The 2nd On The 2nd ...2014!

 Let's go back a few years to the 2nd of February 2014 and join in with Bleubeard and Elizabeth's Altered booklover 'Second on the 2nd' post.... 

Loads of things have happen since then. My Sis in law lost her hubby very suddenly, but has remarried. Cousins and Aunties and Uncles and parents have passed away. Bugaboo is no more. Quirky Crafts stopped for a rest and never woke up again. But the good things were, I ended up having two vans!  We did mend the pond! I've now repainted every thing in the garden in an Urban grey including the carport Hubby built in the lockdown. We had the drive paved, got next door to cut down their damaging trees and renewed them with a lovely hand made fence...added a Pergola and planted a Wisteria over it... so here's my 2nd on the 2nd...

Quirky Wishes for 2014

I'm a bit late tonight with my post as I'm really stuffed up with cold, and everytime I sneeze ...welll, you don't really want to know!! It's that Quirky Craft's time again. It's Gemma's turn to set the theme and she has chosen...

Wishes For 2014
 We're sponsored by Bugaboo and Sqigglyfly

I have many wishes for this year, one is to visit my daughter and grandson in USA, another is to repair the pond....it leaks, another, apart for winning the lottery, is to sort out my house and garden as I've been a bit lapse  for quite a while, after spending ages painting the fences, the shed and the little bridge in a nice soft green. Another wish is to get a nice little van or car to advertise my little Dog Walking and Pet Sitting business. So I've used four digi's from one of our sponsors. Bugaboo and made two cards almost the same.

Both cards have started off with Pinkpetticoat clouds with the digis printed over them  and inside some thin stripes. The outside stripes I made myself and you'll find them in the post below or above this one. Here  just click and save. I just made wiggly stripes using the colours I'd used on the card with my Promarkers.

 I've 3D-ed the house in one of the cards and the car and the house in the other. One of the cars has dogs on and in it too. There's also a bit of paws and bones embossing. (My newest folder that jumped in to my basket coz it was a little cheaper than it should've been) 

The map was cut from a free booklet, which came with a newspaper. I've cut out the bit where I live. Everything was edged in black but I ran out so some of it is paper and some of it is paper coloured with a black Promarker. (Sssh! no one will notice!)

One of the cards has a sentiment. The font I used is called Curlz MT it's the same font I used on my business cards. Google the name, some sites do charge but it can be found as a freebie.

That's my wishes for this year....although I wouldn't mind being thinner... but walking dogs does keep you fit!

Well, that's it, I'm off to bed with a hot toddy ...I've sneezed myself through this post, hope there's no way you can catch my cold via the internet! It gives a whole new meaning to a computer virus... or debugging! and Blogger is being a bit odd tonight and things keep disappearing!
Don't forget to stop by Quirky Crafts and join in!(This challenge of course in now closed!)  Thank you for stopping by!

It's Time for T stands for Tuesday and The 2nd on The Second

 Morning or Evening fellow T Stands For Tuesday. As I type this, it's sort of just gone midnight here, our clocks went back over the weekend, so it's really only just gone 11 on Monday evening, so, I'm early in a Time Travelling sort of way! On my desk there's a nearly empty Tea mug with a cat doing her exercises, this one is 'Lunges' There's also few die-cuts from some goodies I found at the Charity Craft shop. I'll use them later.

Not sure if this is a Tyrannosaurus or a Tarbosaurus! But he was very big and roared very loudly! Taken at The Eden  Project. It's very hot and steamy down in the Cornwallish Jungle!

I don't think Mr Jinx would've liked him! "Giv me Treats!"

And a Blast from the Past to celebrate the end of Oc'tomb'er, when I was on the Quirky Crafts DT Team. "Giv Us A Treat!" this was for 2nd on T Second post ( 2nd on The Second at Altered Book Lover)  but I couldn't find anything on a Tuesday on the 2nd back in the past, or anything to include a rainbow... but there is red and orange and yellow in it! So this was the closest I could get! This one was on a  Monday in October 2014!

Now,  back to this month.... The picture above shows us at a Town meeting we went to. That's us with our backs to you!  They want to build 170 odd houses, bungalows and flats (flats??crazy!!)in a small field in a tiny country lane near a Nature Reserve. "No way, José”!

The Grandkiddies are now out of self isolation! They're feeling fine and  are having lots of fun!

And, did you know? It's only 53 more days till Christmas!! Happy November!! Have a great 'T For Tuesday' day. Thank you for stopping by!
