A True Friend.............

No apologies for another fabric card today - this is another image from some of the new Loralie fabric I tracked down on Ebay. I turned it into an easel card, added lots of stitching and an Inkadinkadoo sentiment.











If this is your first visit to my blog and you haven't used fabric on cards, scroll down to labels and click on the tutorial.
Well you won't believe what happened yesterday, yes, at Dunkin Donuts. I was sitting in the sunshine, reading a magazine, two women were at the next table. Up drove a sheriff's car, I thought he had come for the free coffee that the cops are allegedly given. No, he was there by appointment with these two women, sat down and started interviewing them - in a loud voice and in full view of everyone, it was like an episode of Miami Vice. Apparently the husband of one of them had tried to strangle her with the car safety belt on saturday night. So there she was, weeping and showing her bruises (quite nasty they were, well, you didn't think I was going to carry on reading with all that drama going on did you? No, I was pretending to read, but behind my sunglasses my eyes were fixed on the wailing woman). I'm going off that place a bit, I seem to be the only normal person who goes there.
Today is our little Milo's first birthday. Happy birthday sweetheart. xxx

  2. Intersting image, lovely card, great sentiment. You seem to draw all these strange happenings, don't you? I don't believe that Dunkin' Donuts is the cause...

  15. Wow En! Love your stitching on this one and all of the pink and black you've been using lately. Definitely a fave color combo of mine. I still have my Loralie fabric tucked away in the drawer that I bought because of all of your fabulous cards. Gotta pull it out and play. And that reminds me. I have yet to use any of her fabulous stamps I bought at CHA. Thanks for reminding me! Love this! xxD

  17. OH Enfys..I don't know what to tell you about this Dunkin Donuts! LOL! I am almost afraid to go to a DD shop! The closest one is quite a ways away!

  18. What a wonderful card! I feel sooo like one of those ladies!
    Normal huh? You really think you're normal? I'm told that those of us who think we're normal, are the ones who aren't so normal after all...What do you think?... Still normal huh... me too!
    Anyway, I have a quiet life unless my mother act's up. So maybe I should go spend some time a DD's to get a little liveliness! lol, at least you can just turn it off when you leave. As long as it doesn't follow me home I'm happy.
    Happy Birthday Milo!!!! I hope you have a great day!

  23. Oh En, how do these weird folk find you? I had a weird one today too. So, I'm driving home and this guy is in the middle of the street staring at the man-hole cover. As I negotiate my car around him, he yells at me! Gee, sorry to drive in the street when you're inspecting the man-hole cover. By the way, he was not a city employee or anything... I just love your Loralie card. Those gals look like they're having a great time. Happy, happy to Milo too. Thanks, Pam

  27. That is the cutest card. They are such happy friends.

    I'm not sure how you seem to draw these 'unusual' people to you, but at least it gives you something to do in your spare time?
