A perfect day.

Good morning all you lovely crafters, hope you all had a super hot weekend. I could really get used to this temperature, if only I could give up work......ahhh... dream on!!!
 
I went to visit a client yesterday morning at home as she's had a fall and can't get out and afterwards called on a friend I hadn't seen for a while and had a coffee with her and a catch up, it was lovely.
 
When I got home my daughter had decided it was too hot just to sit in the garden and would be much cooler in a paddling pool. So off she went to buy one and when I arrived she had filled it and was laid in it, complete with designer bikini , she's 22 lol... OMG, do they ever grow up, she's only  petite and it looked so funny. Her friend (ex boyfriend)  arrived then and they had a water fight, he, complete with clothes n all, it was lovely to hear them giggling and having fun.
 
We then ordered pizzas so no cooking for me either, why can't every day be like this one I ask myself!!
I even managed to get in some crafting too, perfect.
Think I overdid it with the embellies, once I start I can't stop. No CAS in this house lols.

    Oh how refreshing to meet a fellow "embellishment embellisher." There is NEVER such a thing as too much! Less is not more, MORE is more! Wonderful job on this card and I loved looking at all the sweet lovelies you added, both inside and out! Thanks so much for joining us at A Gem of a Challenge this week!

    OMGOSH SUE!!!
    I find this utterly beautiful! When I saw it amongst the entries my jaw dropped to the floor. I could have chosen the shabby chic theme just as well as Kathrin since its a style I find soooo amazing and very close to my heart! This sure is shabby, from the gorge soft coloring to the amazing papers, layout and design! Loooooove it!

    Thank you so much for joining us at MDUC this week :)
    Welcome back!
    Hugs, Louise
