Merri's card

Good morning! I hope you have slept well and are having a good day. It was a mixed day for all of us Fishers yesterday - The girlies went to mad science and I went for a 9 mile run - which was hard going but I did it ... then I went home and finished cutting the roadside hedge. Then, whilst crafting I got a call from my mum to say dad had had another fall - he was going off to hospital. I went and fetched the girls and then met my mum at the hospital - thankfully all the tests went okay and they released him around 7.30 last night. A big scare for all of us again but thankfully he's okay!

Today its one of Lucy's friends birthdays - Merri is going to be 9 - and this is the card I made to give to her.


It feels a bit like a blast from the past - I haven't made a card like this for donkies - but I enjoyed it and I think Merri will like it.


The image is from a LOTV pad - I chose this one as Merri likes camping and has a Jack Russel dog - result!  I don't think its too young for her! Hope not!!!

Have a great day - we're all busy again - the girls have more mad science and I'm going swimming - followed by shopping and housework .... and some crafting if I get chance!

Big hugs

I forgot to mention on an earlier post, I think your bench seat in memory of Shaun is such a lovely idea and so beautifully made. Thanks for commenting on my blog. Much appreciated.
