Hi crafty friends. Well the school holidays are in full swing as are the boys who are missing school already but Katie is loving having her brothers around.
A bit of a tale to tell too. On Thursday I went to deliver a card a dear friend had asked me to make for her daughter's birthday. So after tea off I set. Card delivered safely and a quick chat as wanted to be back for kids bedtime. Well that didn't happen. I'd been happy driving along the motorway chatting to Iggy as we sped along. Yes I talk to my car. It is an old thing 8 seater with character and if I don't chat to him he takes the huff and and chugs away. He even gives a little shake when you turn off the engine. Anyhow, gets to end of motorway, and I see a bit of steam or smoke coming from the front. No warning lights flashing though.So carries on around the roundabout and stops in boundary mill carpark. As I parked up and got out, I was in a massive cloud of steam. I tell ya it was a bit scary, but could hear it hissing so knew steam not smoke. Whilst onlookers enjoyed a show and laugh some did of me trying to un latch the bonnet and this smoke filling the car park, I realised I was a fair distance from home and no AA. So what did I do. Closed the bonnet and went craft shopping. My darling Iggy had chosen to break down in the right place. It was open late too. So off I went and indulged in a few bits and a gorgeous bag of buttons to feed my fetish oh and a craft magazine and a new pillow. Well if I was gonna be stuck a while at least I'd not be bored and be comfy too.
Only me eh?
Well Iggy had cooled off so had a serious talk and willed him to get me home. We set off, then the blooming warning lights decide to flash, so avoiding using the brakes as it made it worse, a game of cat n mouse on another roundabout, I made it home. I felt like I'd really achieved something I can tell ya. Well he's been in the garage and been fixed but still gettin too hot, maybe the male menopause. Ha ha.
Well onto a card. It is one I'd like to enter in a challenge over at Merly Impressions blog. The theme Red White n Blue. Have used Mabel Lucie attwell stamp and coloured with pro markers. And put my big rosette on too. I do like making these.
That's all for now.
Remember our challenge is still anything goes at DCC & Friends
