Sketch time at MTTC

Good Morning,

Thank you for all your good wishes for Emma, she is a little better and  being allowed home while they wait for the results of the tests they have done.

Today sees a new challenge at My Time to Craft and this week we have a sketch for you:

H for Happy

Good Afternoon

I am late posting my card for the Alphabet Challenge this week, but I am not having a very good week - my granddaughter Emma has been quite poorly this week, very sick and unable to eat or drink.  On Wednesday   it was her 8th birthday and she was taken into hospital where she still is while they try to find out what is making her so sick they are doing tests for allegies etc. so we have to wait and see.  I am so sorry not to have been round to visit your blogs but hopefully will get round over the weekend.

Now to my card for Alphabet Challenge which for this fortnight is:

H for Happy
Use the word Happy on your creation.

Lorna's Birthday

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope Mr Blogger behaves today and publishes this on time as I will not be home until later.  My little girl Lorna was 40!! on Wednesday and Lorna, myself and my two daughters in law are spending Friday at a local hotel, having some pampering an evening dinner and staying the night, the boys (her two brothers) are paying for Lorna as a birthday treat.

It's time for a new challenge at My Time to Craft and my card is the one I made for Lorna's birthday, (sorry the photo's are not very good), the challenge this week is to:
