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
Hi Enfys...first off, your rendition of the donut shop was hilarious...although somewhat sad too...Your card is ABSOLUTELY hilarious...love that image...You are too funny...Also...had to comment...Happy B'day to Milo...and the rest of your grandchildren are the most beautiful children ever...I know you must enjoy them :)
ReplyDeleteIntersting 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...
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny story about the policeman interviewing the lady and your ease-dropping.
ReplyDeleteYour card is just adorable!
And, happy birthday to Milo!!!
Good morning Enfys, wow you had a fascinating day yesterday! you never know you might be on crime watch! loving your cards since my last visit, they are all fabulous.

So funny. I can't decide if it would be a blast to follow you around all day or very scary! Hope this day is a great one.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card like always.
ReplyDeleteYou must return to the DD, with your hubby for protection of course. The stories are just to interesting. I hope the poor dear is OK and her hubby is... well what every you do to men that do that.
I love this En. These new loralies are fabulous. I had a full day of mourning when the shopping ladies disappeared from ebay! Great find, great card. It would be awful to miss these hilarious stories from DD! Please hang in there at least for a bit longer. hugs, eileen
ReplyDeleteEnfys,
ReplyDeleteI love the card. Very, very cute!
You crack me up.... You are very gifted both in crafting and writing. Like I said before, you should write an anecdotal book!
Happy Birthday to Milo!!! Such a cute age :)
ReplyDeleteLove the card, those ladies are adorable!!

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
ReplyDeleteFab fun card En,
ReplyDeleteFab fun post!
Happy birthday to your little one!

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!
ReplyDeleteNow your card is absolutely stunning!!!! I love the fabric images, and can't wait to make a card out of the ones you sent me!!! You rock Enfys!!!
Happy Birthday MILO!!!!!!!!
Donut Hugs!
Lisa :)
What a wonderful card! I feel sooo like one of those ladies!
ReplyDeleteNormal 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!
Love today's card. Yes, I would have to agree, it's time to find
ReplyDeleteanother place for your coffee fix.
(That poor woman, I hope she gets
away from the crazy boyfriend.)
Happy Birthday to Milo!!!! :D
Hugs,
Maryellen

ReplyDeleteGreat DD story.
ReplyDeleteI love reading about your days.
Happy Birthday to Milo.
Grand babies are the best.
You card is great.
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
ReplyDeleteOh how strange that you should put out this fabric card now...I just ordered some Lorelie fabric last week! I'm so excited to get it. Your donut story is hilarious. Your stories top anything on Laugh In!
ReplyDeleteAnother great card. Love that sentiment.
ReplyDeleteYou have the strangest things happen to you, never know when you will run into some odd situation or overhear something like that. Poor woman, hopefully she will leave that creep!
Enfys,
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to hunt down this fabric. I do so love these cards. Another great job. Happy birthday to the grandson. You are goint to have to find another place to hang out.
That is the cutest card. They are such happy friends.
ReplyDeleteI'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?
Wow, I need to find a Dunkin' Donuts to hang out at! You have all the fun.
ReplyDeleteBarb
