A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hi bloggers! The Ornamental Accents die set is a very versatile and useful set of dies. Today's video shows you how to use the as a pretty border for your card projects.
The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Beautiful card, just gorgeous. This is my treat to start my day. Tina T, hope Peters scan went okay last night and you will soon know what treatment they will start. Elaine, hope the leg is improving, and that Andrews appointment goes well. Tina, hope you are soon sorted with the Care company, good that Micks appetite is still good. Well done to your daughter. Cheryl, congratulations to your daughter and prospective son in law, you deserve some happiness lovely lady. Laine and Lynda, take care ladies, hope you are feeling better soon. Steph, you are never boring, bet you had a lovely time with Lottie. Yvonne, glad that the boys are doing well, and that George is being very helpful, what's he after lol. Tracey, got that red hair yet from the pixie powders. Hugs to all.
Morning Sue. WOW This is a beautiful card. The colours are lovely, i prefer blue and cream it makes the card so much warmer than the stark white and blue, just in my humble opinion lol. The ornimental accents and heart spray dies are gorgeous but once again finding it hard to buy them as every where is sold out, i think everyone much be waiting for a new shipment to come in. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Morning Sue. Thank you Pam,I had a wonderful day thank you but extremely tiring as she has found that if you move your little legs forward in turn along with your hands you are mobile lol yep, we are now crawling !!! Say no more. Now to the pretty sample that is making me wonder if paper piecing is involved, is it all deeply embossed, the photography close ups are brilliant Sue and show every single beautiful detail, but to quench my curiosity I really need to watch your tutorial and I'm looking forward to catching up with the snow globe that I've not got round to yet, still, today belongs to me so I feel a video day plus project day as I have that anniversary card to plan and 9 sets of plain card hunting to cut ready for my hairdressers child's birthday party, they are decorating their own bunting as a take home memory of the party. I will leave you with hugs as usual and hope you have a good day xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a stunning card today, got to try this one out, I think I might have most of the dies and ef.
Laine - I hope you are feeling better today and are not getting too stressed out, I will have to check out the industrial strength tenna's.
Tint t - hope the scan went well yesterday and that you get some answers and a plan going forward today.
Cheryl - congrats to your daughter and future son-in-law Jacob on their engagement
Elaine - Hope Andrew got on OK last night and that he is feeling better this morning
Yvonne - I agree with Pam you are never boring at all, you are a lovely lady
Tina - hope Mick's chest infection has now abated a bit with the medication, how long do you have to wait for the recliner chair? and congrats to your daughter on the beauty course, does she practice on you.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue, a beautiful card today, very Wedgewood in the pattern and colours, love the embossing folder used, will catch the full video a bit later. Take care all. Bx
Lovely card, Sue, the accents very pretty used this way. Thanks as ever for the video. Missing Lorraine F and Wheely - hope you're both coping with all your problems. No Tracy yesterday - been pixied, Princess??! Hugs to all, esp Laine (keep calm!) and Yvonne.
Good morning Sue and crafters all, Yes another beautiful card today, colours do soft, and what you do with the accents dies never fails to amaze me!! Sensational 💐 Well Pam and Sue - would you believe Peter's CT. scan was cancelled last night. Our son went to see him and was told he would have the scan this morning as he is an "inpatient", I argued this point when they rang to tell us when the scan was. So I will see later if it has happened!!!!!! Thank you all for the support messages. Love and crafty hugs Tina T xxxxx
Good morning Sue this is a stunning card I love it. I will be making some time to watch the video later. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Good Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes Another Gorgeous card and lovely colours, Have to take time out to watch this video as I think I have these dies Have a good day all Sharon xxx
Hi Sue, Such a lovely card. And clever use of the accents. You always come up with something new, does your mojo NEVER run out? Fab video, too. Still love those poppies (there again, I love ALL your flowers). Hugs, Rose
Stunning colour combination Sue. Those dies are beautiful as a border. Will watch the video when I have a few spare moments later on today.
