picnic party pics and my new obsession.

I have a new obsession... cardmaking!

Who knew i'd ever become a cardy....??

Not me that's for sure, but there you go. I love it. I know i'm not that great but I don't even mind that... and that's weird. For me...

Anyway - first up is my card for this week's daring cardmakers challenge, in which were asked to make a card using pipe cleaners

(your love gives me warm fuzzies!)

Then I made these just to use up some scraps


and one I made before


So, we had a good time in the park...in the end - though it was fraught getting there if I'm honest. People were not in the right kind of mood to be meeting up with folks to have fun... but eventually it all worked out ok. I was in the right kind of mood, having spent all day looking forward to it and preparing food etc, but it's amazing how quickly others can bring you down if they're not. Anyway, enough said. Everybody had a good time eventually whatever kind of mood they'd started out in.

When we got there it wasn't that busy...


....but by 8pm it was packed. The weather was fantastic and it was good to see people we haven't seen for ages and catch up with them. It was all very relaxed with a festival air and you couldn't help but wish there was more of that sort of thing happening more often round here. Oh well. We live in hope...And at least it didn't rain and ruin it.





The kids enjoyed the picnic and the grown ups enjoyed the pimms, beer and wine.. Oh, and the bands of course! We were there to see the bands.... lol :-)
