The rain from yesterday has gone and the Sun is doing his best to make an appearance but hey there is definitely a nip in the air this morning...I'm afraid Summer has gone and Autumn is here....what happened to those gorgeous indian summer days we used to get in September and can you believe that the clocks change again this weekend....Spring Forward.....Fall Back....OK...it means another hour in bed but we are now heading towards those dark winter mornings and even worse.....dark afternoons.......I used to hate when I commuted to work that you left the house in the dark and came home again in the dark and if your office didn't have a window....you never saw daylight all day. Don't have that problem anymore....my little crafty cubbyhole is a hop, skip and a little jump from the kitchen door and has a huge window where I can gaze out at the garden and watch the birds.....I know....when I should be working.
I thought I would share this commission card with you today...the couple have now set off for a lovely cruise to celebrate their Ruby Wedding Anniversary......40 years married to the same person....well that's an achievement in itself......says me...another 2 years for us and hey I don't want no cruise....I want a gold medal or even a nice little Damehood in the New Years Honours List.
Papers: K & Co...Basic Grey
Hearts: Woodware Chippies
Lace & Buttons: from my stash
Rub-ons: Doodlebug All Mixed Up
Off to get ready for our morning walk....then back to work but hopefully time to get another challenge done today. Enjoy your day wherever you are and whatever you're doing. Love Kath xxxxxxx
This is fab!!! I'd love a cruise!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous anniversary card. Yes 40 years is more than a liftime and a very rare achievement in nowadays. The card is gegeous as usual. Funny how you are entering winter and we are entering summer here in SA. We have beautiful spring days filled with bird song.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Kath. I remember well those trips to and from work in the dark.Not for me anymore I can look out of my office window anytime I like..infact lately far too often I'm not getting any work done!
ReplyDeleteMy parents have just celebrated their 40th anniversary, I agree it's good going these days!!

Kath this is stunning... I'm sure they will cherish your card for a long time to come. I love all of the detail and the lace scallops are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Kath, I love your work.
ReplyDeleteMy parents celebrated 50 years last year by renewing their vows......mum always says that if she'd been a great train robber she's have only got 25 years :)
Hi Kath
ReplyDeleteLovely gorgeous card. Your are so clever. 40 years to the same person - what a milestone. By the way - I don't think the clocks change this weekend - I think its 26th October they FALL back. So we may still get that Indian sumemr after all. At least another few weeks of going to work and coming home in day light!!!
Love Terri
its gorgeous Kath bet they loved it

ReplyDeleteWell I had a lump in my thruat when I saw this. Mainly cos I was nearly sick with jealousy!!! Oh My God - it is soooo stunning and I just love it. You are clever, my lovely friend xxx.
ReplyDeleteAnd re the clocks, well it is just the sort of thing I'd do so I am glad I'm not the only dippity doo dah in blogland.
Hope you are having the most fantabulous day xxxxx
lovely card, i'm sure your friend will love that. It's our 40th anniversary in 2 years also 20 June 1970 we got married, how time has flown.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark. I worked in a Dept. store in a shopping center and unless you went out at lunch time you didn't see daylight, how I hated it.
But not anymore, thank goodness.
Thanks for your lovely comment on my card.
Love Carolxx
