Thinking of You!

Hello Everyone,  I hope you are well and ready for another week, they come around so fast. We have another sunny day, but windy and a bit chilly, but at least it's dry.

Thank you so much for your visits and the lovely comments that you leave, I do appreciate them and your time.

Just a quick post today with a card that I'm entering into the Allsorts Challenge;
http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/2019/04/week-515516-blossoms-butterflies-bugs.html

I've used a Paperartsy stamp which has been embossed in Wow white embossing powder. Pixie Powders are the chosen medium for the background and the flower's petals. I've added a little butterfly which once again uses Pixie Powder and cut out with card and an overlay with vellum. A thinking of you die from CC and a few sequins.

There we are for now, still trying to chase this cold, especially as this is the penultimate choral practice before the concert, and I have to say I don't feel much like signing. Alistair is feeling better, thank you for all your commiserations and get well wishes.

Cheerio for now and see you son,

This is so lovely Kate. Sorry to hear you are still feeling unwell but glad Alistair is on the mend. John had a really nasty virus which then went to his chest so needed antibiotics and he was unwell for nearly three weeks, in fact only just started getting better in the last couple of days. I knew he was ill because he wasn't eating ...lol! No matter how ill he is he always manages to eat but not his time so I was concerned. Anyway I do hope yo uare both feeling well a again soon. Hugs Christine xx