Tina T, sorry they didn't do Peter's scan. It sounds like the hospital need more funding to buy more scanners. Really hope they get their act together so they can get started on his treatment. x
Hello Sue, What a beautiful card today. Cheryl, meant to say Congratulations to the Happy Couple. I am away to town to get my specs repaired. Sitting on them is not recommended!!! love and prayers to all who are sick, having treatment and their carers. Maureen xx
Morning Sue, Beautiful card, love the use of the accent dies, not one I thought I would need but I think it's now the time to buy. I would like to add that it's lovely to see the gorgeous flowers that are always in the video room. Lydia X

Hi Sue, so difficult to say something that has not already been said about your cards. Today you have showed us another beautiful card, and another great viedo - thank y ou. Wendyx
Hello my fellow Wilsonettes, I hope you are all well. I have been missing for a while as I had a very busy few days before we went away overnight on Sunday and then I have been recovering from all that. We had a fantastic time, over far too soon so next year we are planning to do Friday evening to Monday evening. I will have a look through what I have missed but know I won't be able to retain much so will say Sue as always your cards are wonderful, congratulations and commiserations where appropriate. Looking forward to reading all the news. Sending love n hugs to you all xxx
Beautiful card Sue! Love the colours so pretty. I have just had an email from Craftasmic showing your new collection of dies. Are you trying to bankrupt me????? There are lots I really want and the baby ones are so cute, need the alphabet and love the rose wreath. I cant wait to see what you do with them so better get saving now!!!!!!!
Such a pretty card Sue, and in my favourite colours too! :) I'm going to get a cup of tea so I can watch the video in comfort. Hugs to all who need them today, Paula x (WelshPaula)
Hello Sue Lovely card as usual still need the Poppy die. Tina so sorry Peters scan was delayed you would have thought the ward would have sorted it out before hand. Thank you Barbara for telling me where to view Sues new dies you are right they are truly amazing we will never be rich my list just gets longer and longer but who cares.
Hello Sue, I love today's card - it's simply beautiful ! How you keep coming up with new ideas day after day I don't know! Maureen - make sure you don't end up in the wrong place today - don't want you to be starring in the next " should have gone to Specsavers " Advert. !! X Love to all, including Maureen, Myra xxx
Afternoon Sue This is such a gorgeous card. The ornamental accents are beautiful and the way you have used them as a border is amazing x Blue and white - just can't fail and the exquisite poppy is the perfect finishing touch on this truly special card x Trying to stop myself from shrieking to loud due to over excitement at the new dies - not to mention trying to stop my bladder going into leak mode!! They are completely out of this world x I am delighted to see that you followed my valuable advice as to what I thought should be included in this launch and you have almost given me everything I wanted. Lol x I have my second set of circles and ovals. I have my second set of shadow box frames with a different lattice panel. I have the most exquisite baby shadow box with the most adorable additional die sets I could cry. You have even predicted the future and predicted that my next instruction was going to be that I am desperate for an alphabet x Obviously there are so many other dies which are the most exquisite additions to your amazing collection and I am anticipating some of the most mind blowing master pieces when we are treated to the launch on the blog x However - and I hate to spoil the party - there is one tiny little flaw in this state of the art collection . . . . WHERE IS THE DIE CALLED YVONNE????!!!! You have even named one of the new stamps Princess Charlotte just to rub it in. Princess Pixie would have been so much more appropriate! You and me will have to have serious words young lady!! Lol x I am completely and utterly bowled over by everything you have given to us and as always left wondering how on earth you do it. Thank you so much Sue x The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed I have edited my profile and am now officially known as Princess Pixie. I was watching some old episodes of friends and if anyone is a big fan they will remember the one where Phoebe changed her name. Well if Phoebe can change her name then why not!! June - might be worth while looking into buying tena lady in bulk. We could save a small fortune. Hugs x Tina T - I cannot believe that Peters scan was cancelled. I am really hoping that it went ahead this morning. Sending you both big hugs x Nana Tina - brilliant news that your daughter passed her course. Well done her. Hugs all round to you and yours x Elaine - thinking of you and Andrew. Hope appointment goes well. Hugs x Cheryl - congratulations to the newly engaged couple. Lovely news. Hugs x Deb C - forget you? Never. Noone has filled the position of Head of Security for AAS. Hugs x Pat L - hope you have managed to catch up on all your washing. Lovely feeling when it's all done. Hugs x Lynda - hope you are feeling better. Upset tummy is one of those take a while to get over things. Big but gentle hugs x Pam - you are spot on. What is he after? I think the real George has been abducted by aliens! Can't help wondering how long it will last. Lol. I will just enjoy the moment. Hugs x Maureen - sorry but I laughed at your glasses predicament. Always mislaying mine. Often look for them when they are actually on my head. Hugs x Myra - that would be a brilliant advert x Lorraine - lovely to 'see' you. Glad you had a lovely time. Huggles x Off to have a bit of quiet time as have scheduled a call with Lippy Loopy Laine later. Lots of oohing and aahing will take place as the main topic of conversation will certainly be Sue's new dies. Enjoy the rest of today folks. Tracy and Maria I hope you are both OK x Sending lots of love to everyone specially P, Fluffy, Tres and Wheely x Take care Happy thoughts Crafty hugs Princess P Yvonne x
Lovely card with step-down and step-up dimension. Your card today has inspired me to make a similar one, a 5 x 7 USA size, for a thank you card for a friend. On my smaller card than your UK sized one, I will not be able to get so much dimension to it, but will try to get as much as I can. Thanks for the well produced video with such clarity on the "how to".
Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x Will have to watch the video as I'm really intrigued as to how you have created this beautiful card x its absolutely gorgeous sue x thank you x Take care everyone x Theresa w xxx
Hi Sue, a lovely card and the milk and blue go together so well, they are very soft whereas white can seem quite stark sometimes. You have really been making the ornamental accents earn their keep with the variety of ways you have come up with.
Laine - I hope your migraine has gone. Yvonne - did you change your name by deed poll? You know you need a lawyer for that, don't you lol I wasn't going to look at Sue's new launch yet but as you have now spilt the beans I suppose I will have to but I don't think my bank balance can stand much more. Wheely - hope you are ok, missing you and Billy.
Hi Sue Stunningly beautiful card, love the colours if Mick stays asleep I might get to watch video Mick has had a good day enjoyed a mac donalds at lunch and egg, chips and mushroom tonight, pain started to kick in while eating so had some tablets and medicine and has fallen asleep, we are getting call times changed so that should help he seems to be over the chest infection just awaiting results of urine test and if no infection they can start tablet for bladder spasms, the chair could be end of September into October due to the specialist needs he has. I have had my nails done and hand massage but not too keen on waxing he he Tina what a messing about I have had alot of issues with appointments while mick was in hospital they would send me appointments I would give them to ward and next thing they would be cancelled he is still waiting to see ENT since February I have had a peek at your new dies I have a feeling I need another treat Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts Happy crafting Love and hugs to all Love Tina xxxx
Fabulous card Sue utilising some of my most valued dies, looking forward to watching the tutorial later when I have a moment to myself. I've had a very busy day today, woke up having had another seizure but migraine had gone, every cloud and all that:-), didn't have the luxury of a lie in though, had to quickly get ready for a shopping trip before my hospital appointment....spent an unforgivable amount on Yankee Candle products before breaking the bank in M&S, so much for saving for Ally Pally:-(....was in a bit of a flap when my taxi to the hospital was late and arrived at the hospital 5 mins after my appointment time, such was my panic that I literally fell out of the taxi face first onto the Tarmac bloodying and grazing my face, knees, arms and hand in the process. Nothing broken I think which is a shocker in itself, just a lot of swelling and tenderness....can't put any weight on my left dodgy knee but I think that I would be in more pain if I'd done anything serious. Felt slightly in shock during my appointment and was glad to get home....don't get me wrong, it has had it's advantages, my Mum kindly washed and dried the dinner dishes without being begged to:-)... Maybe it's because I threatened to blame my injuries on her and call Social Services:-) Got a text from Yvonne, she was wetting herself with delight at the new release preview of Sues dies....yes, she got most of what she requested apart from the Croydon and Yvonne dies:-( you do realise Sue that you have created a monster and I am going to have to live with it possibly during the Blogathon! Oh P, what have you done? 