Pie Chart Play

Thank you to all my crafty pals for your lovely comments on my champagne shoe, I so enjoy reading your comments and I do try hard to visit you. Evie sent me a Liebster award and I have added a link to her blog along with the link to Sharon’s blog, Sharon awarded me this on an earlier occasion.
My crafty pals are the best, always encouraging and sending kindly thoughts, and chatting by email I was just mentioning my determined effort to reduce my sugar intake and how I had not touched any sweets/chocolate for over a fortnight – and the lightbulb lit brightly – this ties in with my rumbling FM headache which painkillers refused to move. So armed with the strongest dark chocolate from Lidl, instead of painkillers I have successfully chased my headache away, yippee. 
My card today is simply a bit of play. I have old stash and sometimes I wonder if I should be using it or not but I find it difficult to get rid of anything so instead I just play. Will I ever learn to do CAS, probably not! - maybe the next card, lol.
This is the most fun die cutter and I think it was meant for play.

Paper and card - card blank is a 5x7.
and the angel hair from my messy stash,
Dies used – Die-namics Accent It Pie chart and
Whimsy Corner Set.

  1. Lovely card Flora, love how you've designed it and toppers are fab.
    Pleased you've found a remedy for your headaches, awful things. Sugar causes quite a number of maladies, having diabetes and struggling with my carb intake for years has informed me just how bad it is for anyone really. I eat when I feel the urge 7o% and upwards dark choc.
    Anyway you take care, Kate x

  23. Great to see you are using up some stash - I think most of us hoard things. I know I just can't bear to throw anything away, even the tiniest scraps of card and paper. Good to know that the chocolate worked - has to be better than too many painkillers!

  28. It's good to use up your stash hun - I'm still not purchasing any papers or ribbons because I still have so much to use! Gorgeous card, love angel hair stuff, wish it was easier to find! Don't know if you are aware Flora, and I will try to find the article, some research into FM and chronic fatigue showed that eating higher content chocolate helped FM sufferers - I prefer it these days too - and the Aldi one is good as well! hugs Karen x

  33. This is a lovely card Flora, I love the angel hair and your fab die cuts.
    I'm glad you have found the reason for your headache and chocolate is so much nicer than pain killers.
