Hello everyone,
I was hoping to get some crafty time during the school holidays, but it's not happening! The day after we got back from our holiday to Wales, we had to take Emma to a 4 day cricket festival in Malvern. She had an amazing time playing against Ireland and Kent. We had a lovely time watching all the cricket too - the college is set in beautiful grounds and the weather was gorgeous. Since then, she's played in Durham, Scarborough, Bradford, basically cricket has hijacked my holidays, (I've had 3 days at home in 3 weeks!) not only is she playing for numerous teams, she has now decided to start coaching and is helping out with the Under 11's.
Inbetween all the cricket it was my Dad's birthday last Thursday and I very quickly cobbled together a card for him. I've used a brilliant stamp from Lili of the Valley. This is Elbow Grease.

Beautiful card Lorraine; you cannot go wrong with LOTV stamps. So pleased they've now released new ones. You must be exhausted and very proud of your Daughter. It looks like we could all be seeing her in the future playing for either a County or the Nation.
Lovely masculine card Lorraine…beautiful presented as always
