And the lilac florals with the soft green is a gorgeous combo too. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More.<br /><br />How lovely that you managed to spend time with your family for Father's Day. These are certainly strange times and I love how your mind works, I shall ensure fluffy things spring into my mind more often. Working from home has kept me busy but, even for me who loves being at home, I'm beginning to experience cabin fever now. Lockdown is being eased but I'm still too anxious to go far.

Hope the crafting chased away that nasty collie dog and the melons too. I especially love the purple iris, it's gorgeous and the sentiment is a reflection of the times we live in right now.

Dan and those young'uns definitely inherited the dishy genes ... seems Kevin is proudly looking on! How lovely you got to see everyone ... even though it wasn't as snuggly close as you'd like. Gorgeous cards ... I love the bold black sentiment with the winked blooms, it's so CAS and striking. That N&T set is in my stash, though none of the sentiments has ever turned out as crisp as this. More practice required p'raps! Your framed iris is beautifully presented ... and what wonderful words to go with it ... I'm sending them right back to you :)! LYAMYESDMA ... LFTCNW! Big hugs and bisous, Anita :)<br /><br />PS Don't give those menfolk chocolate scented cologne ... they're irresistable enough (as you already know)!!

How...Such a cute picture of the men in the family! How great to see them again. We still haven't been able to see hubby's daughter & family, unfortunately. However, we count our blessings as we aren't stuck in a hospital or nursing home & cases are lower here than in a lot of places--but on the rise. I'm trying to stay sane, but constantly have to fight anger & depression--so much stupidity & selfishness! OK--done ranting. I do love your cards, Darnell! That is one cool sentiment on the first card & a beautiful way to use the floral die cut!

The sentiment stamp is really cool - I've never seen that before. Crafting at the moment is a god send for me. As a pharmacy assistant, things have been quite 'hellish' over the last few months. To come home, switch off my brain, and colour or stamp is like a holiday :) Thanks for playing along at Less is More xxKyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15519123413867091041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-44601803426990598222020-06-27T16:39:20.759-07:002020-06-27T16:39:20.759-07:00Yes, crafting and/or coloring can be a great distr...Yes, crafting and/or coloring can be a great distraction, Darnell, and when it results in a twofer, all the better. I love the winked arrangement and thanks for sharing that one at Addicted to CAS. The PTI frame was a perfect spot for the lovely iris. Looks like handsomeness runs in the family. So glad you could get together - at a distance.

I'm not surprised you felt a little melon collie when they'd left and am glad you have your She Shed to distract you. I love your pretty card with its flowers and that fabulous offset sentiment. I shall look out for that set. Love the way you turned the PTI die on its side for the iris card too - and that's another great sentiment there!<br /><br />'I want to say...' is about 'one side of my brain is urging me to say this but the other side is telling me it is inaccurate' isn't it? And yes, I do find myself pondering these issues, pandemic or no pandemic! We are in the middle of a crazy heatwave in the uk so I DON'T want to think about fluffy things at all!!! Except Eva (who has become a mer-dog!) Colognes ARE made out of smells that we love - flowers! Laughed a lot at Brenda's sign as I'm pretty sure you did too. Keep smiling Darnell, mwah!

Nothing has ever smelled the same since.<br /><br />It is a lovely picture of Mister and Dan and the boys, I never noticed before how much Dan looks like you, he is lovely! Sorry to be late but this heatwave is getting to me, I can only imagine what you have to live with in the summer. I don't think air conditioning is worth it though over here for two or three days each summer! Take care, stay safe and well.
