GM Sue. Very lovely and sparkly. Fab card.
Love this card Sue. Lovely glittery Sniwglobe and the frosty pine cones are stunning again.
Congratulations to our lucky winner Jan L, enjoy your card.
Donita, are you okay, your brief post had a touch of sadness yesterday. Thinking of you.
Carmen, hope all us well with you too.
CraftyJo, you take it easy, don't want a setback. I had forgotten that you mentioned before that you ride a motorcycle. Brave you, I prefer 4 wheels. You will soon be out there having your wind theapy.
But of a sad day for me at work yesterday. My beautiful kind gentle friend left yesterday, she has decided she couldn't take anymore even though she will be financially struggling a little for another two years before her pension kicks in.. We will be meeting for coffee sometime and will keep in touch but I will miss her lovely smile each day.
Paw print, you are going to be busy girl, there will be sparks coming off your die cutting machine, good luck.
Elaine, hooe your laptop keeps going. Love to you and the family.
Hugs to all, especially all poorly and missing friends.
Morning Sue.
Thank you a beautiful card so pretty.
Congratulations to Jan L.
Take care Kitty.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, beautiful snow globe card today, will watch the video later.
Congratulations Jan L.
Pam I reiterate all you have said above. Sorry about the sadness at work, although you will not see her every day, you know she is with you and keeping in touch regularly will help too. special hugs.
Off to a Groovi workshop today, doing some grid work on parchment.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue. Beautiful card but I'll have to save the video for later.
Congratulations Jan on your Wednesday win. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Such a pretty card today and very elegant too. Congratulations to the winner.
Morning Sue, Just playing catch up on your blog since getting back home. Sometimes you wonder if a break really is good f or you as it's been manic. Loved yesterday's two fer especially the little gingerbread people. Will give that one a go.
Today's is rather special though. I do like your shaker cards but will watch the video later as I need to be able to absorb your instructions.
Congratulations to Jan. Enjoy your card. Hugs xx Pauline

Wonderful!
Congratulations to Jan on her win! Debra x
Morning Sue, what a gorgeous shaker card, love the whole design, and those pine cones are a festive must have. Well done Jan. Have a good day everyone. Bx
Good morning Sue,
What a beautiful and classy card! I love the neutral colours and the gold hexagons add a lovely splash of bling, very opulent. Thank you for the tutorial.x
Hi Sue. What an adorable sample and tutorial, if there's one thing I love other than your dies, it's watching you put a sample together it's so lovely and relaxing. I really really am sad that finances have stopped me from investing these dies as I know just how much they would be loved and appreciated at market by those daft enough to leave their warm comfortable homes to walk round a country park when it's freezing cold lol. Next market after tomorrow is 17th Dec so it's all or nothing as far as festive sales go. Next year I'll have these dies plus another couple to eek up my kiddos cards, so something different both for me to work on and for people to see.
Congratulations Jan, nothing nicer than receiving a Sue sample to cheer you up - enjoy.
Sending love and hugs xxx
Lovely card today.
Congrats to the card winner.

Love Diane G xxx
Congratulations Jan on winning the card xxx
Pam echoing your comments today. How sad your friend has decided to leave. I know financially it can be a struggle but sometimes when you're not working you save money, not only on petrol parking and clothes but you cook differently because you have more time so don't buy preprepaired foods. I'm sure not having all the stress will help her too. It's a shame for you though but I know you will keep in touch with her. Sending hugs xxx
Tracey sending hugs xxx
Morning Due, a really great card today. Who can resist a shaker card.
Pam, so sorry your friend has left, I am sure you will keep in touch though. It must have been a hard decision for her to make, shows how bad it was. Thinking of you.
Love Rosemarie X X
Hi Sue. What a lovely shaker card today. Love all the sparkle - you can never have too much sparkle at Christmas!
Lisbeth
Hi Sue

Well done to Jan , enjoy your card .
Pam i feel so sad for you ,i know what its like when a best friend leaves the work place of course you will miss her dreadfully , but think of all the chatter you will exchange when you phone and meet up for coffee , sending you a big hug .
Mary was a little brighter yesterday i am pleased to say , Andrew and Helen went to the Caravan to close it down for the winter they will be back later today .
Still trying to catch up with you all , sorry to say the laptop is not getting any better so will echo Pam again and wish you all a lovely weekend.

Sorry I forgot to congratulate Jan London enjoy your prize!
The more I see these globes, the more I think
I need them!! Will watch the video later.
Pam, I can understand how you will miss your friend;
do keep in touch, as it is so easy not to, in fact,
I'd recommend making a date for your next meet at
this one. I do this now, as at one point, my
friends and I went for nearly 3 months, and it was much
too long.
Well done to the winner!

Congratulations To Jan .L. From Sheffield For Winning Wednesday Gift Card I’m Sure You’ll Enjoy It..................
Ah, how pretty Sue.
I just love deers and snow globes so just my cup of tea.
Love Val in Spainxxx
Dear Sue and Friends,
I'm itching to order this deer. He could be freed from his snowflakes and flourishes and allowed to leap among the birches.
I already have lots of reindeer. But I love them.
Really enjoyed your video, and the magic you performed. We saw you carefully load a linear embossing folder, then the finished card has swirly embossing. Magic! Probably anyone else who noticed was too polite to mention it. But I see what you mean about how the gilding polish adds to the splendor, and I think the swirly looks better.
I keep posting later and later, then falling asleep while posting. I worked last Sunday, had an intense meeting on my beat Monday, made my sister's 60th birthday card that night, did someone else's duty for two days and put in four extra hours reworking a story I wanted to get right. So I really needed Thanksgiving as a rest, and to make turkey and trimmings leftovers for myself to last through Christmas, I hope.
If I sounded blue, Pam, it was because I tried so hard and went extra miles to do justice to that story, only to have the editor fuss at me for trying to make changes from home on Thanksgiving, when they were readying it for Friday's paper. I was discouraged. Then on Friday, two editors emailed me that it rocked and five readers (so far) contacted me about making donations to the family.
This weekend, with the dishes and essential laundry done, I can concentrate on Christmas cards!
Congratulations to Jan L!
Condolences, Pam, on losing a bright spot at work
Enjoy your Weekend!
Love, Donita in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the U.S.
We have a snowglobe collection. So prettY!
Pretty card.
Lovely card. I do like the pine cone die set.
Teresa
Beautiful shaker card. Love the look you achieved on the pinecones.
Such a wonderfully festive card Sue. Thanks for the inspiration!
I do love this card and today as soon as I post, I will be in a card making marathon , I am adding the snow globe with deer to my must finish list. I have about a dozen cards done but need three times that for Christmas and several special birthdays. Have a weaving background made with favorite team colors ready for one. Thanks, Pam. I just need a little elf helper.
Donita, I am a sucker for deer also. My sister lives on a barrier island with deer everywhere (protected). They are such beautiful animals.
Well, off to the races.
Love to all and congrats to that lucky duck, Jan!

Hi Sue, This is truly gorgeous !! I adore the card and I adore all the 'bling'.
Congratulations to Jan L.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue, this is a lovely shiny and sparkly shaker card that would please just about anyone. I do like the snow globe very much.
Donita – that story obviously touched you deeply and it just shows how conscientious you are that you were amending it on Thanksgiving. Well done to the two editors for giving praise where it was due.
Jan L – Congratulations on being this week’s Wednesday Winner. I am more than a little jealous as you have won a stunning card.
I was a little previous in my comment yesterday as within half an hour of me saying that it wouldn’t settle we had full blown snow that very quickly settled everywhere and I had to sweep almost 2 inches from the car whilst it was still coming down. Luckily today the main roads are clear but the side roads are still very slippery so to everyone else out there with snow – please take care.

Hello Sue

Hello Sue,
Beautiful snow globe card today. Brrr, lovely wintry feel on the card but not so good in real life!
Congratulations to Jan L on your win!
Pam, it's a shame your friend couldn't take any more, but at least you'll still see her from time to time x.
Elaine, pleased that Mary was a little better when you saw her
Donita, sorry you've had such a hard time of it at work, you stick to your guns as the response from your readers prove that the story is good, and 2 editors had the sense to see it.
Fluffycat, keep that snow with you, I know you are generous but I really don't want it here.
Love to all who are missing for any reason.

Hi Sue,
Love shaker cards. And this one is not an exception. I'll have to watch the video later.
Crewe Trish- Happy B-day for your daughter!
Pam – Sorry about your friend leaving. For sure wasn’t an easy decision for her. It is so sad when good people are leaving because of a bad management. Hugs for you.
Donita – Glad you are back. I missed your interesting and funny comments. You really love your job, don’t you?
Elaine – Pleased that Mary was a little better
Saba – Glad the CT scan result was good. How is your back now?
I struggled to make a b-day card for my mom on Thursday. My hubby made fun of me saying that there are plenty of beautiful cards on the market and he will buy on for his mother in law. As you know, there are days and days... yesterday evening, by the time my hubby got home, the b-day card was almost ready; different design, different colors a totally new card that my hubby love it. I was really pleased with my work. We posted it today. Hope the card won’t get “lost” again and my mom will receive it.
Hugs to you all,
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only across the pond Wilsonette
