Have any of you seen these?

I was on my last few pounds at the show and thought I'm looking for something new...(I just did not want to take the money home as it would be against all my rules!!).

Then I came across these little stamp kits, although they come in bigger sizes. I can't wait to get using these and will order more too..

There is a little wooden stamp holder and under it there are a few ridges, these hold the rubber in place. The small set I have includes 10 various quotes and 10 different borders too. The other set has an alphabet with 3 different surrounds for any single letter to fit in the middle.

i hope the photos show you better than I have explained. the wooden stamp holder and stamps I chose are the smallest and they get a lot bigger to fit jam jar tops etc...

I saw a wedding theme, a baby, a kitchen and a few others..

Jayne keep your eyes peeled they are from the people who sell the Wizzard and nessties... I'm not sure of the name and will ask my friend who they were as she knows them all..

Look what I found...!

OOOOh look What I found in a bag of mount board off cuts..

What are they you may ask, but my brain went on overdrive for a while..

They are the middle of the mount that are used for framing pictures and I was lucky to find 2 in a few bags that I got from a shop and all you have to give is a small donation (I can get them free in a different shop but have not been here for ages but still bought raffle tickets from them) I gave her £5 and she said it was far too much so she told me to take all 3 bags....How lucky am I..! Little things please tiny minds as they say... Lol how true is that...

Any how I have started this picture for my bedroom wall and am going to put the words

"My family" at the top. i'm not sure how to finish around the edges... I thought of punching some holes and do some "Over" stitching and adding some beads or putting some flowers in places....I need to find my Magnolia cat to put on top of the pile of books too..

Leave me some love and suggestions please.....

Hope you like it.... I Love it... My niece wants it.... So I need to do the other one....!

Look at this flower...

This is the link you will need to create the wonderful flower I have found, this is my first attempt.. http://7kidscollegefund.typepad.com/7kidscollegefund/2009/03/claudia-rosa-design-team-member-tutorial-handmade-flower-embellishment.html

I was looking on the Sugar Nellie site as I do most days and I found these fantastic flowers via Marlene's blog that I always have a peek at.

This is my first attempt but will keep making these to add to my boxes and things...

I have also had to make a sympathy card for a neighbour that died last week. She is one of the reasons that my business is still going, as I told her one day that I was skint (I buy too much craft stuff) and was thinking of getting another Auditing job as things were going slow.. June like myself was a carer although she did about 20 years more than me and she told me I must keep going and to just carry on. sadly she died last monday of bowel cancer and I could not make it to the funeral yesterday as we (my other 4 girls and myself) are just snowed under with work this week... I just know she would understand and would loved to have helped out if she could have.

My son went as he went to school with her son and daughter and he said the church was packed.

You will be missed June.. XXX

So this plain White and silver card lead me on to make some not so fancy cards that I can make and sell to help me to buy the wheelchair I need for the business. I hope you like them and will let me know as I think they need just a little something else. I will add just a few for you.

Awful picture.. nice card though!

I will try again.... blog published before I said anything..!

What an awful photo... The best of the daylight has gone already ;o(

I need to get started a lot earlier now that the season is changing... I think we change our clocks next week or just after.... I hate this time of year! I do however love the change of colour on the trees though...

I have the news on just now and am so so sad at the funeral of Stephen Gately.. When other people are upset I am also almost in tears... RIP peace lad...!

The card I have made I love as the image is great for a young child.. The colours have an autumn feel too.

I can see it is time for me to make some cards using my scraps too so as I watch x factor tonight anything could happen with the choice of papers.

I could do with some note lets to send with my RAKs...Lol so you could receive anything ladies..

Tea is nearly ready so i must go give it a stir (a casserole) before it burns.. again...

Oh by the way I have just seen a sneek of some new Magnolias that are on pre Order at

Sir stampalot oooooh what a trea,t my bank man is not so happy..!

I have just been asked about the Onion comment left by Tabby on my last posting...

Jaqueline ... tab wanted to know the best way to get rid of the smell of Onion from your hands and I told her to try raw potato....

Leave me some love .... I will need it when I go see my bank man next week... ;0)

What's in this box ?

