Xbox Junkie

Good morning to all my friends and  followers and a special welcome this morning to Irene my latest follower. Thank you so much for following my blog and  I hope you continue to visit and  enjoy my posts.
As I said earlier in the week I had been making some male birthday cards.This is more of  a card suitable for a teenager but there are some men also who love playing on the Xbox.The image is a topper from The Hobby House but it just was perfect for the person I want to send it to. Hope you enjoy it .

For a male card I quite enjoyed making this one.
 
I had a great time at my friends caravan at South Shields on Wednesday/Thursday we walked all along the seafront and to the end of the pier had a nice lunch in a restaurant by the beach and Groyne then ended the day with a Minchella's ice cream tub topped with chocolate flake and  raspberry sauce. Just the best ice cream in the world. It tastes exactly the same as when I was a young child. The caravan is in a great location and  although the weather wasn't brilliant we did sit out on that lovely veranda with wine on Wednesday evening perfect.
 
Now for some exciting news Kevin one of my followers has had a candy draw running and  also achieved 1000 followers isn't that amazing.  I've won a prize so I'm a really lucky girl today
 thank you Kevin.
 
I've not got a lot planned for the weekend but am away next week for three days in Chester with my lovely girlfriends and we are meeting with another of our friends on Wednesday who now lives in the Wirral. So looking forward to that.
 
Enjoy the weekend whatever you have planned looking at the weather here right now I may just be doing some crafting.
Once again thank you all for all the lovely comments left on my Beach Huts post I was thrilled especially as it was a man card!!  Hugs Carole x
