Hello Everyone, I hope your weekend is going well for you, whatever you are doing.
The weather here hasn't been good, raining off and on and today I was back to feeling a bit cold.
Thank you all for leaving the lovely comments on my last card, very much appreciated.
We had a lovely meat at our friend's on Friday night, but you may remember I said it would play havoc with my blood sugars, well it did and I was quite unwell yesterday and so incredibly tired, and no wonder as my blood sugar count was in double figures, first thing in the morning it is usually between 5 and 6, it was 10.7. I was horrified especially as I small portions and didn't have any pudding and only one glass of wine. The amount of hidden carbs in any one meal is quite astounding, anyway it's back to the old regime of being really careful. I think I should managed my diet quite well in Iceland though, everything is too expensive!! so maybe not eating that much and then only fish. Bet they don't do fish suppers though, Oh well can't have everything.
Enjoyed the craft demo today, Erika had lots of lovely samples to show us and wonderful cards using SB dies. Learnt lots and and hoping I can use some of her techniques. I am always amazed by the beautiful cards made with these dies that some of my Blogging Friends create, I find it difficult as I am really a stamper and colourer, but must try and give it a go.
Here is today's card;
LOTV stamp and Sentiment, coloured with Promarkers, matted on to green Core'dinations, papers are from Papermaina I think they are from Forever Friends last Christmas. Papermania Snowflakes Embossing Folder, MB corner die and SB little corner die from Frosty Forms, red gems and Star Dust.
That's me for today, hope you enjoy the remainder of your weekend, don't they just go so quickly!!

Hello Kate. Sorry to hear you were unwell yesterday, there's nothing worse. Beautiful card, and your cards are really stunning. I can only admire people that are good at colouring , as I am still learning about these things. So we all add something different to help each other along with our crafting creations. Hugs Rita xxxxx
Great card, I love the image and gorgeous design. xx Flora

Kate, a great card even if you are trying to match the weather we are having. Heating back on again but I would rather be warm than cold.
We will have to make sure you don't eat to many carbs when we are all away, can't have you feeling ill. As you say you will have to be good for the rest of the week.
Glad you enjoyed your demos, your card today is lovely and as usual beautifully coloured. Take care. Hazel
Hi Kate. Boy you really have to careful with those carbs must be like a strict diet for weight loss, hard work. Your christmas cards are great, wish I could colour in as well as you. Like Hazel my heating has been turned on yet again, wish summer would hurry up.
Take care.
