Very Pink..






Yes I know you have been missing
me... Lol.. but I'm here now.... I have been busy making my
next door neighbours wedding invitations...and a very very pink door hanger as I enjoyed making the last one and using up a lot of my scrap paper too.
Some of the papers used are from RAKs sent from new friends on PCP..
Have you ever been on there? You can meet some wonderful people from all over the world..
You have to be careful though as you can start talking on the chat line with some very strange people for a good and very funny Hour....!! Lol
Yeah you know who you are ;o) I always end up burning our tea if I'm not careful...
I think she knows i'm joking it happens only once a day...
The answer to the question you asked earlier about the magnolia stamp is on the magnolia group... Enough of the chat..

The wedding invitations were to be very plain and simple (just how I like it).
They were my wedding gift to Claire and James along with some favours, but they will not be done for a while yet.. Yes they will be on my blog when they are done..
They are in Pink too...!

My new door/wall hanging is in every shade of pink you could think of... Last year I was not a lover of PINK..!
I'm not sure if there is a limit to the photos you can add I one go on your blog but I best just pick the best ones or you will still be here looking tomorrow..
I'm sure I rabbit on far too much too.. Please tell me if I do!

Enough said here are the photos or you will never return to my silly little blog...
Please feel free to leave me some love.. it is the only thing these days that costs nothing ;o)

Door Plaque/Hanging...





Well Hello there...
I have had my monday off as usual other than not taking the gentleman out to the bank and shopping as I have had a problem today... I keep having to go to the loo.. That is all i'm saying..Lol...

It is also a sad day today as I have just been told this morning that one of my other clients has passed away.. He was taken very ill last week so I've been helping his wife a little bit more.I'm back there again tomorrow for a few hours.

I'm so behind with lots of things.. I desperately need to get to the post office etc to post some late RAKs.
I have had chance to play a little today and finish off something that I started last week....There is only 1 square to do now...
There is not much more for me to say today.. just to add the photos. I hope to be back tomorrow but if not I promise to be back by thursday...

Finishing off...




I'm getting a bit bored of all this tidying..... I need to craft....
Now you know i'm telling "Porky Pies".. Lol... I have been sorting and throwing bits of itsy bitsy scraps of paper that I just think that I could punch the tiniest flower from....as we do.. even card that has been the backing of that wonderful new gadget that you have just bought (well about 3 years ago in my case!)

I have put the finishing touches onto these 2 cards today and have put verses inside huggings of cards and put them into pollybags now and boxed them in the boxes i got from Ikea yesterday... I have also had a bit of a brainwave (what do you mean Oh No not again).. The shoe storage things that you can buy with velcro fastenings that hang inside your wardrobe to hold about 10 pairs and you can buy the boxes (as I did yesterday) too to fit.... well my 4x4 cards fit in there nice and snug so that is what I intend to buy next week...I was going to just put bits and bobs in the boxes as they are long and thought that the long sizzix die cut borders would live in them....
I should rewrite that but I'm sure you can work it all out....! You know i'm a bit too busy just now..

Here are the cards... I need a cup of tea... See you all tomorrow.

I'm still on my scraps cards today.. and I was going to say no Magnolias either but as you can see I have used the cat and the dog....!!
The other little pooch is from Sugar Nellie and most of you will know that the little truck is from Stamping Up... The little metal frames are from an RAK friend over at Paper Craft Planet..

I'm going to give my neighbour some of these cards as she has sold more cards for me again so it will be a little "Thank You" from me..She is deaf and she takes them to the deaf club...

Well, I came down from playing (and tidying) to have a chat with Marie on Paper Craft Planet but I missed her as I had not been onto my blog so only just got her message to say she would be early ;o( as I came into the room I put on the Tv as I had been watching QVC and thought I will listen to the radio but I must turn it down or Marie would not hear me... ! Mmmmm.
Yeah... it was a little Crazy Senior Citizen moment....! I know I have them all the time..

Time to make tea...!

Scraps Only...





Well I'm sorry but I did not manage to do any more of the new nellies but I may get some done tomorrow.....
I have been on another tidy up mission.. although I have still
been playing but ( there's always a but).. only with any scraps of paper from my ever growing mountain on the floor at the side of my bed.... I'm always playing in bed...
Now now then, keep it clean ladies...!
My hubby is on a mission to decorate ASAP as he is fed up with my MESS ;o(
I have no idea what he means ;o)

I have not even used a Magnolia on these cards and I have used my 4x4 envelopes that i bought especially for smaller cards to use up my bits of scrap paper.. I hate waste, It must be due to being one of Seven children and my mum hated waste....

So these are my creations for today...
Sorry it is short and sweet but i'm in the middle of burning our tea....

Marie, I do not have a clue what went on with our chat.. I could see no text at all until the last minute when you said you would be there tomorrow.. I will be there same time.. XX

New Sugar...


I was one of the very lucky ladies to buy the new Sugar Nellies home grown stamps last week, although with decorating over the last 2 days I have only just managed to make a card... I have used my Sekura pens today.. I've not used them for a while..
These little beauties sold out with in about 48 hours.. There are 4 of them and have managed to put them all onto card but need to make some more up so I only have one card for you tonight...
I will make up for it though in the next couple of days....
Hubby says we are decorating my craft room without having it plastered so it could be done next week... Where am I going to put all that lovely stash...Lol.. I know where hubby would like to put it.. but it would have to be over my dead body.. he reckons even that cold be arranged ;o(
So if you don't hear from me in a while please send the cops around looking under the patio here or at the chalet...

Hope you come back for more of my waffle sooooon....

Well here I am as promised yesterday with piccies of the long lost stamp...Lol..!
Yeah.. i'm early but we have to decorate today as hubby is off work until thursday morning and I only need to nip out to take someone shopping in the next hour, so I need to hide my laptop away (I may just take it upstairs so that I can have a bit of a 'Hop' tonight).

I have made 2 cards (no I don't sleep) using the same papers as they are fabby papers bought from The Hobby House. (The post man has just been too with my new Sugar Nellies of the Home Grown style... ;o))

Hubby just asked when we finish decorating the room do I want the furniture putting back in the same place etc... I say my furniture moving days are over but if he wants the sofa and tv etc in a different place I don't mind.. We used to have a Taxi business until we grew up and got proper jobs...He used to come home in the early hours some nights and I had moved the bed so he always ended up stubbing his toes.. ;o)

i'm just putting off add the sweetest images.. One is from the new Magnolia Summer kit and the other is a long lost never been used sweetie...!
I hope to be back tomorrow if he has not sealed my laptop shut as he is sat tapping his feet....! As always..

Bye....
I'm back just to tell you I had taken piccies but not cropped them.. now that that is done I can add them... Have I told you that I have found the sweetest stamp... I best go......
