I am preparing the house for our holiday leave in August. We rent out our house via a Dutch organization which means all the cupboards have to be empty etc..! I started a while ago with my preparations and am still busy. It obliges me to clean thoroughly too! I have fans on in the house, the shutters and windows are closed to keep out the heat and as I only have the afternoons, as I work in the mornings, I have to get on with it. A little unwinding in the craft room first though!!
Have a lovely day!
I love the scraps you've combined for your background piece, great autumn colors.
ReplyDelete(Can't imagine having to get my house ready for someone else to live in it... a somewhat daunting task. But there is a holiday for you at the end of it thankfully:)
you have such beautiful scrap papers! lovely card. Oh my goodness if I had to empty my cupboards it would take for ever !
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see that the heat has not stifled your lovely creativity! The card is gorgeous and you've inspired me to use up my scraps as well. I'm sorry you are having to do the heavy cleaning in the midst of a heatwave but I'm sure the satisfaction you'll feel when it's completed will be a blessing.
ReplyDeletebless you,

Your scraps are a thing of beauty, at least when your finished with them. Oh to have to empty my cupboards? I think I would leave th efood for them instead LOL. But I do hope you have a wonderful vacation and will have air conditioning!!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Love your style.
ReplyDeleteYour card is so feminine and gorgeous, Jacqueline. They keep getting beter and better! Love this!
ReplyDeleteLovely card Jacqueline. Love how the scraps all came together. Sounds a bit of a daunting job to clear out your cupboards but at least a once a year clean up is good.

Always a pleasure to see what you have made! Your style is so delicious! I am trying to learn it :)
ReplyDeleteLove the different papers here. Such a perfect match! Lovely work Jacqueline!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like just yesterday you were preparing for your trip LAST year! My, how time passes so quickly. Are you going to Spain again? I love to look at your pictures from your holidays; they are almost as pretty as your cards. Buon viaggio!
ReplyDeleteOh, Jacqueline, this is just lovely!!!!!!! Such soft colors, and a beautiful image!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful as always. I'm so sorry we don't make the trip to the south this year. This year it's a "stay at home" holiday. Uptil now the weather is fine here, so I don't mind that much. But if the weather turns bad, I will feel so sorry for myself. I hope you will enjoy your holiday!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, your scraps are certainly a lot more elegant than my scraps! This is so beautiful. It's always a treat to the eyes to visit your blog. And a treat to the soul as there is a special serenity here.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so beautiful. You have the prettiest of papers in your stash. TFS. Lynne M (thanks for your comment about how I tear paper - it is very random but sometimes I create gentle creases as a guide x)
ReplyDeleteIt is just so amazing how you can take your scrap papers and pull together such a beautiful, coordinated design! LOVELY!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jacqueline! What a gorgeous card! I love the soft, feminine colors and that truly special, tiny butterfly with the pearls!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by my blog during my recovery! I appreciate it! :-)
