What makes me happy is to do something and someone really notices and comments on the result or outcome, whether that be crafting, cleaning/housework, cooking or the day job. Sounds like you had a great day, ending off with a lovely stroll. Take care.

I like the bike idea- how about you and Dave on a tandem ? That way you can look at the view for inspiration as he peddles lol. Sounds like you have had a rewarding day, it is lovely when the house is clean and tidy isn't it ( doesn't happen here that often). I've spent the day helping my daughter tidy her room so she is organised for the year ahead (day off after 3 days of college!). If I help her it gets it done rather than her getting distracted and playing her musical instruments instead ! We had a laugh whilst doing it and listened to music so job well done. I am one of those sad people that enjoys ironing - as long as there is something good on TV , especially if you can get the washing dried on the line and ironed in the same day. Also coming home in the winter to the smell of a casserole cooking - yum. The card today is wonderful and that stamp is amazing, thank you for sharing.

Shows were great, I too could not resist ordering this stamp and stencil, I loved the back to basics of what you did on the show. Will have to have a go at the distress ink in the spritzer background, great effect. I too am tidying up as taken the plunge and my cleaner starts tomorrow, so don't want the place in too much of a state. Ain't it always the way, at least it might make me a little tidier, Bob Hope and no hope.

One of my favourites: The screwed paper pressed on the coloured Gelli Plate. <br />This card here is very nice too.
