Man card with scary stuff

Hello to all my crafty pals and Thank You for your good wishes. I am still without a craft area to work in so have been a very absent blogger, I hope you are all well and coping with the atrocious weather we are having. I feel very sorry for anyone who has been flooded so hugs to anyone affected.
I have no idea where the time is going, even my coffee gets cold before I get to it. I got sidetracked into de-cluttering and have spent many hours cleaning the hundreds of books we own and selecting many hundred to go to the bookbank. We have also recycled a huge amount, including decades of collected magazines but I have said a firm NO to anything crafty going, lol.
Asked to make a man card with scary stuff I was tempted to just write (Merry Christmas) on it. Here is what I put together and any comments/suggestions will be gratefully read. 
I have only got a couple of man cards left in my box so I do need to give mojo a huge nudge and get on with it. Hope to pop around and see you all soon.

  1. Hi Flora
    Lovely to have you back.
    Sounds like you have been very busy and I hope you are keeping well.
    A man card with something scary on it? For my husband, that would be a card blank with a list of chores on it lol !
    I think you have fit the brief very well with your card, esp with that spider. . . It made me wince.
    Best wishes.

  5. Nice to "see" you again Flora. And what a great man card. Love that owl. I don't mind man cards too much. Luckily since I have a husband, son and son-in-law and also three great nephews. I tend to rely a lot on cars!

    Take care,

  12. Hi Flora. Good to see youposting again. I don't envy you your de cluttering at all. Books are one thing I couldn't part with - although it sounds as though I don;t have any where the amount you do/did.
    Fab card and scary enough for me. Can't abide spiders myself - I'd have to keep checking those hadn't moved.lol

  16. Flora great to see you posting again even if it's with your great scary card, I don't mind spiders as long as they are not to big, I think Anna who I look after should have a sort out of her books and give them away but that's a no no!! And she is only 11years old and has book cases full, thank goodness for her getting a kindle but she still loves a book, book. Don't over do it. Hazel x

  18. Hi Flora,
    wonderful to see you back posting again.
    I do hope you are keeping well, sounds like major work all that sorting out, but it's very satisfying when you can look at it and say well that was worth while.
    Super card for a male person. I do love those owl dies, as I own them myself.
    Not so sure of the spiders though. lol. As I am not a great lover of spiders.lol.
    I have a contraption in my plug socket to prevent them from my house, and I must say it works, as I have never seen a big spider since moving in, and I have a lake and lots of trees the other side of my garden fence.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

  21. OOh Flora this is almost gorgeous - I say 'almost' only because of those eight legged beasties - Jennie told me about her plug in thingy but I have not yet bought one. If I close my eyes (partically) however, I think those owls are simply amazing - would love to know what the shiny one is made from. Love all the pine branches as well - this is a lovely card, apart from .......... LOL!!!

    Big hugs to you Sue Pxxx
