Noel

Hi Folks. I am trying to get some Christmas cards made for the sake of Tony as he adored Christmas. I am trying to take little steps back into crafting.
The cards you see for two of DT teams I have scheduled up to November in most cases. I know I owe some of you emails and I promise I will try to answer when I can.

To make things worse my Coral Paintshop Pro has stopped working all of a sudden. I still can't take a good photo even though Tony tried to teach me bless him.

Hi Folks. I am so behind making my Christmas cards this year for obvious reasons. I thought I had better making a couple of really simple ones. They are simple but took me ages to make as my heart really wasn't in it. Tony loved Christmas and the decs had to go up on the 1st December.

My most important project I have ever made

Hi Folks, it has been and still is very sunny and hot here today. All is suppose to go down hill tomorrow.

My project today is the most important one to me that have ever made in my life. I can't say it is the best one, because it isn't.

I made this the week of my darling Tony's funeral. I am in tears typing this. It was the most important project I have ever undertaking. I was in tears doing it as it didn't seem to be going right and I wanted it too be so special. I have never done anything like this before and it was only because my Step-Daughter sat beside me telling me to get on with it and it will be okay that I continued doing it. It is of course our two initials. It is on the fire hearth where I can see it.

My Most Important Project

Products Used

Alphabet Shapes - Papermania - Do Crafts

Patch Sheets - Bare Basics - Perfect Partner - Papermania - Do Crafts

Decoupage Glue - Ocaldo

Decoupage Varnish - Ocaldo

Thank you for looking.

Dream Valley Challenges - Ch#137 DT Card

Hi Folks. Thank you for all your support over the past twelve months and especially the past 5 weeks. Although my cards have been popping up as they have been scheduled well in advance I haven't been here in person. Thank you to those of you that have still popped by to comment on them. I now have to tackle my own health issues that have been brushed aside and ignored because my darling Tony was uppermost in my mind. I hope to be able to now be back here with you all.

It is time once again for another super Challenge to start over on DREAM VALLEY CHALLENGES,

Our theme is BUTTONS AND BOWS.

Our sponsor is :- ROBYNS FETISH
