Thursday 9th October

It's Papertake Weekly Ist Birthday so there's two challenges, one of which is no stamping and these fabulous poinsettias arrived from Poppicrafts this week and an idea was hatched. The words were found on a card forum and printed out and then it is was simply matting and layering, the pattern paper is Craftwork cards, the gold ribbon is out of my stash. But it was hard not to do any stamping I so wanted to used the swirling holly stamp to border the words.
Nothing much happening here, Mum is comfortable but for some reason they like moving her to different wards, she going to be moved to her third ward today.

Oh Debby this is so classy, I adore it all, especially those fab flowers from Popicrafts. Poor Mum it is so unsettling for them when they get older to keep changing their surroundings, hope they leave her be now
Hugs to you both

Thanks for expressing your ideas on this blog. In addition, a fable regarding the finance institutions intentions while talking about foreclosed is that the standard bank will not have my repayments. There is a degree of time that this bank will need payments occasionally. If you are way too deep within the hole, they may commonly call that you pay the actual payment fully. However, that doesn't mean that they will not take any sort of repayments at all. In case you and the standard bank can be capable to work a thing out, your foreclosure course of action may cease. However, in case you continue to neglect payments within the new approach, the foreclosed process can pick up exactly where it left off.
