A lot of cutting out....




















You will have to forgive me on pictures being sideways on, just bend your neck your be ok lol.
The fairy cards took me hours to cut out but I was sat in comfy chair doing it so it was sort of relaxing and my legs were not doing what I asked so sitting was best.
The vase and flowers cards I have left blank so I can use them for a few different occassions.
The blue wire flowers I made but still in experiemental stage, think the wire is to flimsy.

Feast One Hundred & Ninety Six

Appetizer

When was the last time you had your hair cut/trimmed?

Four weeks ago , I try and get it cut regulary as hair can cheer you up or get you down.

Soup

Name one thing you miss about being a child.

Doing sporty things , as since my mobilty is failing I miss things like netball, hockey, rounders etc.

Salad

Pick one: butter, margarine, olive oil.

Ohh butter for taste but I try not to buy it so I don't get tempted to eat bread.

Main Course

If you could learn another language, which one would you pick, and why?

French or spanish, just love the sound of them.

Dessert

Finish this sentence: In 5 years I expect to be…

Thinner!!

Feast One Hundred & Ninety Five

Appetizer

What is the weather like today where you live?

We have actually got sunshine today , but the weather over the past week has been wet and windy, definately not typical July weather.

Soup

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how career-minded are you?

Before I became a Christian I was an 8 , but now I have a different outlook on life and my health has been a huge factor also so a big fat 0 now.

Salad

What type of window coverings do you have in your home? Blinds, curtains, shutters, etc.?

Ohh we have curtains in all rooms except the bathroom and kitchen which are blinds.

Main Course

Name something that instantly cheers you up.

The sunshine. But when I look at why I felt so down its normally because I haven't had my quiet time and not fully armoured myself for the day with reading and prayer.

Dessert

How many times do you hit the snooze button on a typical morning?

I don't tend to use it at all, unlike my husband but that's a different story.(chuckles)
