Hi there bloggies!
Sandy did well at his athletics carnival yesterday … and mum & I did even better!!! 😉 We managed to sit through most of the day … in the freezing cold wind … and watch him compete. We actually didn’t intend to be there as long as we did … but we were well rugged up … so … once the wind started to die down a little … we actually enjoyed sitting in the sun & getting some much needed fresh air. We did take a little time out at lunch time to run down to a local cafe for lunch! My friend, Tania came too. Then … back we went to the carnival! 😀 Mum seemed to be enjoying the time out … so I was happy to sit and enjoy the relax with her.
Have you ever looked at a shop bought card … and thought “I could make that”! ?? This card is a CASE of a shop bought card that I had seen … and I took the idea along to our Clayton’s Convention in May. The girls enjoyed having a play with this idea. It really is such a simple card … lotsa stamping … and a little embossing (the white butterflies). I have also added a little bling on the wings on the All A Flutter butterfly. It doesn’t show too well in the photos … but it adds a really pretty sparkle to the card. This “CASE” came together really quickly.
Well … I am off to visit my M-I-L today. I haven’t had a day with her in I don’t know how long. It will be nice to sit and relax (again) and have a good chat. Stacey is coming with Bree … so I am looking forward to some cuddles! Have a great day! Hugs xxaxx

Thought u’d like Bruddles a lot and feel free to use as much as needed. I wanted to use it with our wee one Pippa….but you get Piddles….and it is not quite the same….is it??? ooxx
Andrea adds: As I write … Bree has just finished her feed … and is in the process of doing a well stored up no.2!!!! Yes … she likes to store for anything up to 5 days … and then … wow! A doozy! So … I might hold off on the Bruddles until she is finished with that exercise! Love the “Piddles” … cracked me up! You have gotta use that!!! 😀 Or … maybe “Puddles”. Hugs xxaxx

Either way darl’n…….one leads to the other…..lost of piddles = puddles!! LOL!!! So glad that Miss Bree cleaned out her pipes!!! Perhaps Mum is having something in her diet that constipates Bree?? Has been known to happen. If you get her pipe cleaning escapades on VDO….you cld win mega bucks!!!! There was one of a wee bubba on a Skype call with its mumma the other day and the volume/pitch was (audible) and perfect!!! Just a suggestion of course!! ooxx
Andrea adds: LOL … not sure that Stace would appreciate having her daughter on YouTube for all the world to see (& hear) … unless it was something more adorable!!! Thanks for the giggle! Hugs xxaxx

Andrea I have just read that your dad has passed away. You have the comfort of knowing he is in a better place but you must really miss him. Take care. Vx
Andrea adds: Thanks Vicky. I am sad … but doing okay. Mum is also coping well … even though I am sure she has her sad times, too! Hugs xxaxx
