Thrifty - or perhaps working on a need!

Today I had an assistant that was wanting to craft - or perhaps looking for something to do so as not to be bored.................Vicky is recovering well from her car crash and now has a reduced cast - her hairline crack in her elbow is mended............today she has been a "dab hand" at taking the backing from double sided tape and sticking 3D foam pads in the correct places...............adding embellishments and generally chilling out and being creative.

Now here is the thrifty part - Harrogate is looming next weekend like a big beacon of "feel good" - today Vicky and I have been making up cards using die cuts from Lily of the Valley - past purchases that have been waiting and waiting...............I still have more to use........but am now in more of a position to choose next weekend...........similarly dies and cardstock................there will be a NEED next Saturday. 

The backing papers are freebies with a recent monthly magazine, embellishments from "the stash" and sentiments from Little Claire.

Tha base for this card is from a monthly kit set from Little Claire that I didn't get around to assembling.....a card for my lovely Mother-in-Law.

This card is for my mum.....................who loves cats and flowers just like me.

Vicky asked today - bless her whether I wanted to make my own Mother's Day Card for next weekend as she would struggle at the moment...............it has been lovely being able to spend more time together as a family whilst she heals..............her replacement car is being delivered tomorrow........not quite sure when she will be able to drive again................but with her determination hopefully sooner rather than later.  Watch out for a white Fiesta................with load music! xxGaynor
