Carnations and Lanterns!

Good Afternoon Blogging Friends.  Is your Saturday going well?  I hope it is.
Thank you to all who left lovely comments on my last post, I love reading them so keep them coming,  it also means that if your someone new I can pop into your blog and see what your up to.  When I do this I find I go on all sorts of adventures and sit at the computer for ages, but what a lot I see and learn.  So let me know if you drop in to see me.

Well guess what?  Yep that's right no car.   mechanic phoned last night to say that after they had taken the car to be washed ready to return to us they found that the wipers were not working, seems that the motor has burned out.  Now, the mechanic working on the car didn't think to mention this to his boss when he discovered it at an earlier stage, so there we are last thing on a Friday night no way to get it fixed.  Alistair almost had an apoplectic fit at him, I had to take the phone off him to continue the conversation with the boss mechanic, who further told us that the insurance might not cover it as he didn't think that it was the accident that caused the problem.  Well, this time I didn't miss him and hit the wall, but I kept icy cool and informed him that  was rubbish as they had been working on that day as it was raining sleet and had to use them.  So he said he would have to talk to his boss. Anyway, the upshot is that a new motor will be ordered and we should have the car next week sometime, and they will fit the new part free of charge as a goodwill gesture.
I'll not go on about what I replied to this, but once I came off the phone I felt absolutely sick and had a pounding headache.  I really dispair of ever having the car back.  The story goes on like some Viking saga, in fact some of them are shorter than this story.

So enough of that here is my card for today;

I've use a LOTV stamp and coloured with Promarkers, sentiment is LOTV also.  Lemon paper is from a freebie pad from a magazine and also Papermania Oriental Treasures paper, Pink co-ordinations card, Menory Box Victoria corner die, WO carnations charm from the Ribbon Girl and gems from by box. lots of Star Dust.

I really like this stamp, but haven't used it much.  In fact, while I've been crearing away Christmas crafting bits I'm coming across lots of stamps and bits and pieces i've not used yet.  I really must stop buying and learn to use up what I have.   Anyone else finding this state of things?

Well that's me for today,  enjoy the remainder of the weekend,
