We had a lovely few days with our friends Dale and Stewart, it was full of laughter and good food, and just a little too much wine. It was great to catch up with all their news and to see their daughter Amanda and grandson Kerr. Stewart took Alistair off to a jazz night on Friday and Dale and I sat and blethered and put the world to rights, this is where the wine came in.
So I've returned home with my spirits lifted and batteries recharged.
Thank you all so much for the very kind comments on my last creation, and sorry not to have got round all your blogs whilst I was away, I'm sure I've missed heaps but it was just not possible to spend as much time as I would at home touring around them.
I'm showing you the two little gift bags I made to put some goodies into to give to Dale and Amanda;
SB, Floral Ovals
Sewing Machine charm and purple Seam Binding, The Ribbon Girl
Country Companion Paper, and Papermania, Green Gems
Bag from Hobby craft.
Dale's bag has paper from Kanban Vintage Tapestry
Core'dination card
Gothic Border die
SB Medallion seven die
White Seam Binding, and Dazzler, The Ribbon Girl
Sentiment, Papermania
Pearls and Dove from my box
Hobby craft Bag
As they both love candles and fancy soaps that's what I put into the bags and were very well received.
Well that's me for another day, off now to bring in the washing, hopefully it will be dry.
Have a good evening and see you soon

Hi Kate
So glad that you and Alastair had a good break. Good friends, good food and good wine is a good combination.
Beautiful bags. The blue floral paper is fab. Did have to do a double take when I read "sewer" until I cottoned on (no pun intended) to the sewing theme. I was thinking waterworks at first hahaha!!! Its been a long day LOL.
