Lucky Richard ....

I had a lovely request last week via my website last week - a lady wanted a card to

give to her boyfriend on 29th February, asking him to marry her ??!!

According to an old Irish legend, or possibly history, St Bridget struck a deal with St Patrick to allow women to propose to men – and not just the other way around – every 4 years. This is believed to have been introduced to balance the traditional roles of men and women in a similar way to how Leap Day balances the calendar.

On the front of the card I die-cut the letters for his name

and punched the heart out with a SU punch.....she wanted to keep it simple.

.......and when Richard opens the card he will find ........

I typed the words out and stuck them to some thick kraft card and

used a Cuttlebug Jigsaw die that

I found on eBay on Sunday night - and thankfully arrived today -

and when Richard pieces the jigsaw together....

How lovely and romantic is that ?? I hope she gets in touch with me

and lets me know the answer !!!

Thanks for stopping by - and all your lovely comments.

Mum.....

Brenda's funeral was a lovely celebration of her life. The church was so packed the doors could not be closed and people were standing in every space available.

Beautiful tributes were read by all the family and Lewis had written a poem which Eleanor and he read verse for verse.....I was so proud of them and everyone was in awe of their 'Northern accent' and how well they read aloud.

There wasn't a dry eye in the whole church and everyone held and shared some lovely memories.....it was a long tough day but I'm sure Brenda would've been happy if she was looking down on us all.

I made this card last week for Brenda which was put onto the flowers.......