'Princess' Pixie has latched on to your title and decided that she is worthy of the royal moniker even though the sensible amongst us know different. She will be insufferable, expecting curtsying, hand kisses and money from the Civil List no doubt to fund her die fetish. Changing her name on the blog is a slippery slope believe me....... Frances, I'm migraine less today but feeling abit sorry for myself nonetheless:-) only joking, I'm much better Thankyou for caringxxxx Tina, hope Peter got his scan as promisedxxx Tina, Mick seems to be thriving despite his infection:-) Congrats to your granddaughter on her successxxxx Cheryl, congrats to you and your daughter, what wonderful newsxxx June, I really wish that I lived closer to you, I would love to learn parchment craft but there is nowhere close by that specialises in classes. You are a very talented ladyxx Elaine, hope Andrews appointment goes well and that you are feeling betterxxx Yvonne, sorry we couldn't dribble over Sues fabulous new release together tonight, I promise to touch base with you tomorrow when I will be suitably prepared with my double layered Tena Lady just in case of bladder leakage:-) As for Lippy and Loopy, yes, I have rather luscious, kissable lips and yes, I am seeing a counsellor at the minute....by enlarge to help me cope with our regular conversations and help me develop a strategy for managing when I eventually visit you.....but I feel that your description isn't coming from a loving place:-) Cuddles to all my blog buddiesxxx
Beautiful card. Like the recessed style, must pluck up courage to try it. I keep forgetting to emboss my frontispiece in the way you have done, I don't understand why because, as you have shown, it is very effective.
This is such a pretty card. Glad my first visit in a little while was a day one of my favourite colour combos was on show. Hope things are good with you, have seen the E mails from various stores heralding a new die release but yet too have a peep, saving that for when I can take the time for a good look without dark glasses on! Just in time for Ally Pally, I'm sure they'll be popular (especially after reading one or two of today's blog posts lol) big hugs, T x
Tina T, hope Peter gets his scan asap, big hugs to you both x
Nanna Tina and Mick, hope Mick is ok and hope his appetite is good and that you're both getting the help you need, big hugs to you both, T x
Elaine, hope Andrew is ok and your noisy neighbour issue is being resolved, big hugs x
Lynda, sending get well cuddles from Billy and big hugs from me x
Cheryl, lovely happy news for your family, congratulations to you & your daughter, big hugs to you both
Lorraine F, big hugs, hope you're OK xa
Princess Pixie... Oh my, I nearly dropped my E cigarette I laughed so much, brilliant! I finally got some pixie powders and looking forward to a play soon. Will think of you when I use them! Big hugs x
Laine, you been in the wars again girl? Be careful, you got a date at the Pixie Palace with the Princess to make ;-) I've missed yours and Yvon... Sorry, Princess Pixie's banter, big hugs x
Tracy, hope all is well hun, big hugs x
P, thank you for thinking of me, big hugs x
Pat, thank you for thinking of me. I hope Sarah is ok, I hope she's had a lovely summer and is looking forward to going back to school. Big hugs to both of you x
Frances, thank you for thinking of me and Billy, big hugs x
Sorry I've not been able to read back through, I will do if I can at a later date. I know many of you do take time to think of me when you can so I thank you for that and send good wishes and hugs in return x
I can't believe how the days have flown past. Don't know if it's new routine making my head go more regularly or if it's just done it by itself 4 to 5 days out of 7 with fatigue the rest. It's become slowly more regular over the last 8 years so it's possible but trying to be positive and hope it'll recede back. I'm in between them today... Feel another starting so I'll be quick. On the plus having help Mon-Fri and being clean, not having to wait till I'm well enough to wash and have clean clothes is fantastic. Mr being without a job takes up my time as having to concentrate on the fact there is another human in the house more often, plus when I can I help fill in online job applications. Still feeling down about the CCG ruling but will book to see the same doctor to see what's what. May well be another months' wait but there you go... At least I have pixie powder to look forward too... Yay!
