An Anniversary and a challenge
Last weekend we celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary by spending the weekend in London. I contacted the hotel beforehand to ask if they offered any sort of upgrade, and they definitely did. We were upgraded to a deluxe room, which was huge with a lovely sofa, a Nespresso machine and lovely toiletries and in the room was an anniversary card with a plate of macarons. Sorry, no photo as we ate them! On Saturday we were out for the day, and when we got back to the hotel, we found this in our room.
Today Scrappy has been here and we had a great day with no sewing, lots of chatting and some fabric stroking. I had a bag of scraps to give her, and Scrappy wasted no time in tipping it out to see what was in there and to fold and stroke it all. There was this little piece of orange in there, and she was thinking it might be too small, even for her and was going to throw it away, so I've challenged her to use it. I can't wait to see what she does with it. With friends like me, who needs enemies?

Hey Scrappy...over here...shh! Don't let Sue hear this...Snowman Noses! Put that little bit on fusible and cut out as many snowman noses as you can get...and don't forget...tell Sue nothing...you didn't hear it from me!
ReplyDeleteOh! Hi Sue! HAPPY ANNIVESARY! I got dipped strawberries for Valentines Day! Chocolate and Pretty Pink ones!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! LOL Love Nancy Anne's secret message. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend! As for that scrap of orange, I think Ms. Scrappy has a bit of a challenge ahead of her!
ReplyDeletePsssss. Nancie! It's okay, Sue's not listening. Thanks for the great idea. A thought popped straight into my head when Sue challenged me, but if it doesn't work out, I've got snowmen to fall back on! xx
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you come up with! She calls me "Naughty", but you and I both know who the real naughty one is!
DeleteQuilters are indeed the craziest people! Happy anniversary to you, Sue!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary. It sounds like it was a wonderful stay.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Maybe when I have been married that many years I will get to go to a nice Hotel. I guess at least I didn't get McDonald's drive thru! I have lots of ideas for scrappy for that orange bit.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Sue!
ReplyDeleteDid you save a strawberry for me?
ReplyDeletehappy anniversary! Glad to hear/see you had a lovely time
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations, glad you had such a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI *love* that card - must firtle around online and see if I can find one. 25 years for us this year (yikes, how on earth did that happen) plus a big b/day with a Zero for Management.
Happy Anniverary ! how lovely to receive such nice treats!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! Glad that you had such a nice weekend with such tasty treats! Love the challenge idea. Can't wait to see what Scrappy does with the orange scrap.
ReplyDeleteHave a super great sewing and stitching day!!
Happy belated Anniversary, sounds like it was a very special weekend indeed!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you and hubby!! What a special weekend! WOW!!
ReplyDelete48 years is quite an accomplishment! Hey...You must have been only 10yrs old when you got married!
48 years is great! And you still look 35! I've been telling people I am 35 for so long that I am even starting to believe it now. Love the idea of the orange fabric challenge. Sounds like a fun thing to do at my next retreat.
ReplyDeleteHappy 48th Anniversary !!! what a wonderful anniversary weekend you both had :-D
ReplyDeleteAww shucks! Look at all this love...from all around the globe...what a lucky girl you are! XOXOXO!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, wow you are doing well. Hope the London stay was just great. It's our 38th this year, but then we were both married before. Those strawberries look great, but I'll tell you, they are rather bothersome to do. Chocolate gets everywhere, but is good to lick your fingers.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, it all looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow. 48 years! Congrats.
