Felt Poinsettia Card

Good Evening all I was going to wait and post this card tomorrow morning but I have got an early start so don't think I will have time.  So this will be my third post today.  Please scroll down and check out the others.  

I was off last Thursday and Friday so went into work Monday knowing there would be a lot of work to catch up on (and there was!!) but then one of the receptionists called in sick so I had to keep going downstairs to cover breaks, lunch etc.  Tuesday she was still off sick so I ended up being on reception all morning.  When I left Tuesday night there was tons of dictation to catch up on, as well as my admin work.  My day off is Wednesday so I am dreading going in tomorrow to loads more work.  Oh well I can only go as fast as I can, I'll catch up eventually.

Here's another of the Christmas cards I made today.


It seems a bit bare to me.  Does it need a sentiment (or something else)?

Retirement Card

Good Afternoon all. Seems an age since I was last here.   What have I been up to, not too much really just been really tired after work.  Oh I came home from work on Thursday to no electricity, it was pitch black so had to find torches and candles with just the light from my phone.  All the neighbours seemed to have their electricity so thought it was just us.  Then next door neighbour came around to say theirs had gone off too.  Apparently it went off at 10.30 Thursday morning, my neighbour called the electricity board and they provided them with a generator but couldn't do anything until we were home.  We phoned and they brought us a generator too.  Then they had to come back Friday to repair the fault which was in my neighbours garden.  Had to ask my dear dad to come and sit in while it was fixed so he arrived at 7.30am Friday morning.  Would you believe they were still here when I got home from work at 5.30.  A second team turned up and worked right through until 11.05pm when finally we got electric back, 37 hours !!.  You should see the state of next doors garden, well its just a hole!!  Still waiting for a different team to come and fill it in again.


Anyway enough of my blethering.  I am going to a retirement party on Saturday for one of the GPs at work.  So I have made this card for him. 

Digi Stamp - Just Inklined - Albert
Coloured with Promarkers
Sentiment on computer - Morpheus font
