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.........!!

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......

Worst Photo Ever

Just a quick posting today, just to let you know i'm still here..

The card today is using a digi image by Mo Manning. I had to remove my last post with a picture of one of her images as there was no water mark on it. Mo has already had problems with her wonderful images being sold on by people who did not have permission to do so. it was a mistake I had made and asked if it needed to be removed and I did so straight away.. The photo today is not fantastic but I had to make a card to show you one of her beautiful images. If you have not already seen her work you have to...... Mo has stamps coming out soon too. I'm saving already to buy some as soon as they are out... She has a group on PCP and it has already gone over the 400 members mark.......

Leave some love and tell me what you think...

I still have a touch of flu but hope to be back on track soooon..

Card Day...

I made a few cards yesterday on World Card Day although too many to show you all at once so I may keep some for a rainy day....

The sailor boy is a stamp that I bought from Bunny Zoe Crafts a few weeks ago. I had dressed the card and had not found the right image to go with it until now.... I don't even remember the paper I have used. It's not very often I use peel offs any more but as I have that many of them I thought I best use them.... I wanted to keep the card simple and not go over the top as I usually do..Lol...! I'm adding a close up of the flowers to show that I have screwwed them up and then opened them out and added a bit of bling...

I hope you like him as much as I do... I'm not sure which other card to show you so can't say much about it... I will choose when I get to add my photo..

Dinner is nearly ready so I'm going to sort it before it burns for a change..!

Leave some love and call again soooooon...

Someone to make my tea..!

After a bit of sleep some pain killers I'm feeling a little better, although it's a good job I'm typing and not talking as my sore throat would not last long ( what do you mean you're glad i'm not talking... cheeky!). I thought I would finish a card to show you...

the papers are Lemonade by Basic Grey and am just about at the end of them. I may have enough to make some small cards.. The image was sent in an RAK and is one of a few I'm reluctant to use as when they have gone they are gone..Lol.. what are we like with these H&S images we treat them as if they were worth millions.... ;o) They probably are...to anyone not living in Sweden.. I have used my Sekura glitter pens on them as you can see, although the photo looks more glittery than it really is..

The nice big flowers and the charm are from The Hobby House.. The ribbon is from my mega stash from Craft Zone the button i'm not 100% sure where they were from..

Well I'm making some soup for my tea as everything I have eaten this week I have not tasted much so just want soup although it will be from a tin I do love to make my own vegetable soup all through the winter months.. I best show you the card and leave you in peace... Leave me lots and lots of love...
