Aren't they the sweetest? Couldn't wait to break them out of their plastic wrapper and ink them up.
I also took the opportunity to use one of the Penny Black Salutation sentiment stamps which I won from Ann's blog candy recently.

Special Friends

Just wanted to say a humungous 'Thank You' to 2 ladies who are very special friends of mine, Ann and Irene.

I've been having a bit of an ongoing battle with my HS since last September and was slipping nearer and nearer towards the 'black hole' ... (where no one wants to go believe me) ... when these cards dropped through the door and saved me.

Perfect timing ladies ...

Special Friends

There are some very special people in the world ... and I am blessed to know a few of them.

Yesterday I was all alone in the house doing the latest batch of card orders and, to be honest, was feeling a little bit lonely and a lot fed up.

Naomi was at school and hubby was yet again in Aberdeen on yet another 2 day course, so the house was really quiet.

The doorbell rang and I was surprised to be handed a box and just look what was inside ...

Thank you Joyce ... your kind gift really cheered me up just when I needed it.

Revealed

I recently posted a 'Sneaky Peek' and I can now reveal the whole card as it was safely delivered last week ... better late than never.

Lovely K. & Co. papers and letter tiles, scalloped edges and a touch of ribbon helped to make this pretty card for my good friend and fellow blogger Tiggertastic.
Her gift was a photo cube kit which I know she will enjoy making, although she may prefer to use prettier papers than those included with the kit.
She had already told me that she was getting a new sewing machine for her birthday, so I sent her a bundle of fabric to play around with, not for her birthday ... just to get her started.
I know she'll make better use of it than me as my machine only ever sees the light of day when hubby needs to turn up his jeans.

Vintage Papers

I had a play today with a stack of vintage look designer papers from K & Co. that have been in my stash for months and never touched. Shocking I know. I love the soft greens and rosy pinks in this range and can't imagine why I have hidden them away for so long.
The tag is removeable and reads ... "For You ... Just Because"

Following in the same colour scheme, I also spent some time making a Friend Card.
Inside the envelope, (made with my own fair hands lol), is a teeny weeny accordian book with a friendship message, all tied with a ribbon.
When it is opened it can be hung on a notice board or the side of the fridge ... as a constant reminder of a special friendship.
