This week I dog-sat Olive the baby whippet........
The sun shone........
Spring began to spring......
'People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.'

Top tip: homemade cards are the thought that counts....... we are all only ever 10' away from a Pritt Stick.
Lovely card. I agree that homemade cards are the best.
ReplyDeleteI did A Level art so, many a homemade card has been fashioned by me !!
ReplyDeleteLove yours ......... and, I'm sure that your mum will love it too.
Shame that the little slice of Spring we had will be replaced by flurries of snow in the next few days !!!!
Top ti: Don't put away one's winter clobber before one is sure that Spring is here !!!! haha XXXX
That was meant to be Top tip not Top ti !!!!

The sun shone and got me out in the garden today.
ReplyDeleteTop tip - start slowly when your muscles are over 50 years old.
Great card!
Fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about your top tip. Why then, I am wondering to myself, do I buy so many, and yet when I need one, can never find it?
ReplyDeleteSweet Whippet puppy. I want to hug him! And your card is lovely, and because homemade.. (i agree they are the BEST,) perfect for its recipient. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely spring pictures, love the card (did you have to eat a tunnocks marshmallow to make it - if so even better!) and that whippet is just gorgeous! Julie x
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet baby * ♥ * * ♥ * I agree home made cards are the best, yours is fab by the way. Have a great weekend x
ReplyDeleteGreat card! Is that an old photo of your Ma on the front, or just a picture? Have a good weekend! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely baby whippet. The card is great too. My daughter is in her second year of art college, so I hope she makes me cards like that someday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet sweet puppy! Did you have fun with him?
ReplyDeleteI love the homemade card idea, you've inspired me to do the same for Mother's Day! (yay art school)
Sadly spring did not spring for long! Your homemade card is gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteI love Olive and that gorgeous card, you clever lady! Where's spring gone? It's snowing here! x
ReplyDeleteOlive is adorable!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSpring was here, but now the winter has returned. I'm freezing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card.
Love the card! I need Olive! Yep Spring arrived, then disappeared as quickly as it came! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat card is so beautiful, is it a collage or did you paint it? You need to put in one post all the things you've done, art student, then stylist, then? OLive has great taste what with that fluro collar
ReplyDeleteI adore the card and the dog is so cute! Have a great day, darling.
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful of you to make your own card :)
ReplyDeleteI have been away from the Pritt stick even though it's a glance away...
Great card--for which I notice you had to undergo the great self-sacrifice of eating a Tunnocks teacake! Oh, the strain of these occasions!
ReplyDeleteGood quote from The Big Man as well.
How cute is Olive! hehe...I loved your 'designed' card....very special indeed.
ReplyDeleteI did notice the Tunnocks tea cake wrap, my self...Are you partial? ~Take time to dream....Maria x
A great post, lovely photos and what a fab mothers day card, you have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteNot wasted indeed, that's a lovely piece of art. And your mom is knock-out.
ReplyDeletesweet baby dog, awww.
