Crafty Calendar January Challenge

 


Hi everyone and apologies for being a tad late! but nasty flu bug hit the household over Christmas and the New Year, my daughter-in-law had it really bad and it's still lingering.
It's time for our first challenge of 2026 over at Crafty Calendar and the theme is 'Anything New' ..I made a Happy New Year card...you can pop over to the challenge blog and join in and see what my teamies have created.
I hope this finds all of you well and if I hadn't had my family around me at this time of year I do believe I would have crawled in a hole and hibernated because it was my birthday in December and of course Christmas and both being without  'the hubster' was really really hard and it continues to be hard but as my brother keeps saying take your time, do everything in your own time. Bertie and myself are going for a stroll to our favourite place and I'll be scattering some of Paul's ashes...I haven't been able to face it yet but it's something I need to do for myself. 
Anyhooooo I hope you are all staying snug and warm...we've had quite a lot of snow and Bertie has been romping about in it like a spring chicken LOL. Take care everyone and lots and lots of huggles xxxxxxxxx Sue xxxxxxxxxxxx

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

 

Hi everyone..it's the last challenge of 2025 over at Crafty Calendar and the theme is 'Winter/Christmas' so pop on over and join in the fun and get the chance to win 2 fab digital images from LOTV.

I know it's been quite awhile since I last blogged but I'm still dealing with the loss of 'the hubster' and with my birthday coming up on the 14th December and Christmas I wasn't looking forward to either....but my family have rallied round and tried to make it special, especially my birthday because I will have hit 70!!!! Oh my word doesn't seem five minutes since I was in school lol 

Anyway, I would just like to thank each and every one of you and wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Lots of huggles

October Challenge at Crafty Calendar

 


It's time for our monthly challenge at Crafty Calendar and the theme this time is 'Halloween' so get on over and join in with your spooky creations.

Nothing much has changed here ..I'm trying to make myself active and not mope around the place but it's hard with 'the hubster' I keep going to talk to him and then stop myself..he loved playing golf when he was fit and well and the Ryder Cup was on over the weekend and he would have absolutely loved watching us win it again.

Bertie and me have been going on our walks and he keeps me sane at the moment...we are going down to Liverpool on Friday to stay with my Son for the week so I'm looking forward to that. Well that's all my news I think...take care everyone and lots of huggles xxxxxxxxxxxx Sue xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

September Challenge at Crafty Calendar

Hi everyone...well it's been a long time since I last blogged and such a lot has happened ...I'm fully recovered from pneumonia now...but on 6th August I lost my beloved 'hubster'. It's so strange not to have him around the house and I find myself going to talk to him and realise he's not there. We were out shopping and an alarm went off on his machine that controlled the pump in his heart...so when we got back he phoned the hospital and they said come on up ...that was on the Sunday he passed away on the Wednesday after. It was so quick I was in total shock..think I still am to be truthful and then two days ago I went out to do some shopping and a woman drove into my car and that's been written off...you couldn't make it up if you tried really..so now I have to wait to get a car. Anyway that's all my news I hope I haven't depressed anyone.


 This month's challenge at Crafty Calendar is 'Lots Of Layers' and we have 2 Polkadoodles images for a prize..so please pop on over and enter the challenge and see what my teamies have made.

Take care and I want to thank all of you that sent me gorgeous cards and took the time to get in touch and for all the kind wishes.

Lots of huggles xxxxxxxxx Sue xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

June Challenge At Crafty Calendar

 


The June challenge is up and running for Crafty Calendar and the theme this month is 'Add A Sentiment'...I could have made this card to send to myself! I'm sorry I haven't been around but I've been really poorly with pneumonia...still really getting over it because I'm feeling so weak and tired but hopefully I will feel much better soon and be able to get back to my blogging.

This image is an LOTV one which I think is very cute..please pop on over to Crafty Calendar Challenge as we have some fab prizes to win every month.

Take care everyone and huggles xxxxxxxxxxxx Sue xxxxxxxxxx
