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..

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..!

I'm still in christmas mode but nothing finished and I think you lot must be getting a bit fed up with them.. so i'm here just to say "Hello" and add another water fight photo from last week just to remind me that it is still summer after all...
I have also just been on Paper Craft Planet and been chatting to my Senior Citizen friend... If ever we had chance to meet up people around us would think we were 'Barmy'!
Marie you do make me smile and I always look forward to our little chats...I can't wait until I get back from my long weekend away.. ;o)

Birthdays and Christmas all in one day!




Happy Birthday today to my new cyber space OAP friend Marie...
Hope you have had a good day sweetie..!
Now I must get on with my blogging.
Again today i've been doing Christmas and some are good some are not.
I just love the Snowman card other than a bit too much red under his arm that is holding the parcel.. don't you agree Bev if you are having a peek?
i'm happy with my colouring as I feel it is getting heaps better, and if ever you have the chance to have a class or even see Bev Rochester at work it's a must..if you have the chance but don't go you must be crazy..She is the best teacher I have ever had.. a no nonsense type of lady, just like me.... ;o)...Lol!
The penguin sat on the igloo was my fav christmas stamp last year but i'm not so sure about this card. It may be the flowers that are just not right!!
The Sugar Nellie Santa is coloured just right (I think so) but again the embelishments let the card down..
The Diamond Dust is a must for your snowflakes too.. go on "Get some" you will not regret it.. Bev recommended it at the Harrogate show in March.
I best stop rambling and add the pictures.. but first I best tell you that i have used distress inks on all of these cards.. Not a Copic in site...!

I've had a bit of a christmas thing going on for a couple of days, stamping images cutting paper to size etc...
Some of the papers are a couple of years old and I just need the space...Lol... how many of us are in the same situation....!
I promised myself a 2 month shopping ban and a few hours later I spent £5 on some stamps and i've been spending again today and i'm not even going to say what I've spent but I need to use some papers up to make way for the new ;o). I also need room for the brads the buttons(anyone would think I had no buttons!)oh and the....!
I'm not even going to go there. Yep you guessed it.. hubby is at work!

Any how back to my christmas cards, as you can see its got a blue theme going on and I just love the "Diamond Dust" I bought from The Hobby House. You cut out snow flakes with acetate and cover with glue that dries clear and sprinkle it on and you get a wonderful sparkling effect, although I used clear glitter glue and it has given it an even better effect..The blue flowers and snowflakes are also from T.H.H.. Jill has some wonderful things there. So if you live close to Cleethorpes or Grimsby here in the UK drop by and take a look and tell Jill that Lynn has sent you...!
I have coloured with my whispers pens today and also used a touch of Shimmerz paint for a bit more of a christmas feel...
Hope they don't make you feel too cold.. although a bit of cooling off is nice..

I got to play... It has been far too warm to decorate
anyway, don't you agree.....I knew you would. Lol..!
A woman of my way of thinking!!!
So The pink stripy card I don't like at all, but the strawberry card I do. The only thing wrong with it though is I know I have some strawberry charms..Somewhere ;o) if you know what I mean...I should sort things out.. maybe tomorrow.!!
What do you say??next time I use the strawberry stamp I may just decoupage it to give it some depth..
