Dog school Fun Day and BBQ

I thought you might all like a giggle....yesterday we took the two dogs to the dog school fun day, it was like being back at school, doing relay races, egg and spoon and all sorts of silly things with the dogs!!!!!

Just for fun I took Chester our Lab in the ring for Best Dog and he came third, winning a toy, and receiving a certificate and yellow rosette.

Then for a laugh we entered the Fancy Dress, now bearing in mind I didn't even consider this till the evening before and we had to be there by 10.30 all I could think of was to put poor Chester into Nei'ls sleeveless cricket jumper and for me to dress up in the cricket trousers and top. We both had white hats and I carried the cricket bat. We did come second, Chester getting another certificate and rosette and a new ball....me I got NOTHING but it did make everyone laugh as I was the only silly owner to dress up too!!!!!!!!!!! The winner of the fancy dress looked very smart in something very grand, bought from the intertnet, so we didn't really stand a chance of coming first against that!!!!!

We had just a brilliant day, the dogs were both very tired at the end of it, as too were Neil and myself. The bbq was very tasty too, and we were certainly ready for something to eat after playing all those games.

Another anniversary card

Why is it that some days or even weeks we struggle with our creative side? That's me at the moment, and it is my neighbours wedding anniversary tomorrow. This is at least my second effort at making them a card. I have an idea in my head, but it just doesn't seem to translate to the card!!!!!!!!!

Oh well as time is catching up with me this will have to do. Guess it's the thought that counts and actually remembering their special day.

I used a Stamping Up stamp and metal flower.

Card for a poorly friend.

A friend has just had a big op and I can't get to see her, so have made this card to pop in the post and hope it cheers her up a little.

Have had this stamp for a long time, it's good to dig the old ones out sometimes and use them.
I used some versafine ink pads (those little square ones, and I have had them for quite a while too) in sage old rose and violet and added a bow using green and purple ribbon.

Wedding gift

I should have posted this with the wedding card last week!

The couple had put on the invitation that they did not want any gifts, but you feel bad if you don't take anything along for them don't you?

Well I remembered on the day we were going that I had bought a K & Co kit ages ago, so had a rummage round and found a brag book to make up.

I thought it might be nice for the bride to put some of her pictures in it, keep it in her handbag so that she would have some pictures on hand to show people!!!!!

I also made a box to put it in(to match the card and invitation...just to carry on the theme).

I hope she liked it.

(after scanning it, I also added a sliver heart charm too)
