A thought for the day: To make or not to make a “Father’s Day” card for your partner. Recently both myself and my husband’s friends have ridiculed us for observing Mothering Sunday and Father’s Day with each other. I do understand their view that I am not my husband’s mother, nor he, my father. However, […]

Happy Father’s Day

A Father’s Day card for husbands, Dads in the whole wide world!  Sadly my father-in-law passed away in October 2007 and alas, also my own Dad after a long fought battle spanning several years with leukaemia on 29 April 2009.  The ache of losing a loved one dulls in time, but we remember them in our […]

I used the Attic Boutique Papers with this one – just love […]

Bright Blossoms

It’s Carrie’s birthday today, and I rushed to post her card last week thinking it would have plenty of time to get there as she’s celebrating her birthday today.  Then I saw on Facebook that she was leaving for her hols the next day, so I didn’t think my card would reach her in time to take […]

Much excitement today – we’re having a Street Party!  Swapped one half of the family with another – daughter and her brood went home yesterday and now my son and his will be coming to join in the Jubilee party today – our bunting is up!  Hubby was out at the crack of dawn to […]
