Morning all,
A/C set to automatic - imagine our surprise when the heating came on during the night! Doesn't happen to often and there was a faint smell of burning (dust on the elements) as it warmed the house through - hmmmmm - looks like another long pants day!
Yesterday was special offer day at the Texas Roadhouse Grill, an 11oz sirloin for $11.99!!! Yeah ..... and I've still not managed to finish one!!! Guess what's for lunch today?!?!?!

A little more crafting ... as Christmas approaches no-one wants to find they don't have enough Christmas cards ..... what if a pal rings and asks if she/he/they can buy some? What if you put them somewhere so safe that you can't find them? What if you get an unexpected card and need to send an extra? All this goes through your head and keeps you making Christmas cards beyond your needs and I'm no different! I THINK I have enough but I just can't help myself ... HAVE .... TO ...... MAKE ...... MORE!!!!

OMG! LONG PANTS!!! Hope the sun makes an appearance for you today. We definitely haven't got any. It's another Grim n Grey day in jolly old Blighty :oD
FABULOUS card. I LOE the neon blue with the black. What a great combination. That image is LUUUUUSHHHHH too. Love that.
What a treat to go for a spin in a Corvette. Shame about the whiplash but sooooo worth it :oD

COOL lamp post festive card Kathy. Like those colours together.
UBER COOL car your friend has. The whiplash was probably worth it! LOL!
Heavy rain forecast all day here . ..
Hugs, Sarn xxx
Love the effect of the splatter.
Having had a 'short pants' day Saturday...we now have torrential rain.
Currently sunny here in Ireland, 21C in my sitting room that faces south, just to rub it in Kathy.
Yes, it is colder outside, but this warmth trhough my windows is saving my using oil, and brilliant at this time of year.
Loving the car Kath. We have a 4 seasons day today...rain, cold, sunshine, warm!! Snuggled up with Nurse Dobby right now.
Great card. Love that lamppost and great colourway.
If I get any embarrasments I tend to say that I cut down on cards to give money to animal charity, which I do with the girls in work. There are 30 of us in work and as I don't tend to make for all, it saves both embarrasment and work!
