All for a good cause

Morning folks....by the time you are reading this.....that is if Mr Blogger has decided not to have a "throwing his toys out of the pram" tantrum...I will be at the airport tucking into a croissant and coffee waiting to board my BA flight to Heathrow...whisking us off for a three day girlie away trip to that hallowed place so beloved of all tennis fans...did I mention I am off to Wimbledon and fingers crossed for some cracking tennis and a chance maybe to watch my hero...the gorgeous and mega talented Mr Federer and I'm also a bit partial to "el bastante delicioso" Senor Nadal.   Sunscreen...aftersun and sun shades packed.....don't want to end up looking any more dried up and wrinkly than I am already....so keep your eyes peeled on Friday if you are watching the action unfold on TV...you may just spot this old gal with her oh so silly hat on.
But onto the important news as promised yesterday.....
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON SATURDAY... 3RD JULY
my lovely friend Jacqui from Simply Create is hosting a very special day for all us crafty souls in the North East of Scotland.....in fact for you all....if you want to make the journey to this beautiful...but a bit chilly sometimes...part of the world....just pack plenty of warm sweaters.....I just know it will be a real fun day....
Sales Table...all proceeds going to Save the Children
Make and Take....a small donation appreciated
Tea and Coffee as always
Entry fee £10 (lunch included as usual) 
with 20% of door ticket going to Save the Children
a chance to meet up with lots of lovely crafty friends...relieve yourself of some crafty cash and do your bit for this very worthwhile cause....helping to alleviate the suffering of unfortunate children across the world.   Will I see you there.....I do hope so.
And for those of you who live too far away.....you can join in the fun too....Jacqui has set us  
A CHALLENGE IN AID OF SAVE THE CHILDREN
with 3 prizes of a £50 voucher to spend in the shop and if you aren't able to attend.... Jacqui will post £50 of goods to the lucky winners...so all you super duper crafty bloggers out there...what are you waiting for...I know we can rely on you all you to join in and help raise loads of money....you will find all the details HERE.....and I managed to make some quick and easy cards for the challenge with the bits and pieces that were on my workdesk yesterday...whilst sitting in the garden enjoying the sunshine...3 days of sun in a row....crikey we're heading for a World Record.



I have a sneaky feeling that you may have a visit from the Golden Delicious One tomorrow....he is panting with excitement about a yummy parcel that arrived for him this week.   He's been a bit of a grumph....the minute he sees the suitcase he goes into sulky mode....do you really think he would go down well at Wimbledon...causing havoc by running down every ball....and the poor umpire to have a heart attack....oh dear the embarrassment of being escorted out of Centre Court  by two burly security guards with a naughty dog in tow....in front of millions of viewers and I bet that would make front page headlines and News At Ten.
Catch up with you all when I get back.
Hugs Kath xxx

  11. Kath, I've been watching for you all day ~ I've seen the Queen, Mr. F and the yummy Rafa. The conclusion of the never ending 11hr 5 min. match, 70-68 in the 5th set for heaven's sake! However, I haven't seen YOU! Hope that you are having a marvelous time with lots of strawberries and cream.
