Edwin and Flowers


Good morning fellow bloggers and welcome from chilly New Zealand.  Yes we're having one of our coldest winters for a very long time.  For me it's cold but I know for a lot of you, you'll be thinking she's a softie I know as a lot of you get it a lot colder than we do.  I've been waking up to heavy frosts and -4c in the last few morning but we've had amazing sunny days in the sunshine but cold in the shade.  I think it's mother natures way of preparing me for winter in England and Europe when we leave here in December and will be away for the whole of December and January.

This is a really gorgeous card, and I love the matching inside too!

My mum was born in New Zealand, and she often mentions Christmas on the beach. She neglected to mention mild winters though! Probably she doesn't want me to pack up her grandkids and move to the other side of the world, lol. x

Oh my, Kathie! This is beautiful! Love your papers that you have used with this fun image! I love your Cherish ticket sentiment too! I have this Edwin and Hetty set too and need to use it soon! I'm with you...I don't do well in the cold and -4c is way too cold for me. We have been having a warm spell and I am loving it. Not looking forward to fall and winter but I know it will be here before I know it! Have a great day!
Hugs, Judi

OK, I'm going to give this one to you ... -4 C. IS a bit cold!! Personally when it gets anywhere below 20 F. I get cranky. Sadly, I am "cranky" quite a bit here in Colorado winters. I had to laugh because you are getting whammied -- TWO winters this year! But how fabulous, 2 months in England will be fabulous. Seriously jealous! Your card is fantastic. Love the peach papers and that darling Edward image!
