We have a mixture of sunshine and dull, but really quite cold, just when you think Spring has sprung it gets cold again.
Our washing machine packed in on Monday and I felt like having a wake for it as it was an old friend of 18years, with never a days worry. So as I could never be without a washing machine off we went to see what we could buy and I decided that I wanted another Bosch as mine had been so faithful, but what kind of price would they be now I wondered. However, one chosen and it was so sad seeing the old one being taken away this morning, yes I do get too attached to "things", Alistair is just sad at having to pay for it. Anyway, the new one is up and running, well washing really, after having had a warm welcome in the hope that it will be with us for just as long. I bet your all thinking "gosh doesn't she lead an exciting life", maybe not, " my goodness she's sad, get a life" LOL
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my last project, and for taking the time to visit.
I have a card to share today;
Background made with DI and Card-io images, I just love the tortoises and the snail, there is even a wee worm on the wheel of the barrow, oh and catch the spiders dangling from their webs The sentiment is also Card-io. Lots of sparkle to finish off. Just one of those cards you send Just Because.
That's me for today, taking things easy as yesterday was one of those days you wish you'd never started, you know the kind, I'm sure you've all had them, so I'll say cheerio for now and see you soon,

sorry to hear about your washing machine, hope you get a new faithful one ;O)
Very lovely card you made, i dont know Card IO stamps but they look awsome ;O)
Beautiful card Kate, simply lovely..
Your washing machine has done well to last so long. We had one for a year and it packed in but we were lucky we took out extra warranty so it was replaced with a new one...
Take care and have a lovely day.xx ♥[aNNie]
What a wonderful card, I too love Cardio stamps. You have a good few years with your washing machine, hope your new one will be just as good.
Beautiful day here today so hope to get out in the garden later.
Thanks for your visits

Pretty card Kate.
We had to replace our washer last year, then the fridge, then the freezer and finally Johns laptop, phew, fingers crossed no more!!!!
This is beautiful Kate, love the scene you have created and wonderful sentiment.

That was excellent service from your old washing machine. Nowadays, they certainly don't last that long (at least in the USA, for the most part!) Love your garden silhouette, and that is a fantastic looking background. Just the thing to cheer up a windy, and chilly day. Hugs (and I expect most of us lead just the same kind of exciting life as you described!)
Hi Kate,
what a very wonderful card and such a great scene you have created.
Super designing as usual.
I did have a laugh at you saying about Alitair not being happy to have to fork out for a new washing machine.
I keep hoping mine is going to break down as I have had it for nearly 10 years, and I hate it as it has a door on the front and I have to put a tea towel over the top to stop crumbs that go into the rubber inside, and you can't get them out once they are in there.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
This is fabulous, love all the little details tucked away on it. Cara x
Great pretty make kate. Not seen these stamps from card io. Hoping they'll be at port sunlight this year. Funny about your washing machine. Hope your new one is good for you. I had a new one about a year ago. Its a miele and touchwood has been good up to now!!! Bug hugs rachel xx
Such a pretty card Kate, you have created a lovely scene.
Wow! Your washing machine did well, mine usually only last a couple of years - my latest is a Bosch so hopefully it will last a it longer!

Beautiful card Kate, the stamping looks really effective against the soft background colours,fingers crossed the new washing machine is as good as the last one.
Hi Kate
You have worked wonders with the Card-io stamps. I love these little stamps and you've created a lovely scene.
Our dishwasher is about 14 years old and I've treated it to new basket wheels but it needs a new door seal too. Just hoping that keeps it chugging along for a few more years.

Hope your new machine serves you as well and as long as your old one did. It is always sad to see an old friend go but also nice to see a nice new machine too! Love this pretty card Kate, a lovely little scene you have created, reminds me of our gardening days and yes we have lots of snails too lol!!! no tortoises but a few hedgehogs lol! Have a happy, peaceful Sunday.
Hugs Jennifer xx.

Hugs

A lovely card Kate. I've not seen these stamps before. I love the tortoise. Your washing machine certainly gave you good service. My hubby feels the same when he gets rid of a car. Barbxx
