Charity walk.....................................

here are some of the photos from the charity walk we did for our local hospice......................

 

 

 

this one is a little bit scary..........................

 

 

 

this is a dual carriage way that was shut down from 10pm until we all finished the walk................I drove down it the following day which was a little surreal!!

 

we were all issued with flashing bunny ears and this is the effect....................

unfortunately because the photos were taken on my phone it doesn't really do it justice..............

 

at this point we walking down the slip road from the dual carriageway and then under a bridge and the traffic were all honking their horns and shouting encouragement...................

If I'm honest it was quite emotional!!

Sorry it is a little photo heavy!!

We have now raised £1079.08 as a team which we named ourselves 'Practice make Perfect'

Now just as a bit of fun I thought I would see if you can guess who I am in the photos!!

I am pretty sure that none of you have actually seen a photo of me as I don't really like having my photo taken!!!!! I will put all the correct entries in a hat/bowl from your comments and the winner will be picked out by my OH and receive a Spellbinders die set (okay it will be second hand) I do have a few that I have never used (only to test cut) so I will find one out from my crafty stash and send it out to the winner!! How does that sound??

 

I hope you are still with me and not keeled over, but wanted to share with you all, the wonderful evening that we had and the camaraderie that took place, even the pubs en-route let anyone in to use the facilities and even closed the male toilets so the women could use them.....................amazing how people pull together for such a good cause..................

 

Anyway I will bore you no more...............just going to watch the end of the women's doubles...................what an amazing women's singles and hope it is not the last we see of Garbine!

 

I will hopefully be back tomorrow with a 'proper' post.............

 

enjoy the rest of the weekend.........

Back with a CAS.............................

wow guys it is only when I have just checked into my account that I realise how long I have actually been missing..............................

First of all I apologise for that and also for lack of commenting on your posts which I will hopefully catch up with over the weekend (or tomorrow) as we are going to a barbeque tonight at 5pm and I have the unfortunate task of doing some supermarket shopping before we go.................

anyway here goes, a CAS card made for a work colleague........................

 

this is an unusual style of card for me, but I had this vision in my head and it turned out how I wanted, which is always a bit of a bonus.....................

 

love this die and hopefully I will use it a lot in the future......................

 

love the cloud die too (bought from Joanna Sheen at a reduced price) which I am sure I will use a lot in the future................................

 

 

Ingredients used:-

SW Finishing Touches - Dandelion Clocks
MB Cloud Bank Die
Sheena Douglass Festive EF (used to emboss the back card)
LOTV Sentiment Stamp

A quick card to make if you are in a rush!!

Have a wonderful weekend whatever you are doing.

PS I am hoping to post some photos of the Night Sparkle Walk I did a few weeks ago for our local hospice - up to now they have had £127,000 pledged which is an amazing amount and as a small practice between us we managed to raise approx. £800/900 - makes the sore knees, feet and back worth it.
