Its been a week of deep thinking for me. As some of you will be aware i had considered doing a course in flower arranging, its something that has always interested me, but lack of confidence and generally lack of motivation has prevented me from doing anything about it. Until last week when a friend mentioned she had signed up and was i interested! It was the push i needed, i have spent the weekend making my mind up but Monday morning i did indeed enrol and pay my course fees, so at the end of September i will indeed be starting a floristry course. Lets hope i can do it!!
In the meantime, im struggling with my mojo still, but did get round to making up this card using one of my all time favourite penny black images! I adore this cute hedgehog. I have no idea what papers they are as i received them in a RAK and the sentiment was printed on my PC.
I stickled the nestabilitie matts and using diamantes to highlight. Coloured with my pro-markers with the flower on the hat glossy accented.
I have spent most of today stamping up images to send out for RAKs, my arms ache and my hands are black - completely covered in versafine!!! Its been raining on and off all day today, i did manage to walk Rocky Bear in between the downpours, but not sure if he'll get his evening walk!
AN AWARD

Well my loves have a wonderful evening and i look forward to catching up with you all again tomorrow. Hugs Linda x

Who is a very lucky girl??? As you know I had problems with blogger/IE for a long time until my son changed from IE and I haven't looked back along with numerous other people I know. I sometimes have to revert back to IE to rejig gadgets in my sidebar but I do what I need to do and go back elsewhere. Get in touch if you need to know what to do - my son who is doing an IT Diploma showed me what I had to do.
Enjoy your winnings.

Hi Linda....gorgeous card,love the hedgie you've used and such a pretty colour scheme.

Hi Linda your card is just gorgeous your mojo doesn't seem to be very far away at all if you can create such an exquisite card the colours are fab and the image is perfect. It sounds like you are having a rough day and be assured it happens to us all more often than you think lol. Blogger is having quite a few off days lately I have had to shut my computer down because I couldn't load my pictures it kept coming up with error messages. I don't use Internet Explorer anymore because it kept shutting down and I could have screamed so a blogging buddy told me about another browser that is much better but hasn't cured the problems with blogger.
Keep your chin up love because you are doing just dandy.
Hugs

HOW CUTE!!!!
What can I say? Another darling card. How clever of you to put that flower on the hat and I'm so loving that MS punch with the hearts. Great detail! Have a wonderful day, hope you get your computer issues fixed. That stinks when you have to deal with that stuff. Hugs, Dena
Hi Linda, lovely card, the colours are so pretty.

Hi Linda, you want to get David to instal Mozilla Firefox, I think everyone is having problems with Internet Explorer, even I do, and Firefox is a lot more reliable.
I love your Penny Black image its gorgeous, and the details youve put around him is beautiful. WEll done with love and hugs Shirleyxxxx
A beautiful card, I love those Penny Black hedgies too, this one is darling! Love how you did your ribbon. Sorry you've been having problems, I think a few people have, and the follower thing, I think maybe that's on bloggers side, I've been seeing it disappear and come back for the last few days. You'll do great arranging flowers, how fun! ~Hugs

Fabulous Linda, it's such a pretty card! Love what you have done with the ribbons

Hi Linda
Well done on enrolling on your course.
I think you will love it - especially as it is something you have wanted to do for a while.
You were perhaps anxious about starting on your own and now your friend is going to be with you that makes you feel more comfortable.
I am one of these people who believes that if you really want to do something then you should "give it a go" - you never know where it might lead.
I hope we get to see some of your arrangements on your blog .. .. alongside your craft creations.
Good luck with it all.
Have fun.
Love Jules xx
Your never going to guess Ive also left you this award on my blog. with love and hugs Shirleyxxx
Hey Linda! Sorry I've not been in touch again I am having a bad week with my ME. My mojo has vanished too which doesn't help!!
Hope you get your 'puter fixed. I'm on Firefox so I don't really get any problems with anything, maybe try that?
Congratulations on winning Angie's blog candy. I have ordered som bits to do one!
Good luck with the floristry course I'm sure you'll be great at it x x
forgot to put how sweet your card is & your mojo is still looking good from here!!

What a wonderful card Linda, I adore this PB hedgehog too!
I installed Firefox this morning and I have been able to get on your blog ok...and I am leaving this comment using Firefox. It seems much quicker than IE8...may be worth you installing it too.
Have a great day.
