Vintage Vogue

On the last Wednesday of the month i run a Stampin class with a lovely group of ladies.It's so nice to know, that for the few deceitful and underhanded people in this world,the more kind and friendly people outway these minorities.We made this card using the Vintage Vogue stamp set,very Vintage wheel and perfect plum ink pad.This stamp set is becoming one of my favourite sets.We used crystal effects on our fake button to give it a glazed effect.
Update on hallway- nearly there, last bit of glossing should be done tomorrow.Only problem i have now is a black dog with white gloss stripes,she will probably be all white by the end of tomorrow.

Sad news

On Wednesday night my future mother in-law passed away suddenly.She will be missed greatly.Here is a picture of her taken at Diggerland.It was bitterly cold that day and we wrapped Shirley up with whatever we could.I was shocked to find out you have to pay for a death certificate not once but twice as you need two.We are now preparing for the funeral on 6th May.God bless you Shirley.
