Well it's just a little blog today (she says..).
As you know (that's if there is anyone out there..!)I hate to tidy
my craft room as I just don't have the time or inclination to do so..
I always say I know where everything is when it's a mess (other than, my half a dozen or so Poky tools that i've had to buy and the odd packet of brads.. you get what i'm saying.. Lol..!)
Well i'm smiling very broadly now as;

A. I have found that I do have a carpet, although it is or was peppered with squashed brads, gems, tiny flowers etc.

B.My desk is clear ( should I say it's getting there.)so I am now richer to the tune of 35p. Don't even ask.....!

C. There is a place for everything and everything is nearly in it's place ;o)

D I have found the one thing lost for some time now and I'm over the moon
I have found the cutest rubber stamp that has never been used and it has driven me to despair that I knew I had it but was nowhere to be found...

But i'm not going to tell you who she is... You will just have to come back tomorrow to see.......!

I'm gong back now to see what other treasures there are hidden in what I call my craft room.. This cleaning lark can be so much fun... Not...

See you tomorrow, well I would love to SEE you but it's just a thing that sits on my knee and it talks to me sometimes ;o)

It's the best part of the day when I get on to my blog and have a good old chat to the computer hoping that there is someone out there that will read it and have a laugh or leave me some love....!

I can see the carpet in my craft room today..Lol.. I have been playing but tried using my desk rule..! I can only make a card or finish a card using things that are laying around on my desk.. So half a dozen cards later (and more) my desk was getting clearer.. I was fed up with tripping over boxes so I picked them up and put them away. I even made room for my 12x12 boxes of stamps to go into the wardrobe with the others already there, however my son's dress suit will be a bit creased unless he takes it with him in the next hour when he calls..! If he does that then the other half a dozen 12x12 boxes with my 12x12 paper that is in my hubbies room, can also go into the wardrobe and I will have a happy Hubby.. ;o)

On paper craft planet I have a few of the ladies showing pictures of their craft rooms you should go and have a look on the RAK group.. They all put me to shame...Lol... but what do I care as long as I know where everything is...Mmmmmm!

Well I best show you a couple of finished cards and stop waffling on....
The Blue card was made with scraps of paper lying around and a little bit of red that I had been using on christmas cards last week. The image was sent o me by one of the RAK girls..

The Red card was started ages ago with the flower charm and frame already attached to the card. I love the frame and this was cut on my cricut but I was not sure what to put in the middle of it..so the image I used came from the same RAK friend, then I just needed to add the lettering and the Candy dots that I get from CraftWork Cards down the road in Leeds.
Hope you like them.....
I will be back very sooooon maybe tomorrow but definitely on monday that's if I get time to play.. Lol.. and you know I will..!

So Special..

Well what a daft post it was that I did yesterday..Lol...!
It's a good job you all know me well enough by now to know that I'm totally "Barmy"..!

The paper I was not sure of is the new Lemonade paper by Basic Grey..!
As you must know as i'm on here my craft room has been in use today...
The paper I know is by My Minds Eye.. the fab images was sent to me by Norma one of my new friends on Paper Craft Planet, we did an image swap..
Yeah... I got my McGill paper punch too as you can see with the leaves i've used, again I have made some "scrunch" flowers embelished with some more of the wonderful buttons bought on the East coast of the UK...and the charms from The Hobby House...
Sorry about the interruption... My friends have just been so i'm a
bit fazed, where was I?
Oh yes doing my blog..;o)

I had to place the flower on the right down there as I had done a "Happy Accident" by dropping my brush so there was an extra brush mark to the side of his leg...
I was not sure whether to make it into a Birthday card or an Anniversary card so just added Totally Special to the front.
I think I like this card, as over the last few days I've notbeen sure about the others made.
My friends liked it too.. they also brought me a bag of dirty dusters and cloths to wash which was nice of them...! Ok they were my 2 fantastic full time staff Clare and Sharon but still my mates which is how they became my staff they wanted to do it.. How great is that.. We laugh more than ever now and our elderly clients join in too..
I will have to ask if I can put their photo on here soon as I was asked last week if i would only because I mentioned they now have their uniforms.. (it looks better).
I best go and clean a little bit.. Well an hour will do the trick, but then again it gets dark so early now so may do it later. That is my excuse for today ;o0
Hope you like it...!

