I've got the little man here to keep me company today ...... there's only one more week left of the school holidays. That six weeks has flown by!! Luckily he's looking forward to starting junior school.
He's had a great summer break I think ...... he's been here there and everywhere. The beauty of this island is there's always something going on .... somewhere.
He even managed to grab a quick photo with the great John McGuinness, who's back on the island for the MGP/Classic TT.
Dare I say, the weather has improved, and racing has finally got underway. You can see just how misty its been though, from the photo above.
Alex also had a couple of birthday parties to go to while he's been on holiday, and guess who got the job of making the cards?
Funnily enough I don't do a lot of kids cards so there were none in my stash (note to self ..... add childrens cards to the to do list!)
Here's what we came up with though .......
As one party was up at the Wildlife Park, that was my starting point.
I've had these stamps forever and they'd never been used. They're old Creative Expressions Designs called Jungle Friends and Monkeying Around ....... I had great fun playing around with these, as you can see ......
Lots of die cut apertures ........ various stamped and coloured jungle friends
A little extra foliage here and there and a few ink spaltters .....
And more on the insides too .....
I even decorated the envelopes ......
Oh well .... must dash I've got a lot to do. Hubby is on his way home ....... Whoo Hoo!!
He's left Melbourne a day early. They managed to get everything done that needed to be done work wise, so he changed his flights home by 24 hours.
He's currently on a plane to Dubai .... and it's around half past midnight I think, Melbourne time (3.30pm here in the IOM). Then, it's Dubai to Manchester, leaving Dubai in the early hours, and finally Manchester to Isle of Man, hopefully arriving on home soil around 3pm tomorrow, assuming there's no delays. It's a heck of a journey, even in Business Class ..... jet lag is going to be fun!
Looking forward to having him home though.
Thanks for popping by .... enjoy the rest of your day.
Cheerio until next time .....

It's always lovely to see that handsome little man! As for the cards for the kids, all I can see is you are a sorceress, Linda! How you can go from "hmmmm, what should we do" to these two perfect fun and colorful designs is nothing short of magic! The kids will have a ball with all the openings and cute critters!! Enjoy the big man being home again!! Hugs, Darnell
Your cards are fabulous. Love the designs and wonderful coloring.
Such fun and creative kids birthday cards with clever apertures for all the critters to peek out of at the kids peeking in:-) You will have to celebrate your DH home coming. TFS Linda. Hugs...