Must go now. Wishing you all happy times and big hugs. See you soon,
Lovely card Sue, love the way you use these dies! It always makes me stop and think when I am die cutting to see if there is a new way that I can use any die. Thanks for making me more aware of the possibilities not just what is at hand!

Trying to stop myself from shrieking to loud due to over excitement at the new dies - not to mention trying to stop my bladder going into leak mode!! They are completely out of this world x
I am delighted to see that you followed my valuable advice as to what I thought should be included in this launch and you have almost given me everything I wanted. Lol x
I have my second set of circles and ovals. I have my second set of shadow box frames with a different lattice panel. I have the most exquisite baby shadow box with the most adorable additional die sets I could cry. You have even predicted the future and predicted that my next instruction was going to be that I am desperate for an alphabet x
Obviously there are so many other dies which are the most exquisite additions to your amazing collection and I am anticipating some of the most mind blowing master pieces when we are treated to the launch on the blog x
However - and I hate to spoil the party - there is one tiny little flaw in this state of the art collection . . . .
WHERE IS THE DIE CALLED YVONNE????!!!!
You have even named one of the new stamps Princess Charlotte just to rub it in. Princess Pixie would have been so much more appropriate!
You and me will have to have serious words young lady!! Lol x
I am completely and utterly bowled over by everything you have given to us and as always left wondering how on earth you do it. Thank you so much Sue x
The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed I have edited my profile and am now officially known as Princess Pixie. I was watching some old episodes of friends and if anyone is a big fan they will remember the one where Phoebe changed her name. Well if Phoebe can change her name then why not!!
June - might be worth while looking into buying tena lady in bulk. We could save a small fortune. Hugs x
Tina T - I cannot believe that Peters scan was cancelled. I am really hoping that it went ahead this morning. Sending you both big hugs x
Nana Tina - brilliant news that your daughter passed her course. Well done her. Hugs all round to you and yours x
Elaine - thinking of you and Andrew. Hope appointment goes well. Hugs x
Cheryl - congratulations to the newly engaged couple. Lovely news. Hugs x
Deb C - forget you? Never. Noone has filled the position of Head of Security for AAS. Hugs x
Pat L - hope you have managed to catch up on all your washing. Lovely feeling when it's all done. Hugs x
Lynda - hope you are feeling better. Upset tummy is one of those take a while to get over things. Big but gentle hugs x
Pam - you are spot on. What is he after? I think the real George has been abducted by aliens! Can't help wondering how long it will last. Lol. I will just enjoy the moment. Hugs x
Maureen - sorry but I laughed at your glasses predicament. Always mislaying mine. Often look for them when they are actually on my head. Hugs x
Myra - that would be a brilliant advert x
Lorraine - lovely to 'see' you. Glad you had a lovely time. Huggles x
Off to have a bit of quiet time as have scheduled a call with Lippy Loopy Laine later. Lots of oohing and aahing will take place as the main topic of conversation will certainly be Sue's new dies.
Enjoy the rest of today folks.
