Good afternoon all from a cold UK.
Got all 3 kids home the Easter holiday. Ben is back from Uni and staying till Wednesday/ Thursday and both James and Phoebe are now on their spring break.
Tomorrow the Easter bunny is coming and I will be cooking a nice dinner with lamb :). I love family sit-downs like this - we get a chance to all be together and chat.
Not finding a lot of free crafting moments in between feeding the herd and cleaning up their mess but I did this yesterday ........

Well, Easter break has started here. I have Ben home for a few days (big smiles) plus James and Phoebe are here. Had an e-mail from the bunny stating that with all this snow there was no way he'd be around so hoping it all melts :).
Anyways, it's Friday and time for another fabulous challenge @ Dilly Bean Friday Challenge. This week the theme is ......... Easter. Well, was there ever any doubt lol.

Good evening ladies
Not got a card to share today but just wanted to share a picture of my wonderful and glorious "mormor" (granny in danish) who passed away this day a year ago.
I miss her so much every single day - she was a huge influence on me and she meant the world to me. This photo was taken on her 85th birthday (she would have been 90 on the 25th March 2012).
The memories of her will remain with me forever.
Hugs, Mette

Good morning all from a foggy UK.
Well, the weather sure likes to keep us on our toes - one minute glorious sunshine, next minute grey and cold. After 23 years in the UK I shouldn't really be surprised lol.
Ben is back this weekend. Yes - I know he moved out over a year ago but I still miss him a lot and look forward to seeing him when he comes home. He doesn't really live that far away so maybe I should go to Sheffield one day soon.

Good morning from a grey UK.
After yesterday's gorgeous sun we have grey and cloudy skies today. At lest the weather is keeping me on my toes hehe - never know what to expect here.
Got a mountain of ironing today ready for the school week. I usually watch create and craft tv to make it go quicker.
Just wanted to post this card as reassurance that a toy horse is considered a critter lol

Good evening all.
Wow, it's been a glorious day here in my little corner of the English countryside. Phoebe and I went for a walk and had a lovely time. The sun lifts the spirit and makes life happier :).
I love visiting other peoples blogs - so much inspiration, laughter and sharing but I am gonna have to be careful as I always find new images that I want. I have found a few on Pop's blog HERE (might have to stop visiting hehe). Honestly, I try to resist but a crafter's will-power is very weak - my son says I am obsessed but I think I might describe myself as a paper and stamp enthusiast :).
For my card today I have used
Dan, best friends @ Digi Stamp Boutique - card card-stock - MME designer paper - TSP sentiment - washi tape (October Afternoon)
Challenges
Send a Smile 4 Kids - For the Boys
Dutch Dare Card Challenge = For the Boys

Good afternoon from a cold and grey UK.
