Happy Birthday Little Bro

Good morning all, 

Thanks for joining me on this Thursday morning. 

Well, I am so chuffed that the new bird feeder is being used...

We have had the usual Robin, bluetit, coaltits And hedge sparrows. 

Then we had a nuthatch who came for some breakfast, honestly I was so delighted to see him..

Love the way he feeds upside down. 

Yesterday a pair of blackbirds arrived and today a Jay, 

I really feel at home now,,.

Although I must get on and stop watching them, 

It is our Autumn retreat in Cumbria this weekend,,,

We have 30 ladies booked in...

Wow, I am so chuffed that you want to come and play for the weekend...

I do love our retreats 

Mind you , to be honest, I do get a bit stressed at this point...

You see , it is just me...

No team of helpers behind the scenes...

So all the planning, buying, emailing, cutting card etc 

It is little old me...

I worry, have a forgotten anything, will the Crafters like the projects..

Oh and did I pack that bottle of Prosecco !!!!

I will let you know next week...

Today I am sharing a card with you, 

I made this for my brothers recent Birthday 

I do love the way we can personalise cards..

Don’t you ? 

You see my brother has a couple of allotments , 

And he won first prize last year for his ..

Well done little Bro,,,

( I love to call him that , obviously he is so much taller than me )

I used a couple of stamp sets from Hobby Art..

They were just perfect , 

You see he grows, sunflowers, everlasting sweet peas, 

Various vegetables..

And onions...

Well 

Just look at the size of the one he gave me 

And did you notice..

I added his name on the plaque 

I actually used the word Christmas...

And just cut it down..

It fit perfectly 

Right better get a move on..

Have a lovely day all..

Take care ...

Much love and hugs 

Jo. xxx
