Rainy Days!

Hello Everyone and managing to get here a bit earlier this evening.  I hope all you folk who have loads of snow are managing to keep warm and safe, some areas look dreadful.  It stared to sleet here this afternoon but hasn't come to anything, although there is a good amount of snow on the mountains, but not going there.

Thank you to every one who left messages on my previous post, and a warm welcome to my new visitor Sue, lovely to have you on board.

Well yesterday I felt really old, it was my son's birthday and he was 42, where have all the years gone!.. I don't feel old in my head, although the old body is feeling it's age, but nevertheless I can hardly believe Damian is this age.  He loved his tortoise card and the fact that it got a mention at LC Challenge blog.
So in a couple of weeks it's my daughter-in-law Moreen's birthday and I will have to get my thinking cap on for her gift, got the card sorted, but I always struggle with the prezzie.

Alistair managed to book my birthday gift last week even although my birthday is not until June, and as this is one of those landmark birthdays, it's the big 60, he is taking me to Iceland.  I have always wanted to go there, so I am so excited about it, mind you at the moment cash is scarce, I've not enough for Iceland the shop never mind the country, so I will have to get saving, that means less buying of all the craft goodies.   Seriously though I am so looking forward to it and top of my list to do and see there are Whales and Icelandic knitting.  Alistair wants to go and look at the volcanoes.  I've an interest in the Viking Sagas too,so I want to read as many as possible before we go. Another bonus is that I don't have to buy a new summer wardrobe as my lovely, comfortable winter clothes will do and I wont feel out of place because I don't tan.

On to my card for today, it's not a new one, but new on here;

The image is from Paintshop Poppets CD, which I've cut out and decoupaged, the background papers and sentiment are also from the CD, the rest from my box of bits and pieces.  Just a simple little card really.

I'm off to pour myself a G&T and settledown to watch Corrie, I'm hooked by the Tyrone and Kirstie storyline just now, and I've missed the last couple of episodes and not managed to catch up on the Iplayer.

Have a good evening everyone and a great weekend whatever your doing,
