Its not been an easy decision, but with arranging a visit to my fathers this weekend and a hectic week planned ahead i just don't think i have a choice. I received so many lovely comments on my previous post where i had to cut down blogging and i would like to thank you all for being so understanding.
I apologise for not getting round to visit your blogs this week, but i promise when things settle i will be back to visiting you all regularly.
The beginning of the week started well with lots of cards, im posting them all below on this post. I have easter cards to post too but will do that on my return. I hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend.
My favourite home grown stamps by sugar Nellie and a very simple card. Happy Birthday to da dear friend!
Leanne Ellis are adorable aren't they? I love this image and i seem to have favoured blue again for a while!
Black and red another favourite combination, add a gorjuss girl and you can't go wrong!
A special birthday card for a Special 18th birthday. Laura happy birthday hunny.
This is one of my favourite sugar nellie home grown stamps and my favourite retro flower punch too!!
Pink and this beige colour look stunning in my opinion, but then i am a pink girl as you know!
Happy birthday to Grace, she is 7 this week, loving this tea party image , oh they were the days, tea partying with my favourite toys!! i've continued the tea parties, but now with my friends!! i don't think ill ever grow out of that!
These gorgeous angel stamps my TAC have become my favourite images at the moment!!
These cards were made using free papers from one of the card making magazines, aren't they scrummy????
These gorjuss girls really are gorgeous!!
We managed to book a hotel last night at the last minute, so we will be travelling up to Hythe later this morning. I havn't done any packing, so must go and do that now, and make sure there are things left for the boys to eat while we are away. Best empty the washing machine and tumble dryer too as they will not think of that!
Will look forward to catching up with you all again in a week or so.
Hugs Linda x

All gorgeous cards Linda!!
There is life outside of blogging and sometimes we all need to realise that and take a break. We make so many friends in blogland which continually builds and in turn gets harder to regularly keep up with everyone's blogs. I've realised this recently myself. I am thankfull for all the wonderful friends I've made and I like to think these friends understand when you can't always visit and comment everyday and that sometimes we all need to take a break. Friend's aren't about comments and emails they are about being there to enjoy your highs with you and being there for you when times a low.
Try to enjoy your break hun, and best wishes to your father. Take Care and your friends will be here when you come back.

I have allways wondered how an earth you manage to do all this. Doing so many great cards and visit on so many blogs. I struggle with limited time all the time and you just have to make some heard decisions some time. I had to choose weather I will visit on every blog or do the cards on that time. It feels sad but I choose making cards...
Hopefully things will clear there and you have good time.
Hugs,
Aija
Awesome cards my dear! Love them all. Beautiful composition. Hope your break does you good and that life will settle down for you! Happy Easter! Hugs Jeanette
Beautiful cards Linda,take care and hope everything is ok, see you soon.
Hugs Linda
Great cards.
Happy Easter and hope you are enjoying your time out
Hi Linda
I don't know how you fit everything in that you do.
Slow down!!! Don't make yourself ill by trying to do too much.
I think no matter how long a break you take we will all be here waiting for you.
Your creations are lovely and an inspiration to us all.
I do hope all is well with your Dad. Love Jules xx
