I did buy the extra see through ruler but it does come with a white magnetic ruler. So far I have not had the chance to use it in earnest but it was quite good for flattening a marbled background rather than all my heavy books!Susan Renshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021907343578323291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179108377778793607.post-3342077825105756142020-07-04T08:40:14.659+10:002020-07-04T08:40:14.659+10:00We have moved around a lot over the years followin...We have moved around a lot over the years following my husband's job. We both went to Sheffield University and then stayed on in Sheffield during the 70s. We moved to Haverfordwest in 1980 then Anglesey in 1984. Next was Macclesfield before becoming expats. Our first overseas country was Australia in 98. After that we have lived in Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, India and then back to the UK. We returned to Melbourne in February just before Covid became the huge problem...Susan Renshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021907343578323291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179108377778793607.post-51880506948377121552020-07-04T02:43:14.594+10:002020-07-04T02:43:14.594+10:00HI Susan!

I wonder if I would need the positioner if I have the Tim Holtz stamper thing. I love your card - the blue wings add so much action to the card, I feel like they are really flying! How nice to have been able to visit with your Grandchildren! Thanks for your earlier visit, have a great week!

Wow, you used to live in Haverfordwest?! When did you move to Australia. I have an aunt and her family near Perth, but never visited. I really don't know how I would cope with the long flights. We are still on almost full lockdown here, but non-essential shops and businesses are slowly reopening, and from 13th July some holiday accommodation will also be ready for business. I have actually liked the quieter roads, but it will still be good to get back to some sort of normal.

So pleased you were able to spend time with your granddaughters. We are having our grandsons to stay in a couple of weeks - I don't know who is looking forward to it the most - my daughter and hubby for the peace, or the boys for an adventure, or Mr M and I because we have missed them so much.

This pandemic has made it hard to see loved one so I am glad to hear you are blessed with a visit from your granddaughters. Sorry to hear lockdown is coming back. I am in the US and we are having crazy spikes in cases. Yet I still see some people without masks and not social distancing. It's frustrating but I suspect another full lockdown is in our near future. Enough gloom talk. Your cards are lovely. Bees are the rage lately. I made some two weeks ago and had so much fun. Today we had heavy rains but the sun is trying to peek out so maybe I can get out on my covered deck for a reading session and tea. Stay well and I will see you next week.<br />Belinda #31Belindahttp://www.belindascrafts.com/whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-578/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179108377778793607.post-50050095358989389672020-07-02T01:39:01.198+10:002020-07-02T01:39:01.198+10:00This is a really elegant card!
