And here's some more...

Well the snow is still falling (blowing a blizzard just now) and my hubby is on his way home...!

His tea is not burn for a change...Lol..

A couple of cards to show you and a few snowy ones...

Unless this snow goes away I will be home crafting but best not spend until i'm back earning some money.. I'm missing all the sales too..;o( not just for craft.. I wanted new pllows for the chalet etc..

Please take a minute out of your day to think of all the homeless people out there...!

I've had one of my staffs young lads round today as he wanted to make a birthday card for my nephew who is 12 tomorrow and his best friend. He can't get into the town so came to see me for an hour to play with all my stash. He knew I made cards as his "Nanna" does too and he loves to make some with her. He did not realise just how much stuff I had... and enjoyed himself immensely..

I also enjoyed his company. His mum should be proud of such a young polite son she has..

Hubby has just arrived home now so I best put tea out. I hope to be back again tomorrow..

Getting Ahead....!

Well it's nearly a month since I was last here...Where has the time gone as it feels as though it was only yesterday....

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas... We did although they are getting quieter every year, as the boys have grown up and flown the nest and both have families of their own..

I have only worked 1 day in the last 3 weeks due to the weather and a bit of a chest infection.. So what should a girl do with all that time on her hands.... Craft craft and more craft..

Here are a couple of card that are ready for christmas 2010 and a photo taken Christmas 2009 of my sons little helper... I can't wait until she is my little craft buddy..Lol...

I hope some of you will recognise papers, images and embellishment you have sent in RAKs. I will carry on with christmas cards until I have used all the old dps I have from over the last few years that I have stashed. This weekend i hope to show a little box that I have finished of cards that I will be giving out as Birthday and Christmas presents. I will also be making lots of Christmas tags too for friends and family..

Have fun in whatever you are making and I will be back soon.

Well its 2 weeks till christmas and the cards are all done and posted.I have about a dozen ready for next year and am still making them. If I carry on until the end of this year I may have at least half of what I will need next year...! Hows that for been organised..

I'm making Birthday Books as christmas presents too so that I just need to nip out and buy some nice pens to go with them alng with a few home made cards too..Lol..!

I have been using up my scraps of dp on the front/back covers..

There are plain pages after the picture and calendar month so that in november they can mark off number 30 and on the blank page add 30 = Lynn etc..

Just messing.....!

Here are a few cards that I have been messing about with...!

The christmas /birthday card with the H&S image on is a card I get asked for by one of my clients every year. It is for his niece in Australia who's birthday is on christmas day so he asks for me to do a nice card...

I have already done a bit of baby sitting ;o)....

My son and Vicky asked if they could leave Emily with me whilst they went home for some bits n bobs they needed... They can't wait for the boiler to be fixed tomorrow so they can show Emily her nursery that they worked so hard to get done.. It's the first time my son had wall pappered and they picked a Nursery Rhyme Mural type thing that was made up of so many squares... I was glad it was him and not me doing it. He has done quite a good job too.......

Hope you like the cards... I hope to be back in the next couple of days with more..although I have bought 2 jars to decorate up for christmas ;o(

Wow....Did I tell you my son and girlfriend was due to have a baby??? Lol...

Well here she is less than 24 hours old..Emily..

Have you seen all that hair...

Isn't she beautiful...Lol.. I'm not sure who she looks like just now as at first she looked like vicky (her mum) then I have seen my son in her and his dads side of the family..

They have gone to stay with Vickys mum for a few days as their boiler broke yesterday.

Well that it for today i'm now going to have a glass of wine with my hubby.....1

A stamp is for life and not just for Christmas...

Hi, sorry it's been a few days again but we are getting even busier just now with work..

I love this image she is so sweet and can be used all year round and not just for christmas..

I also masked her to have all the dots behind her.. I was not going to add that many but got a little carried away..as we do.

OOOOh I have been bad again... I told you my friend had gone back to work in the craft shop well, I dropped in today to drop off the new cricut cartridge she wanted (when I told her about them we bought one each as they are limited edition). What was the owner of the shop doing but pricing the box full of Marther Stewart punches up so I have come home with 3 new ones ;o) :o(..

all I wanted was some distress ink whilst I was there..

Hubby been to bed for an hour and just got up so best find out what we are having for tea.. It was his turn and he was going to make a shepards pie... Mmmmm

Baby should arrive tomorrow as Vicky has to go into the maternity ward so I will be back and it will all be about the BABY... We a bit upset as the midwife let slip what she is having and they did not want to know....but never mind as long as they are both fine at the end of the day... I'm having a little bet with my hubby as to whether my son will pass out or not ;o)..

See you in about 24 hours...

Complete Madness..!

Yeah, I love Madness... Baggy Trousers is the best I think and brings back so many memories.. I have known my son be out on a weekend and has phoned me from the pub just because it is on the Jukebox.... Lol, hows that for madness..

however i'm talking about my day out to do a class with Bev... Well she is just so funny.

To start off with I had the route planned in my head and my mate brought her Tomtom with her and before we knew it it was taking us back home..! So we turned back around and found our way there it's as easy as pie..! could do it blindfolded now... haha.

Wen we arrived we went straight into the shop, as you do. Five minutes later we had to leave our baskets with Jill and was told to "get to the class".

There we met a new friend called Annette or Anita (sorry, my brain is not working still), although it turned out that she was stalking Bev and my mate Cath was stalking this other lady "Net"....

You know who you are..... You can kick my butt the next time we meet... ;o)

The card we made was lovely as you can see. Cath yours is beautiful too....!

I have not taken a great photo of it as I have missed the best of the light due to my son calling last night and introducing me to "Scrabble" on facebook. I don't like facebook but love scrabble....

So here is my card and I promise to take photos first and then play scrabble...!
