Morning readers,
How's your week coming along? Monday evening saw us out to dinner with a friend, for a great curry at our fave restaurant. Tuesday morning dawned good and wet so I changed things about a bit - I normally take a walk then craft but decided to go the other way round - in the hope the rain would let up! It kind of worked because I managed my three miler without getting wet but .. it was NOT a good weather day! Nor did I get to spend a great deal of time at the ToC (Table of Craftiness) but I DID fill my car with fuel (first time since 2019 though I have popped £5 worth in a couple of times) AND bought some C6 card blanks from The Range whilst I was in the vicinity - is it my imagination people, or does The Range seem to have almost stopped selling stamps (clear or wood mounted)?
I've a make to share with you today ....... the fruits of my crafting!

The last two weeks have been Balloon fortnight around here ........ we were sitting at the home of some friends, at the weekend (enjoying the sunshine), when a whole load of them went overhead ... I only had my phone with me but these are the best of the pix, followed by a GLORIOUS sunset!

Such a lovely and cheerful card, Kathy, and I just love your balloon photos. Thank you for sharing your lovely card with us on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog. Good luck with your entry, and hope to see you again. Hugs, Lori (DT)
That’s a lovely cheerful card to send someone.
Congrats on your LIM recognition too.
Great balloon photo’s, but I’m blown away by that gorgeous sunset.

It is a brilliant get well card Kathy and I love the colours and the pretty flowery stencil in the background with the great silhouette leaves over the top. Congrats on being ShowCased for the LIM challenge Kathy with your pretty Iris, and great photos of the balloons. I know that they normally have a weekend of flights, but a wonderful idea to have them taking off from different places around the city over two weeks to prevent crowds gathering, and it's a fantastic sight to see lots in the air together...a super sunset pic too. x
Beautiful card. I love working with flowers. Thanks for sharing on International Art & Soul. Maggie, DT
