Make My Monday Indian Summer

By
The lovely Fliss has chosen the theme of Indian Summer for this week's challenge at Make My Monday she would like to see hot vivid colours on your cards and projects just like a late summer garden.
Here is my card

 

So - I am doing this on my iPad while I wait to be picked up to go and see my dad in hospital. We were called in last night as he was very agitated but after we left he got worse and he has now been transferred to Telford hospital where there are better facilities. Means quite a long journey both ways so it's quite tiring too.
Please leave me a quick comment - it's nice to know are crafters out there reading my blog - I need a bit of cheering up too! xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