Hi there,

You all know I like to play in bed (keep it clean, remember... I'm passed all that..!) whilst watching TV... Well it took me 10 minutes to make this box... I don't measure anything although use my score board as a guide.. (I do really do need a score pal) to get a more snug fit.. for the little Post it pad inside it. I also cut the front tabs off as I was going to make it a different way.

Why does it say Thank You my friend will say when I give her it. Well I will reply I didn't have one that says "Daft as a Brush". when we were working yesterday we laughed non stop all day the oldies just loved it... We just had one of those "Silly" days. One lady was laughing so much I thought se was going to wet herself....!

My other girl and my sister are home today. I just happened to wake up at 5.15 am this morning so text her to say welcome to the UK along with your passport you need a hat, scarf, woolly hat and your thermals....She laughed in her txt back and asked what I was doing up at that time? I told her I had a nightmare that strange people were landing in the UK... I'm in so much trouble.Lol.. Who cares, you got to have a laugh... Right?

I'm early doing this and need to get ready for work.

Leave some Love....

Just a Mug...!

I got my Mug stamp from Stamps by Judith...... I love it and have stamped loads of them to pass on in the RAKs that I will be sending out....How will you decorate yours...

You need this stamp as it is so versatile.. Wait until you see my "Girlie Mugs"... They will be out soon.......

If you want this stamp get it today as Judith has 25% off...There is a smaller mug too..Lol.. i'm so tempted but that would be 3 orders in 3 weeks my bank is going to be on its knees soon begging me to stop spending..

Judith please stop making such wonderful images.........!!

Here is the link http://www.stampsbyjudith.com/SBJ%20News/SBJ%20News.htm

I have used the paper from the Brenda Pinnick stack again..The green card doesn't look very on the photo, although I like it. However the purple card needs the ribbon taking off and balencing out with something different. I may have to get the cricut out and do some words down the card..??

I will also add a card or two from yesterday..

I'm feeling as good as i'm going to get after this cold/flu and feel lucky that I have not had it for as long as my Old man had it for..

I normally start tea at this time as hubby will finish work at 6pm but, if I order a chinese I have time to do another card. ;o)

Sounds good to me...

I was up at 5 am with hubby this morning and out shopping at the all night ASDA by 5.30am so i'm too tired to cook...Lol

That is my excuse and i'm sticking to it.......

Just Messing......

I'm back... Nearly 100% but not quite... As it is the weekend I may get the proper rest needed to get to 100% I have had a funny 2 weeks of cold/flu as I have had to drive my girls to work and wait outside so I don't pass my germs on so have had to sit in the car and wait.... so not the best way to get better but my other girl is back on tuesday from Turkey where she has been with my sister and everything should get back to normal.... Mmmmm

As Shaz has been away in the sun she may end up full of cold in the next couple of weeks too....

Never mind it will soon be Christmas...!

I have had a good play today colouring cards in and getting ready for a sale that I may do mid November (unless i'm baby sitting) ;o)

Shaz sister in law had her baby yesterday a little boy, who is early and was due same day as my sons baby. he is doing fine and is in intensive care next to another friend of our baby that also arrived early. He weighed in at 5lb something and is 2lb heavier than the other little one. it's all happening here and they say things happen in threes so i'm on edge just now..

Right back to the cards...Lol... The New Home card I love and it is made with amn image sent in an RAK.. The paper is from the My Mind Eye stack ( I think) as is the blue card from the other day that I could not remember.... The flowers are by Primas ans the brads and everything else is from my never ending stash...

The Orange card is made with paper from an RAK as arethe tiny flowers at the bottom of the card, the bigger flowers are from my stash..

The "Men" cards are made with paper from Craftwork Cards here in Leeds.. The silver flowers are made from empty "Tonic" cans (as in Gin and Tonic) and were sent in an RAK from my Senior Citizen friend Marie over in Canada..( She did not send me any Gin though.. she drank that all herself... how mean.. hic!). You can see with the close up picture that the colour of the underneath of the flower is reflected in the paper...!!

come back soon and see what i'm going to rabbit on about......
