In a Vase on Monday - Tulips

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you are well and, if in England, enjoying the May bank holiday.

Not just tulips, but there's white honesty, yellow forsythia and the foliage from aquilegia. 

Any flowers I bring into the house now are like a magnet for the kitten. She can't resist examining the vase and nibbles at flowers. And she tries to drink the water which can end in an upturned vase. So, for the time being, my little displays are kept in the kitchen, out of harm's way. 

The eggs in the basket are from a free range source and delivered by our milkman. This very odd looking egg was in this week's delivery.  

To see more lovely floral arrangements pop over to Rambling in the Garden where Cathy hosts In a Vase on Monday every week. 

Have a good week everyone. 

Christmas Card Club Challenge - Cards 9-16/2022 - Clean and Simple

Hello Everyone,

Surprise, surprise! It's been a wee while since the last time. Weeks actually. But today, while Alan is resting, I've found time to make a few cards. Eight cards actually. 

So here they are, in no particular order.

Thank's to Gwen for her theme of 'clean and simple' today. It made it so much easier for me to 'bash' so many out. Many of the toppers are recycled from cards preciously received - only the snowman and the trio of birds are my very own work! 

Recently I treated myself to a light box to help with the photographing of cards. I haven't mastered it completely yet, as can be seen from the quality of the above pics. I think baby steps are what's called for. I will improve with practice. 

That's me for today. I hope you're having a lovely weekend. I hope also that you will pop over to see what my teammates have created this week. You'll find a list of their names and links on my right sidebar - as always they are so much more creative than I will ever be.
