Monday Musing on Tuesday!

So - my aim is (was) to post a blog entry every Monday and then again later in the week. I should have posted yesterday but events overtook me (note to self: write scheduled posts in future!) If you have come here from Michelle's Doodlebird designs blog then please don't let on that I have not done a scheduled post (she does them!). Go and have a look at her blog by clicking here.
One of the joys of living in a village is that we help each other: powercuts are quite common, when it snows the hill becomes impassable and we are "cut off" and two of the three roads flood after heavy rain. We know our neighbours and offer help to get each other through. On Monday two of my neighbours locked themselves out and while waiting for the person who has the spare key to come home from shopping they came in to my house to keep warm, use the loo and have some company.
The scrapbook page I made last week was sitting on the table so they enjoyed looking at that even though they are not themselves papercrafters.


Another of my friends has won an amazing trip to New York and I made her this Bon Voyage card.



The paper is a retired Stampin Up one and it really reflected the excitement of going to NYC. It was lovely to be able to wish her happy travels with a unique, handcrafted card.

Do you love fancy fold cards or find them a bit difficult? Michelle and I are planning a whole class on them as part of the Papercrafters Paradise luxury retreat in October. message us if you would like to come!
