Pretty in Pink




Here is my card for the Lilli of the Valley "Pretty in Pink" monthly challenge.  I don't have a huge selection of their stamps but this one I really love and have used many times.  Hope this one is pink enough for the challenge!  I actually made it for my neighbour's birthday hence the french greeting!




Today has been busy getting things together ready for our departure on holiday.  More washing (unfortunately that means more ironing later - don't you just hate it!), suitcases out ready for the packing to begin, pedicure and manicure ready for the beach, then have been out in the garden trimming one of our trees which has put on far too much growth for its own good!, then into the polytunnel and weeded, fed the tomatoes and melons and pinched out all the growing tips to ensure some good size fruit all round!  Harvested today:- cornichons (gherkins), french beans, runner beans, peas, courgettes, chillis.  Still no tomatoes yet but at last they are starting to colour up - hooray!  We were getting concerned as they are so late in ripening this year and even though they are a good size and we have had some hot weather we haven't had one to eat yet!  I read somewhere to pick a few green ones to allow the others to develop and to stop watering for a day or two.  I did this and low and behold they have started to ripen.  Could be coincidence of course but I'm just glad they are on their way to ripening now - can't beat a freshly picked tommie warm and straight from the polytunnel!!

Enough of my meanderings for today.  Hope you are having a good day!