Thanks to Barbara on PCP (Paper craft Planet) I didn't have to tidy my room..Lol..
She is my saviour for the day, I live another day to craft and not to tidy.... I clean for a living so if I can get away with not cleaning my craft room then I will just play. As you all know the more stash you use the less stash there is to tidy so that is my way of thinking for today, I wonder what excuse I will have tomorrow...! Yeah you will have to come back and see....
Now what have I been doing then with my free time;;
Shopping, Washing, and PLAYING...
My cards are all made with something iv'e not tried before.
The Pale Pink card is made from material, I bought this from The Hobby House here in the UK and used my sewing machine to sew it onto a piece of white card smaller than my 8x8 and added the 3 smaller squares... I did not have a clue what I was doing just messing about..! as you do when your mind goes blank. I need to fray the smaller squares a little bit and add a quote somewhere too.
The Green card I love and wanted to try and make some flowers that were scrunched up so I cut them out on my cricut with the Walk in the Garden cartridge.. How many time have I been tempted to sell this one as I don't use it that often. I do not have any of the spray glimmer mist thingys so used my rub on metallic lustre stuff...! I hope you all know what I mean as I forget the proper names of some stash...! The leaves are beautiful velvety and by prima. The buttons in the middle of my flowers are from my wonderful new friend Maggie on the East coast of the Uk in the market..
The last card is done with lots of new paper and I will have to let you know who they are by as my mind has done a runner for the moment......something "The Hill" or Cherry something.. I think.. by i'm rubbush at this.....;o(
You all know the image is from the new magnolia summer kit and the was coloured with my whispers pens again..
I'm now very late putting our tea on and hubby will be home sooooon.
Hope to see you all tomorrow for another bit of rubbish blogging.

Well here it comes.... are you ready for my little (who am I trying to kid...!)Mess.
If you believe that then you will believe anything..Lol...
I'm only doing this to make myself have a tidy, it's my day off tomorrow..
yeah I know i've just had a long weekend but...It's just the way it goes ;o)
My Way..! I'm the boss and that's just how I like it.. I will never be made redundant again.
If and when I get tidy in there I will post another picture but please, please don't hold your breath...Lol I would like you all to be here to lve another day and be able to keep looking in. You never know one of these days I will get tidy...
I have found half an hour or so to finish this card off too. There are a few others that need finishing too so maybe tomorrow I will...Oh well lets just see eh.

Hello..!

Hi everyone,
Sorry there is nothing new for me to show you.
I have been away for a long weekend and hope to have
something in the next couple of days..
I hope you have been having some crafting time and enjoying yourself..
I have been thinking of shaming myself into having a mass tidy up in my craft room by posting a few photos but you wouldn't want to go there.. it is a mess and I need to do something soon as i'm losing the will to go in there....! It is scary..
I will think about it soo come back and look sometime soooooon.! You best be sat down if you look though...Lol... or have the doctor on stand by..

Lynn xx

Very Special

Well it's blog time again.. I'm sure I was only here 5 minutes ago.
Hubby has gone to chalet to fix the water heater and is not back until next wednesday ready for his shift next thursday.. I'm going to join him after a very busy day tomorrow until I ave to return next tuesday to do a little job. i'm not taking any craft stuff with me (what am I saying) but am taking a couple of books to read....
I may have to re think that statement and think about it for a while...Lol.!

I've made a very special card today for my grandson who will be 4 two week today..This card will be probably from my son as I like to send a bigger card...
I have the Seasame street cricut cartridge and never used it yet so it could be a card made with something from there from 'grannie Peg'(nick name given to me by my son and hubby due to my bad leg...)
I'm just going to add this picture then I'm going to the fish shop... I'm not cooking just for myself even though I have had a day off today..... I may as well let someone else do the cooking ;o)

I love this image even though he is quite old now..! The paper was sent in an RAK and I have used my whispers pens to colour.
I will be back next wednesday. Have a great weekend everyone..!
