Beautiful Day!

And yes it is a gorgeous day here in Enfield.

This is my second post of today so please scroll down to see my DT card for the new Fab'n'Funky Challenge.

I had both Neil (son) and Lynne (daughter) for lunch - seems strange with neither of them at home now tho Neil has been away for some time now. Neil has just passed his final Sgt exam with Police Force and he is so chuffed - so am I of course!!  Just to go in front of the Board now fro final interview and hey presto - Sgt instead of Acting Sgt and PC.  Happy times ahead for my family I think with new babe coming soon and Neil hopefully getting his promotion at work.

I had a bit of a downer last night as I found out that the Craft Fair (my 1st) I had reserved months ago has been booked up without me knowing - hard to understand but the email confirming dates and asking for payment etc went to the wrong email address and I am now too late to get the promised stall.  I had made loads of cards etc for selling and was so excited about this with it being my first boo hoo.   Oh well I say its their loss in the end - I have seen cards for sale at other events and think my gawd how can they sell that 'disaster' of a card?  I know my work isn't fabulous but at least I put an effort in with my cards and stationery.  Do others feel the same as me?  I detest preprinted decoupage and toppers etc so much they turn my stomach as do peel offs - yuk!
