A sign of things to come.......

Good Morning and Happy New Year everyone.
Well here we are with another year full of surprises i expect. Last year brought some  very sad news for us. This year will be a year of happier events if God is willing!  We will celebrate our Golden Wedding later in the year and finish the year with a big Birthday for me....yikes! 
 Well now lets get to the first crafting session of the year for me....shame Mojo is still on holiday, I haven't a clue where he went!!!!!!
The New challenge of 2014 over at Mo's Digital is Anything Goes. A nice easy one for you, just to help get you in the crafty mood again. In my case it was a good job as all my stash had to be packed away for Christmas as I work in the lounge ..the dining end!
So here is my CAS card...till I get all my crafty stuff back out.

 Something else to really get you inspired is Mo's sale...wowee!!!!!

Hubby's little silver Santa is 71 this Christmas....whoo hoo!

Thank you all for your friendship throughout  the year and all the wonderful comments you leave me, they mean a great deal and have encouraged me no end.

 Also a huge thank you for all the thoughts and care you have expressed for my Sister over the past months. We did at last get some answers a few days ago (20th) Their certainly kept us waiting! So the update on that is......

She has Cysts on her Adrenal Glands, they will be scanned at regular intervals to see how fast they are growing as they could become malignant.

Secondly it seems her Diverticular disease has changed somewhat and that needs to be checked more regular, She has more tests in the new year to check a few things out.

She is doing quite well at the moment.

Huge Thank you everyone for your Love and support.

Christmas Blessing Everyone

Decisions!!!!!

Good Morning everyone,
Well here it is Thursday yet again and the last one before Christmas at that!  I have a million things left to do.

Over at Mo's digital this week, the challenge is Your Favourite card/creation of 2013...well for someone that is never satisfied with any of my work it really was a challenge to choose.....lol
I decided at last to choose this one............

 I just loved colouring this little sweetie and as I love the LOTV papers it was certainly a winner for me. I was quite chuffed with it really :o)

 It was posted here 
The challenge will run for Two weeks so will take us to January 4th, so you have time to enter hopefully. I know everyone will be busy from now on but I hope we see you at some point. 
Wonderful News......Hope I can spill the beans now???? if not I will have Pat after me......yikes!!!!
This should have been my last Mo GDT spot..  but whoo hoo!!  I was asked if I would stay on for another three months. I can't believe how lucky I am...yippee!!! of course I had to do the usual thinking hard before I answered, then I said "well I suppose so"...ha ha.... You bet I said Yes Please, So I will be back in 2014  along with this amazing team of girls, and the wonderful Mama Pat xx
Thanks to everyone for your continued support, I hope we see you in 2014 with even more of your fabulous creations.
Happy Christmas to everyone and a wonderful Happy Healthy New Year. xxxxxxxxx

Saying sorry with inky fingers..

Hi Everyone,
I want to welcome Sally H my newest follower, I am so happy you found me and decided to stay Sally, Thank you so much xx
I am sorry to say All my followers have vanished at present...can anyone help me with what may have happened???
 Just popping by to say Sorry that I have been missing most of the week. Had a manic time with a full program every day. Took my Sis to do all her Christmas shopping, A full and very tiring day! She wanted to get it done though so we paced ourselves with lots of coffee and lunch/tea breaks. She thoroughly enjoyed it. 
Then had a lovely early family Christmas on Friday for our youngest daughter and Grandchildren before they set off for South Africa this Morning. Its going to be dreadful them being away as they haven't gone under good conditions to say the least. That's another story for another time, after all it's Christmas and who wants to be sad.
Well After Friday and our family Christmas..I did a Hot buffet for twelve....whew!!! Then come Sunday and my Birthday, so Celebrations yet again with a full lovely day out. We had a lovely celebration meal last night as the Pub didn't do meals on Sunday night. We were going to York today too but Hubby has a lousy cold so we will go on Thursday if all is well.
Well are you tired reading about all this traipsing about!!!.....lol I am
Well now to my inky fingers, I made these last week and when I went to pop them into my neighbours I realised I hadn't posted them so here they are.

The second was very quick indeed...Cut the panel off...cause I made a mess of the other half.........NEVER!  how could you think that!!!!!....he he

Well thats it for now as off to town to get Sniffling W---- some Lemons and honey...MEN!
Hugs xx

A little loving...
