Do you see what I see?

Hi friends!
Well, I don't think I can take much more of this heat! I know...I'm a 
misery guts....it just makes me itchy and grumpy and a 
grumpy Mama Jo is not a good thing!
A potter about the garden is about as much as I can manage lol!
Anyways, enough waffling...today's card is another "just because".....!
I'd love to know what Tilda's looking at...or maybe she's just staring into space....
dreaming of Edwin lol! It looks a bit dull in photo but is actually
a real pretty mix of pinks....hope you like it!
Thanks for calling today and see you tomorrow!

Aww, look at that little face....!

Hasn't he got the cutest little face?? 
How I wish my boys were that size again....3 of 'em are 6ft plus
 and the other 2 are catching up quickly!
No craft time for me yesterday and probably not today either....but lots planned for the weekend!
So this is another "just because" card and looks nothing like I
originally planned it ....but at least it's not purple lol!
And, best of all, it's made with old or unused stash!
Rightio, going to go do a bit of gardening...wish me luck!
Thanks for calling today, see you tomorrow!

Just one more purple card......!


Wow, what a gorgeous day it was yesterday...was great to get the washing out
and see lovely blue sky for a change....looks quite promising for today, too!
So today I'm sharing the last of my purple cards, well, last for now, you know me...I just can't resist
purple! This is a "just because" card....I'll add a sentiment to it when I know where it's going - prob to one of Miss Rebecca's friends!
More housework today, bit more ironing, some washing....oh what an exciting life I lead!
Not complaining really, I'm quite happy with my lot and the sooner 
I get my jobs done, the sooner I can craft!
Have you got anything planned for today?
Thanks for calling
