A Birthday Treat and First Batch of Card Donations

We had a lovely treat at the local nurseries' restaurant on Monday with Graham's birthday voucher.  I chose a fruit strudel and a pot of tea and Graham plumped for lemon meringue and coffee....



Both were absolutely delicious  and Graham ate every crumb.  Mine was far too big so I was glad I had taken a plastic box with me as I cut it in half and brought the rest home with me 🙂

Waste not, want not.... 

Over the weekend I managed to do a little more crafting and have finished a batch of cards which will be donated to the Hospice charity shop when I next go to the village.  The light is terrible today for photography.  In reality, the cards are much prettier than they look as the colours are not showing true.....





I want to work on some more female birthday cards next as I would like to give the charity shop a reasonable selection to try.  I'm using up the bits and pieces in my stash and if the Hospice can get £1 each for my cards I will be more than happy.  Every penny helps.....

What have you been up to this week?

Thanks for popping in.  Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,
Angie 💗

  2. Really nice cards, and how lovely of you to donate them to the Hospice shop. That strudel looks huge, it was a good idea to take some home with you.

    1. The cake was massive. In fact, we shared the other half the next day!
      I do hope my cards sell well in the shop, Sue , as it will give me motivation to make many more and use up my incredible amount of craft stash which has accumulated over the last decade 😳
      The manager made all the right noises and said he will place them beside the till. I took 20 to begin with. Fingers crossed 🤞