Tracy and Maria I hope you are both OK x
Sending lots of love to everyone specially P, Fluffy, Tres and Wheely x
Take care
Happy thoughts

Lovely card with step-down and step-up dimension. Your card today has inspired me to make a similar one, a 5 x 7 USA size, for a thank you card for a friend. On my smaller card than your UK sized one, I will not be able to get so much dimension to it, but will try to get as much as I can. Thanks for the well produced video with such clarity on the "how to".
Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x
Will have to watch the video as I'm really intrigued as to how you have created this beautiful card x its absolutely gorgeous sue x thank you x
Take care everyone x

Hi Sue
Another great tutorial and a beautiful card. Love how you've used the accents for a border and the step down/step up dimensions
June x
Hi Sue, a lovely card and the milk and blue go together so well, they are very soft whereas white can seem quite stark sometimes. You have really been making the ornamental accents earn their keep with the variety of ways you have come up with.
Laine - I hope your migraine has gone.
Yvonne - did you change your name by deed poll? You know you need a lawyer for that, don't you lol I wasn't going to look at Sue's new launch yet but as you have now spilt the beans I suppose I will have to but I don't think my bank balance can stand much more.
Wheely - hope you are ok, missing you and Billy.

Hi Sue
Stunningly beautiful card, love the colours if Mick stays asleep I might get to watch video
Mick has had a good day enjoyed a mac donalds at lunch and egg, chips and mushroom tonight, pain started to kick in while eating so had some tablets and medicine and has fallen asleep, we are getting call times changed so that should help he seems to be over the chest infection just awaiting results of urine test and if no infection they can start tablet for bladder spasms, the chair could be end of September into October due to the specialist needs he has.
I have had my nails done and hand massage but not too keen on waxing he he
Tina what a messing about I have had alot of issues with appointments while mick was in hospital they would send me appointments I would give them to ward and next thing they would be cancelled he is still waiting to see ENT since February
I have had a peek at your new dies I have a feeling I need another treat
Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts
Happy crafting
Love and hugs to all
Love Tina xxxx

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
Fabulous card Sue utilising some of my most valued dies, looking forward to watching the tutorial later when I have a moment to myself.
I've had a very busy day today, woke up having had another seizure but migraine had gone, every cloud and all that:-), didn't have the luxury of a lie in though, had to quickly get ready for a shopping trip before my hospital appointment....spent an unforgivable amount on Yankee Candle products before breaking the bank in M&S, so much for saving for Ally Pally:-(....was in a bit of a flap when my taxi to the hospital was late and arrived at the hospital 5 mins after my appointment time, such was my panic that I literally fell out of the taxi face first onto the Tarmac bloodying and grazing my face, knees, arms and hand in the process. Nothing broken I think which is a shocker in itself, just a lot of swelling and tenderness....can't put any weight on my left dodgy knee but I think that I would be in more pain if I'd done anything serious.
Felt slightly in shock during my appointment and was glad to get home....don't get me wrong, it has had it's advantages, my Mum kindly washed and dried the dinner dishes without being begged to:-)... Maybe it's because I threatened to blame my injuries on her and call Social Services:-)
Got a text from Yvonne, she was wetting herself with delight at the new release preview of Sues dies....yes, she got most of what she requested apart from the Croydon and Yvonne dies:-( you do realise Sue that you have created a monster and I am going to have to live with it possibly during the Blogathon!
Oh P, what have you done? 'Princess' Pixie has latched on to your title and decided that she is worthy of the royal moniker even though the sensible amongst us know different. She will be insufferable, expecting curtsying, hand kisses and money from the Civil List no doubt to fund her die fetish. Changing her name on the blog is a slippery slope believe me.......
