Cup Of Tea?

Well good afternoon dear friends and fellow bloggers.  Thank you for your visit. I'm getting a bit sick of talking about the weather but the rain and gales are really getting to be a pain. Unfortunately, although John thought he had solved the problem that is not the case.  The baking trays will be staying out for some time yet!  Rain must be coming in the dining room too because the parquet tiles are starting to lift under the patio window. You can see the dampness on the tiles there but there is absolutely no way we can find where it is coming in.  It is farther along on the same outside wall as the kitchen. We have had to move the dining table to make sure we don't stand on them and break them.  No point trying to fix them till we fix the cause! The next step is checking out the roof, but that will have to wait until the better weather. We started to build the house the year after we were married and that was back in 1973 so it is obviously suffering from old age and needs some looking at, poor old thing.  The gales also ripped the guttering off the front of the house and part of the roof from one of the outbuildings.  Oh what fun!!!

Anyway I disappeared into my craft room this morning and closed the blinds on the awful weather.

My Card

My card is 7" x 5" and matted with blue pearlescent card. The backing papers are from the LOTV "Petal Fresh" pad and were bits from my snippets box. The topper is also LOTV matted onto SB Labels 16. The gingham ribbon is from my stash as are the blue pearly flowers.  The blue flower and leaves were also in my drawer, obviously meant for something else and not used. The sentiment is JustRite Stamps "Grand Sentiments".

Hope you are all holding up under these awful conditions.  I shouldn't really be grumbling because it is heartbreaking when you see all these poor people on the news.

The weekend is just about here so I hope you have plans - which include some crafting!!
