More Bees

 Morning and time for the mid month post for the Birds/Bees/Butterflies/ATG  challenge at Stamping Sensations.

I went with Bees once again-surprise, surprise lol. I used a stamp set from The Graphic Fairy, a Bee cut from a Hero Arts die, sentiment cut from a p, paper and the background strips are recycled packaging from some jars of honey my Daughter bought me.

Blankie for Granddaughter

 I have been busy crocheting a blankie for my Granddaughter(16yrs lol) I made a few blankets when they were small and over the years but she asked if I would make one in pinks especially hot pink-so here it is-the hook I have had for absolute years and all the wool was bought from Home Bargains. Now eldest Granddaughter has asked for one for her dog so now halfway through that one too. It measures 30" square.

Polgons and Roses

 Hi and my second late card post is for the Polygons (yes I had to google it lol)challenge at Dragonfly Dreams, chosen by Alyson. I collapsed at the beginning of the month due to not sleeping, hardly eating and low blood pressure resulting in complete bed rest and plenty of fluids

So please bear with me while I catch up with commenting

  My card was made using inspiration from Alyson, using papers from Crafters Companion and a Tonic die-cut sentiment.
