Mirror Mirror on the Wall

A lovely pink and girlie card to share with you today.  This is the first time I've coloured this image and I've kept the layout simple with some stitching, flowers, pearls and some embroidery thread.  It is so sweet and I love all the pink.



For those of you who read my post yesterday where I was preparing to start on my 15 mile night walk in aid of the local hospice, well it took 5.5 hours, but I made it!  We started at 7.30 and finished at 1am.  Walking through Torquay town centre in my PJs at 1am when the late night pubs and clubs were kicking out was, erm, interesting.  People come from all over the UK to have Stag & Hen nights at Torquay, and we got a few comments as we marched past in our PJs.   At least I can actually remember what I did last night, where as I suspect most of those people we passed in the wee hours, who were staggering in a similar fashion to us (though for different reasons), might not remember what they got up to last night.  I'm paying for it this morning though. My legs, especially the backs of my knees and my ankles, are so stiff that I think I will be spending most of the day sat down.  I think tomorrow will be worse as it always aches more 2 days later, right?  Oh dear, still, at least I can sit and craft today.  Thanks to everyone who left sweet motivational comments on my post yesterday.  It was much appreciated.

Hahahaha..I didn't realize you got to do it in your jammies! That's awesome. Those poor sots probably had to do a double take to figure out where they were. Or do you suppose they were already double taking and had to do a triple take? Either way...sore muscles are much better than hangovers! :)

Your mirror image bear is adorable. Great job on the coloring. I would never have been able to match the faces the same!
Hugs,
Lisa xx
