The schools were back open, so I was able to potter up into the village and have a little wander in the fruit & veg shops, gift shop & local Co-Op.
I say wander, more like slip & slide, as the council have failed to grit the paths - I wouldn't mind if Duncan James were holding onto me, and whizzing me about, but a bruised backside is not for me....
I bought this lovely card - oh how I love tulips....
And I picked up these tete-a-tete @ £1.10 each - perfect as a thankyou to those who have helped me through this week. They just need presenting a little better....
So out come the raffia, bright stripey green paper, string, tags & a little bit of patience....
I cut a large square, and a similar size one of cellophane, so as the bulbs can be watered without removing from the wrapping....
And sort of wrestled & folded till it looked presentable - I used an elastic band to hold it all fast, having realised that I didn't have enough pairs of hands, to rely on raffia alone....
Into one of them, I nestled this lovely metal tag ....
Ta -da!
Two thankyou gifts for two special people, who helped stop me from drowning this week with the snow/work/school palavers....
And I'd like to say thankyou to all who have visited my blog on this, my first week in blogland & sneeked a peek. Especially to those who have been so kind as to comment & welcome me....
Thankyou all Sooo Much....
Love from Lydia xx
Hi Lydia, Thanks for saying hello on my blog. I think you could be right about Mr. Tumnus praying for more snow so his little bits stay attached!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm I am not sure about interesting topics but I sure can waffle on!
Off to have a look round your blog - love your thank you bulbs - they look gorgeous.
