It's a Man Thing..!

I have gone mad on making man stuff today as a way of thinking of my poor hubby who went back today after about 5 weeks off work (it started with 2 weeks holiday)..

I was also thinking of my sons girlfrind who lost her granddad over the weekend.... So here's to all the wonderful men out there who nearly always get forgotten by us crafty card makers.. Oh yes and the girl card(I had to) she was just looking at me so I could not turn my back on here now could I....

All the cleaning that I was going to do today went out of the window too..Lol.. My bedroom is nearly finished and I have made head way with my craft stuff in between being creative(if that's what I call it)....

I need more boxes to do, so I have decided to make another Pizza box (like the brown one) a little bit bigger and i'm going to make boxes of cards as gifts for people at christmas...only small ones mind..!

Well hubby will be home for tea soon so I best show you the cards (all 3 of them)...

Papers and images are all from RAKs sent to be by the wonderful crafters on PCP (paper craft planet).....

A surprise in the box...

Hi ladies,

I'm back to doing the things I love the most.. Lol... making a mess and driving my hubby up the wall.. with bits of cut out paper trailing around me...

I can get into my room at last.... It feels as if it has been forever...

The bed/craftroom is plastered and painted all there is to do now is put some skirting on, I hope to get this done in the next few weeks as I want to get shelves etc and sort my stash.. I'm just using scraps and basic stuff just now as I have no idear where anything is or I just can't get to it..

I have made a couple of cards but I will save them for a rainy day or when I have lost my "Mojo" which is not very often but it does happen..

I had a wonderful day with my grandchildren yesterday although my grandaughter was a bit on the shy side....I will also add a couple of photos of them.. They may even be the photos that I add to this little book and give it to my daughter in law Gail who gave me my most treasured possetion.. a photo album full of pictures...

The papers used for the box and album are from CraftWork Cards based over in Leeds.. They have some yummy christmas papers coming out this year.

Leave me some love as it is well accepted. ;o)

Withdrawal Symptoms

Well I'm getting so tetchy and need to get crafting. I'm behind with some RAKs and this months will be due to go out soon too. If you are one of the ladies from PCP reading this and are due an RAK I am so so sorry that it will be late.

As you know my bedroom/craftroom is in the middle of being decorated etc but my hubby is so ill at the moment i'm not rushing him to do much. The doctor has said he has had the Swine Flu but it can take up to 6 weeks to clear properly. When the doctor did his blood preasure he said it is exactly the same as the last time he had it done... in 1992..! Yeah he hates to go see the doc.

I have tomorrow off work so I may get to paint a couple of walls. i will not be able to put new skirting on but that can wait. Over the weekend I may be able to move my grandbaby's new pram and the car seat and the nappy wrapper, my excersize machine etc and get to my stash and do a little bit although I don't know if I will get to what I want as it is all stacked up!

My will be getting bitten to the wick if something doesn't get sorted sooooon......!

Here have a look...

What's in the Box....!

Now you may be wondering what I have been up to...

It has to be another box as I have far too many cards.. This box however is very very special as it is to introduce everyone to my first grandaughter whom I will be going to see on Friday. They live so far away and we are all busy people so I only get to see them once every so often. When Courtney gets older I may let her have the box but for now it is my pride and joy and I can look at it whenever I want to..

Black may seem an odd colour but with pink it stands out very well and I Love it...! I keep adding embelishments if and when I come across one that is nice enough as nothing but the best will do.

I hope you like the box as much as I enjoy looking at it.

When I meet with them next week I hope to be getting more up to date photos. I now also need to find another nice box and do a blue Thomas the tank Engine one with photos of Cian my Welsh grandson who is Courtneys older brother.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Courtney...

She will be the grand old age of 2 ;o)

Oh and then I best get another box for who ever it may be that will arrive in November. We do not know if it is to be a boy or girl as mum and dad want a surprise...

Georges (my Hubby) son and his girlfriend had a baby girl last Thursday "Lottie" (Charlotte Matilda).

I need to get even more boxes..... As the grandchildren are now coming thick n fast I think these boxes could be nice for christmas presents... What do you think?

Please leave me some love and let me know.

It will be early next week when I leave anything here as i'm away for the weekend.

Home....

Hi Ladies,

I'm just back from my wonderful week (just short of) away.. I'm going back though in 48 hours with my old(best not let her see this bit) school friend as she is arriving from cambridge on friday.

My bedroom has been plastered.. YEAH.. I now need about a month to get it painted and back in use as a craftroom.. Hubby has said not to put a bed back in there, but I will have to think about that..

I hope to post a little something later tomorrow and to name the winner of my candy...
