Good morning. It is so cold at the moment, which is exactly what the weather forecast said and how right they are. It was -3 degrees until lunchtime yesterday with little snow flurries then warmed up slightly. But it's lovely to see the snowdrops appearing everywhere.

One of the ladies who attends our WI Craft and Laugh group has seemed a bit low of late and so I decided to make her this card hoping to cheer her up. She actually burst into tears when I gave it to her but was really so thankful that somebody had noticed and cared enough to do something. It just shows that such a small gesture can have such a huge impact.
Some years ago I made a lot of art deco cards because I just love the images of these ladies in their beautiful gowns. I think I would have loved to live in this era. When I saw this image in the Hunkydory Little Book I just had to use it.
Well that's it for today. Hope you are all well and for those feeling a bit under the weather then I hope you are soon back to top form.
Take care.
Morning Christine,
