You're A Star!

Hello ...
I woke up this morning to the sound of a woodpecker hammering away ... I had totally forgotten about him ... he frequented my garden all last year ... From Springtime onwards ... So I was happy to hear him telling me that Spring is definitely close by ... The daffodils have just started to open too ... Such pretty cheerful flowers ... in Lincoln there were hundred of snowdrops everywhere ... I never fail to be amazed at how such delicate flowers can force their way through the hardest of ground ...

I made a little card for a blog friend who has be so kind ... My card may be made of scraps but it holds a whole lot of love and thanks


The only 'new' thing on here was the blingy key and the pearls ... the resin rose had been used before on something and I took it off because it just didn't look right on the card I was doing at the time ...


I like it here ... It started life as an earring ... and the silver 'petals' were part of a swap gift sent to me years ago by Lynnda Hosni... 


It's a beautiful sunny day ... but chilly! DH is going to the football match and I get time to play ... 
This evening we are going to a concert at the Philharmonic ... one of my friends sings in a choir and they are performing 'Songs from the Musicals" I'm looking forward to it ...

Enjoy your weekend and keep safe

Thanks for stopping by

Beautiful, Ros. I love your layout, and the key looks really pretty!
Isn't it uplifting to see some blue sky and sunshine? We have had such a long dismal winter here in the UK. Enjoy your evening and weekend x
