Thanks to everyone who visited week before last. I did try to reply to all where I was able to.
I managed another twenty cards to send to all involved in aftermath of the attack in London - I could not believe it when we heard the news of the fire at Grenfell Tower - hope our cards reached all those involved - probably the same people. My heart goes out to all affected.
Last Tuesday saw me out to lunch with friends, on Wednesday I did a class for one of my ladies and the rest came along on Thursday evening. Friday DH and I travelled up to Yorkshire to visit our eldest son Matthew and his lovely family and to meet the latest addition to the family - a gorgeous beagle named Ralph :-) We were also there to help eldest grandson, Harry begin his week of 12th birthday celebrations - where did those 12 years go?
Sorry I meant to show my desk first
The card is for my very best friend, it is her birthday on Friday - same day as my eldest grandson :-) and my grandma. I love the Daisy Delight Bundle from Stampin Up and have used it a lot. Inspiration for this card came from one made by Monica Gale - I have changed it somewhat though.This week I have to finish making cards I promised to send to the Care Home mum was in for a month - for their Summer Fete.
At last below are the ATC's I received. Aren't they gorgeous? Have a book full of lovely items as well from Morti and I will put that on next time.
Below are my cards for London. The group sent almost six hundred.
Below my display/ inspiration station for my class last Thursday to launch the 2017/2018 Stampin Up catalogue.
So that's all my makes for the moment. I am looking forward to visiting as many desks as I can to admire everyone's work. If you would like to join in then visit Julie's Blog and find out more!!!
If you can cope with more - a few photos of the weekend. On Sunday we left Yorkshire and all met up in Derbyshire for lunch for Father's Day and for younger son's family to meet Ralph and all visit with each other :-)
Harry and Sam - grandsons. Harry is at back. My D.I.L. made the cake and I decorated it.
Stand off between Ralph and my son, after Ralph took his sock lol it was soooooo funny.
Grandpa and Sam playing cricket.
Well I think that's it - more than enough I think.
I'm so happy to see you've gotten to see your family a lot and how happy the boys must be to have a new puppy! Beagles are so cute, but they love to run off so beware! Nice of you to make and send all those cards, you have a good heart. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Your cards for London are so thoughtful and I'm sure were much appreciated. I like your display area and I'm sure that cake went down well; chocolate always does at that age. Sarah #28