Frances, I'm migraine less today but feeling abit sorry for myself nonetheless:-) only joking, I'm much better Thankyou for caringxxxx
Tina, hope Peter got his scan as promisedxxx
Tina, Mick seems to be thriving despite his infection:-) Congrats to your granddaughter on her successxxxx
Cheryl, congrats to you and your daughter, what wonderful newsxxx
June, I really wish that I lived closer to you, I would love to learn parchment craft but there is nowhere close by that specialises in classes. You are a very talented ladyxx
Elaine, hope Andrews appointment goes well and that you are feeling betterxxx
Yvonne, sorry we couldn't dribble over Sues fabulous new release together tonight, I promise to touch base with you tomorrow when I will be suitably prepared with my double layered Tena Lady just in case of bladder leakage:-) As for Lippy and Loopy, yes, I have rather luscious, kissable lips and yes, I am seeing a counsellor at the minute....by enlarge to help me cope with our regular conversations and help me develop a strategy for managing when I eventually visit you.....but I feel that your description isn't coming from a loving place:-)
Cuddles to all my blog buddiesxxx

Beautiful card. Like the recessed style, must pluck up courage to try it. I keep forgetting to emboss my frontispiece in the way you have done, I don't understand why because, as you have shown, it is very effective.

Hi Sue

Sorry i am late i am having to play catch up as i have been quite ill but
i am back now hopefully lol
Sue this is gorgeous, i love the layout and the way you get so
much beautiful detail on each card and the colour is so pretty.
Hi Sue
This is such a pretty card. Glad my first visit in a little while was a day one of my favourite colour combos was on show. Hope things are good with you, have seen the E mails from various stores heralding a new die release but yet too have a peep, saving that for when I can take the time for a good look without dark glasses on! Just in time for Ally Pally, I'm sure they'll be popular (especially after reading one or two of today's blog posts lol) big hugs, T x
Tina T, hope Peter gets his scan asap, big hugs to you both x
Nanna Tina and Mick, hope Mick is ok and hope his appetite is good and that you're both getting the help you need, big hugs to you both, T x
Elaine, hope Andrew is ok and your noisy neighbour issue is being resolved, big hugs x
Lynda, sending get well cuddles from Billy and big hugs from me x
Cheryl, lovely happy news for your family, congratulations to you & your daughter, big hugs to you both
Lorraine F, big hugs, hope you're OK xa
Princess Pixie... Oh my, I nearly dropped my E cigarette I laughed so much, brilliant! I finally got some pixie powders and looking forward to a play soon. Will think of you when I use them! Big hugs x
Laine, you been in the wars again girl? Be careful, you got a date at the Pixie Palace with the Princess to make ;-) I've missed yours and Yvon... Sorry, Princess Pixie's banter, big hugs x
Tracy, hope all is well hun, big hugs x
P, thank you for thinking of me, big hugs x
Pat, thank you for thinking of me. I hope Sarah is ok, I hope she's had a lovely summer and is looking forward to going back to school. Big hugs to both of you x
Frances, thank you for thinking of me and Billy, big hugs x
Sorry I've not been able to read back through, I will do if I can at a later date. I know many of you do take time to think of me when you can so I thank you for that and send good wishes and hugs in return x
I can't believe how the days have flown past. Don't know if it's new routine making my head go more regularly or if it's just done it by itself 4 to 5 days out of 7 with fatigue the rest. It's become slowly more regular over the last 8 years so it's possible but trying to be positive and hope it'll recede back. I'm in between them today... Feel another starting so I'll be quick. On the plus having help Mon-Fri and being clean, not having to wait till I'm well enough to wash and have clean clothes is fantastic. Mr being without a job takes up my time as having to concentrate on the fact there is another human in the house more often, plus when I can I help fill in online job applications. Still feeling down about the CCG ruling but will book to see the same doctor to see what's what. May well be another months' wait but there you go... At least I have pixie powder to look forward too... Yay!
Must go now. Wishing you all happy times and big hugs. See you soon,
T x
Lovely card Sue, love the way you use these dies! It always makes me stop and think when I am die cutting to see if there is a new way that I can use any die. Thanks for making me more aware of the possibilities not just what is at hand!
Oh such a beautiful card, just love the way you use your dies, mix and match .....thanks Sue...luv .ursula xx
