Tag and Photographs of cards and a robin
Hi All. I hope your week has gone well and that you are looking forward to the weekend. Today was the day my daughter and her husband were coming to stay with us, I even ordered sunshine, but unfortunately she has flu and sounded really poorly when she phoned Vic yesterday. Never mind there will be other times soon I'm sure.
I did create chaos as I tried to finish 60 cards for her to take back for the Cat Protection sale. She said Christmas cards always sell well any time of year so I did some of those and a few others as well. I work so much better when the place is in chaos though I am a tidy person really and love to see it all cleared away afterwards.
Chaos and cards
At Go Tag Thursday this week the theme is Stamps and you can use rubber stamps or postage stamps
This is a tag using used postage stamps with some of the envelope and also stamping on them with rubber stamps as well. Even the stamping by the post office is on show as well. All stuck onto a large tag.
On Wednesday we went to Filey on the bus for a change. The bus we went on only runs at certain times of year and goes in and out of the coast so you get to see lots of lovely places along the way. I took too many photographs as usual so may show some another time but I did want you to see my friend the robin.
We walked up a beautiful ravine from the beach and the bird sounds and wild flowers were fantastic. This robin just wanted to be friendly so I stopped and chatted to it
It followed us all the way to the top of the ravine . At the top it was noisy and full of people as there is a park, cafe, shop and small boating lake. It went back down the ravine when we left to catch the bus back.
Vic took the last photos on his phone.
Have a great day all
Love Chrissie xx

I'm impressed that you are making all those cards! I hope you are having fun too. Like you, a actually work better with a little chaos, although I also like everything in its place so I can find it. Nothing worse than when I can't find something I "need". Love the robin. What a friendly guy. Hope your daughter is better soon. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWell done on the card marathon, I really should get down to making some, my box is nearly empty. Great idea for your tag. The robin photos are lovely, I love robins. Have a great weekend, I'm off to help my daughter in her aquatic shop.

What a darling little robin, and so friendly and trusting, thanks for sharing the lovely photos. Love your fun tag, and you were really busy with the cards, I love the chaos! Sorry Linda can't come, hope she is soon well again. Good that you had a nice day out. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYou've made a great job with the donate cards! What a clever stamp piece and I love the most cute robin. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend xx
Oh Chrissie I loved seeing your chaos, there was a fantastic amount of super cards for you daughter to take for her charity. I hope Linda feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteThe tag was brilliant and a good idea as well.
Your photos looked lovely and the Robin seemed so friendly.
Have a good weekend.

My blog is on meltdown. I got to your blog from Valerie's. Right now I'm a mess, but I am SO grateful you visited.
ReplyDeleteI have trouble creating in chaos, and right now that's what my floor looks like, too. OK, not with cards, but stuff I'm sorting and trying to find places for.
That's a fabulous tag. AND, the postage stamps are the ultimate recycling fodder, too.
LOVE the bird, and the story, too. I couldn't believe that bird was so tame. Here, they would fly away at the sight of a human.
I'm so impressed at your productivity! No wonder you have the satisfaction of a job well done after the clear up! I bet the robin will appear on a Christmas make very soon...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you explained the chaos on your floor - I thought you had been burgled!!! He! he!!
ReplyDeleteI do know what you mean - sometimes it's best just to keep going!! I love your tag - a clever idea! Your little robin friend looks so friendly! Hugs, Chrisx
