula and Lorraine.
Wonderful crafter's all, thank you so much ladies.
