Box full of Roses

Hello Dear friends and followers.    Sorry I have been a really bad blogger this week,  and I'm not going to be around for the next 2 weeks either, although I will be able to answer posts etc.    Hope this beautiful weather lasts till we get back.   We bought a Scooter for Andrew today,   so now I shall have company on my walks, and go out for a meal to some of the lovely pubs and hotels around the place.     He had a good trial and a run around and by the looks of it,  I'll be the one that will need to be running to keep up with him.   Joking aside,  he will at least get out and about as he really is housebound most of the time.
Today's make is a box I made a while ago and now I really have filled it with hand made flowers.   The papers are from Craftwork Cards 8 X 8 Correspondence Pad.    I used pearls and flowers from my stash and the ribbon was bought some years ago.    Will keep in touch while I'm away.   So Take Care All of You.    Hugs Rita xxx

It will be so nice for Andrew not to be so housebound. The scooter sounds like a great way to spend time together walking and scootering!

Wow! Oh! Wow! I just LOVE your wonderful box.
The Roses on top are brilliant, what a great gift and to be filled with Roses what a bonus.
Have a wonderful time away, it will be so much better now Andrew has his scooter.
Much more fun being out together. Take it easy and don't be having "races" to see if Andrew trying to keep up with your walking speed or you trying to catch up with Andre!!!

Rita, this box is a triumph and what a beautiful way for you to store those gorgeous flowers you create.
It is lovely to read that Andrew is mobile with the aid of a scooter, allowing you both to enjoy more quality time together.
I hope the reason for your absence the next two weeks is because you are spending the time doing something wonderful.
Wishes to you
Lynne

As usual, so very beautiful. You must have a real stash of vintage lace, this is lovely. Your handmade flowers are always perfection, and what a wonderful way to store them. Have fun whatever you are doing, and so happy to hear that now you can have your DH with you as you do your day-to-day errands. TFS & Hugs

Hi Rita, thanks for your recent visit & sweet comment. Glad you are safely home again, and hope you're getting rested from your trip. Just saw that sweet cuddly bear over at Redanne's. It's a cutie, and I told her if I had it, he would be on my pillow sleeping with me every night. He looks _sooo_ soft! Take care. Hugs
