oooh! I love grandma day - me n me mum toddle off to Warrington to visit my Grandma once a month, the visit includes a trip to Ikea (just for a few bags of coffee you understand...) and a really good catch up and natter in the car going and coming home again.
It was a lovely sunny day all day - although back home it had sleeted, rained and been generally miserable!
when I returned, a wee package of Kaffe Fassett had arrived! oh joy of joys! especially as it had been only 1/3 the normal price :~)
bought these gorgeous cards at Ikea - just for inspiration you understand...
and here is Grandma, 93 years old!
she baked her own bread, knitted her own socks, tatted, drafted her own patterns, made lace, and cooked the best chips egg and mushy peas in the northern hemisphere!
this is a rare photo as she is smiling, instead of looking worried..
Then, to top the day off, the most amazing sun set that made even a humble terraced row look spectacular. 
oooh! before I forget, a doll swap!!!! not sure how to do a fancy link thingy, so just go here and take a look! http://meecrafty.blogspot.com/2008/04/doll-swap.html
