Slow return to normal . . . . . . .

I had to make two birthday cards for family birthdays this month. Having struggled to create a Valentine's card for DH, I was hoping that I wouldn't struggle so much to make the birthday cards. Now in an ideal world they would already have been made and posted by now but, as you can see from last week's posting - it isn't an ideal world!

I like to be organized and work best when I have a deadline - so on Friday morning I decided that by the end of the day I had to have made 5 cards - 3 birthday and 2 thank you cards. I had an appointment with the assessor (for the chimney fire) so I planned that I would have at least one card finished before he arrived.

Despite constant interruptions (DH working from home, DS finishing school early and the assessor being late) I managed, somehow to meet my self imposed challenge (could this be a new way of working??)

The birthday cards:





















Tomorrow I will show you the thank you cards.


Until the next time.
