Finally! (long post warning)

Hello there blogworld,

As it says above, finally another post! Just when I thought I was on a roll it turned out it was a sandwich!  I'm sorry that is just a sample of my very poor sense of humour!  I've always thought 'on a roll' is an odd expression.  What I meant was that just when I thought I'd managed to get back into a routine, it all went off again. Anyway I'm here now, and have a card to share.

But first you've all got to sit through my waffle!  So how did the party go?  It went fine, the only thing is that I must be getting old, as 28 or so 4 and 5 year olds was enough to send me loopy!  Especially at the end when the entertainer had finished, the kids were full of food, sweets and cake and had balloons to play with - I put my head in my hands and mentally hid!

Would anyone like to see a pic of my little chicken?  Yes? Here you go:


And in a dress too, a very rare occasion!  Of course, when she actually went out, she wore a pair of boots to go with this dress!  Has her own sense of fashion does my little chick.  Also at the end of the party all the children lined up to get a balloon shape - the girls got butterflies and poodles, the boys guns and swords - what did Em ask for?  A gun!  So she ended up with a pink balloon gun - to give her her dues she was holding her own against 3 boys (also with balloon guns and swords) at the the end of the party, before I had to drag her home!

Anyway, now I've bored you with my waffle - here is my card:

Front shot:

Close up of image:

and charm:


I used:

Saturated Canary digi image: Stroppy Beth - coloured with Promarkers
All papers: First Edition paper pad - Hideaway
Martha Stewart punch
Flower, ribbon and charm all from my stash

So hope you all had a great weekend, and if you went to any fireworks enjoyed yourselves and stayed safe.  Obviously thoughts go out to the poor people caught up in the terrible accident on Friday, such a horrible thing to have happened.

You won't see me tomorrow, as I'm off for a late 40th birthday present to myself - a few hours pampering at a local health spa - but you will see me on Wednesday as I have another card to share.

Cheerio for now.

Sarah
