Hope

edited new photo not so much yellow now

Oh dear I had to take the photo with the electric light on, will have to take a new pic when its the day lighters up. I'm quite please how this turned out since I haven't made a card for several days and previously Mr Mojo had left.
But I decided to use the latest sketch on Sweet Sketch Wednesday and just go with using all the things I love, well the MFT crochet border. The papers are Kaiser not sure which one down to few pages left and I also used Kraft card. The swirl is also MFT and the flowers out of stash.
The image is from Sylvia Zet called Hope.
We had a fabulous New Year in Bath although the weather could have been better and I wouldn't recommend the Hilton Hotel, strange but my Sister and I have been to a few due to Scrapbooking retreats admittedly not since 2008 and they were fabulous.
For example we had to upgrade cos there was no basic rooms but what they meant as a upgrade was a larger bed in basic room well I've seen larger rooms in a budget hotels and the quilt fitted from one edge to the other with no run off if you know what I mean. Wasn't impressed when hubby woke me up in middle of night asking where was the quilt I told him to crawl to the middle he may find it.
I'm also thankful that we are early risers cos I wouldn't have like to queue for 20 minutes plus for what is a buffet breakfast! But at the end of the day you have to make the best you can there were a few other things that only confirmed we won't be going there next year.

Sorry to hear about the disappointing hotel. My DH is so picky about the room...it ruins his holiday if the room is disappointing...the quilt story was a good chuckle...think the housekeeper needed a bit of training...
