I have been thoroughly spoilt by my children today, it being Mothering Sunday. Our son has a ridiculous sense of humour and I couldn't resist showing you the envelope of his card, obviously written in his 'bestest' writing! He can be quite sensible but is a 56 year old lovable loony!
I have been pondering for ages on whether to buy myself a Gelli plate and finally succumbed last week. If I'd been an impulse buyer I could have saved myself nearly £5 - the price has shot up since I last looked at them. I haven't had time to try it out yet but am looking forward to some messy playtime. I had also looked at a Big Shot embossing and cutting machine but they are very expensive and I'm not sure I would make the most of one. Also, I think I would find it limiting having to use the dies and plates that someone else has designed, rather than creating my own. The Gelli plate is quite a different tool of course, but it will encourage me to develop my newly found drawing skills and create my own designs.
Friday was such a cold, wet and miserable day - I couldn't believe the weekend forecast was for warmth
and sunshine, but it arrived right on time. I hope it continues a bit longer - I've become a fair weather gardener and want to get out to sow some seeds in the garden and the greenhouse.
I hope you have had a lovely weekend too.

You'll enjoy the Gelli plate Heather, I use mine all of the time. I have a Big Shot too, but I mainly use it for cutting fabric circles that I use often in my journals.
Heather, thank goodness we both have sons who can act a big daft when the occasion arises.
sounds like you had a lovely day Heather. I shall look forward to seeing your gelli plate creations . I can imagine it could be right up your street. I love my Big Shot. I've used it more and more as time's gone by and am now on my second one. It took a while to get used to incorporating die cutting into my creating.
You will love using the Gelli plate,all your stamps and stencils can be put to even more use. The warmth is welcome but seems to have come all at once.Good luck with your sowing.
The gelli plate is the bestest fun!
We have just had our warmest 1st April ever, 34 celsius. Am now looking forward to some cooler weather when we visit Tasmania shortly.
Good to hear you have been thoroughly spoiled!
Glad to hear that you were spoiled. Look forward to your Gelli plate exploits.
