Wow I've Done Some Cooking....

Well my best attempts are always something easy straight from the freezer, but me and DH decided this morning we would have a nice meal together, but...... it had to come out of a weightwatchers book, and we hadn't time to look together, so I bought all the ingredients for a 3 course meal, have chilled the wine and I have made the Starter, Sweet Potato and Chilli Soup, and the Dessert, which was supposed to be Very Cherry Mousse, but Tesco didn't have tinned Cherries, so now it is Very Strawberry Mousse, hope DH still likes it, and he is going to make the Main Dish which is Spicy Sausage Pasta, made with Chorizo which I know he loves....

My plans were nearly blown away when DD woke up this morning unable to breathe, this has never happened to her before, none of my 10 chldren suffer from Asthma and she was crying and panicing and I was trying to calm her down. I got an emergency appointment at the Doctors and appaarently this can happen to a lot of children, where the ribs meet the chestbone, the bone hasn't yet finished turning to bone and is still cartlidge and it becomes inflamed, this can happen due to exercise (she did the beep test and sit ups at school on Tuesday) or a viral infection which they ruled out her having, and the only thing she can take is ibuprofen for the pain, but once the pain dies down, her breathing becomes much easier, so fingers crossed this will heal quite quickly, although the Doctor did say it could take up to a week.

Belle my little pug was given the all clear by the vets today, they say her collar can come off on Monday, and we can also bath her then, which is excellent as she is getting a bit smelly because of the collar. In the meantime I have taken the very hard decision of re-homing my Great Dane. If anyone can give her a genuine good home and you have experience of Great Danes, then please contact me. I think she will be better off as an only dog, but she is really affectionate and loving, just not around my other dogs. (LindaLLoyd@gmx.net)

So all that leaves me to do is post today's card before I go and liquidize my soup.... and here it is, lots of Stampin Up stuff on here....


I used Perfect Plum and Pale Plum Cardstock and stamped the canvas stamp onto the Pale Plum Cardstock using Perfect Plum Ink. The scallop edge was cut in Whisper White using the Scallop Edge Punch. The other scallop edge with the holes was made using the Fiskars Threading Water Punch. The Ovals were cut using the Spellbinders Nestabilities. The Stamped Image is from A Rose Is A Rose Stamp set and cut and mounted on Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White Cardstock using Perfect Plum Ink and is stamped using the Best Yet Level 1 Hostess Set. So there we go a card using mainly Stampin Up today, if you would like to purchase any of these items that I have used today, I am offering free postage on them until Sunday, just contact me on LindaLloyd@gmx.net.

Have a great weekend all xx
