A new year begins

Posted by Unknown
So we set off in Ruth’s little red car to our first voluntary craft expedition of 2011 – the forecast was ice and snow!  The temperature started off at a nice warm 2C, then as we drew near to our destination: 1C…0C…-0C, sleet turned to snow, snow landed softly on the green hills, the road remained nicely wet…we made it! But would we stay? Should we lunch and return? However, we were authoritatively informed that the snow would stop at 1pm – and it did! Happily we worked into the afternoon as our guys produced lovely decoupaged Dufex craft cards, and we returned home safely.
Hopefully, Ruth should be a lot warmer soon as she jets off to sunnier climes in the near future.
MaryNSC has been a staunch encourager of our crafty exploits and we were delighted to receive a Christmas card from her with tartan. Well done that girl.  One of the guys photographed us in our new (warm!) corporate colours that we wear when representing Craft & Chat.

You are both to be congratulated on your intrepidness; is there such a word? I'd have fled at the first flake given the snow that you've had recently! Are you making any videos before Ruth goes off to follow the sun (I am green with envy, natch)? I'm going to try and replace your badge with the new one on my blog - listen out for my scream when I muck it up - in about 5 mins, lol.Hugs, Hazel x

Hazel - no video time to film but there might be one tucked up my lens. Like you I wish I was going to the sun too. I'm listening - do I hear a scream echo round the ether? - nope, you're technocompetent, I've just checked your blog - well done!

I like your new corporate colors. :) Glad you braved the snow. We get a lot of it here in Fargo, ND--hehe! I took some pictures--we had two blizzards in a row right before New Year's Day. ;)

That card looks cute from Mary. :)
