a thankyou, some birthday cards and the moonlight walk....

Evening all! I hope you've had a good day? Mine has been rather sore and sleepy but its been okay! The moonlight walk is over for another year - it took me 4 hours and 19 minutes to walk 25km. I found it very hard this year but we still managed to have fun!



This was a picture taken by the official photographer before the start - emma and myself are having a good chin wag - and I'm feeling a little chilly before we set off.



This is a selfie of the three of us that walked together - l to r - emma (runs coffee pot and runs and swims with me), me and Sue ( fellow PTA long term member!). A good night - and I hope the hospice had a good fund raiser - such a good cause - definitely worth the sore feet and legs I have today.

The girls also had a great night in their play - they did really well and the whole hall appreciated them lots - and excellent evening!



Last Sunday it was my birthday and I've finally got around to photographing the handmade cards I was given - thankyou so much you lovely people:




A wonderful set I think you'll agree! And here's a thankyou I've made (for my mum and dad) but I thought I'd share it with all of you!



The stamps are a JOFY set and all paints are paperartsy (smurf blue and snowflake white and tango). I also used a paperartsy stencil. 

I hope you have a great evening.

Big hugs

Rachel xx

  1. 25km in daylight would have given me sore legs and feet let alone at night when you can't see well. Well done to you all and a hospice is always a good cause too. A wonderful collection of cards you've received, Happy belated birthday. Love the thank you card and gorgeous stamps you've used.
