Good morning everyone...I need a cyber hug this morning, our Daughter is off on her trip and I hardly slept last night worrying about her...isn't that terrible seriously, Mina get a grip girl shes 28 I say to myself but it doesn't make any difference whatsoever and I wont settle today until I know she is there safely, settled in and has her first day training behind her...how soppy is that next thing I will be wanting to arrive in the hotel to tuck her in lol...the thing is she would be so embarrassed if she knew this was how I felt as she is so independent and left home about 6 years ago...she would be the one telling me to get a grip...so I'm not sure if I need a hug or a good shake lol...well I managed to get a hair appointment yesterday and my busted sofa look has as last gone, instead I have a super short style very like Jamie Lee Curtis's short cut...every time my hairdresser finished she decided I would suit a little more off and I was ok with going for it...so super short it is and feels lovely and light and no I'm not showing you a photo I hate my photo taken and it gets worse the older I get lol...right now onto my card for today which is using one of my all time favourite digis from Sugar Nellie...shes from the Simply Adorables collection and is called Amber...she is amazing to colour like all the Adorable...I used my distress inks for her and teamed her up with papers from one of my new buys...I cant resist new paper pads and bought four this weekend from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...these papers are from the lush Kaisercraft - Needle & Thread 6.5"x6.5" Paper Pad, gorgeous aren't they...I finished by adding a few buttons and a pink checked ribbon bow from my stash...I made the sketch match the paper as I didn't want to hide the sentiment etc but I'm entering it for the Sparkle N Sprinkle challenge, Stamps+Fun=Creativity challenge and the Crafty Catz challenge too...I'm having a crafting morning then making dinner for the men in my life, Phil, Dad and our Daughters other half are all here for dinner...whatever your up to today give someone you love a hug it will do you both the power of good
