A long time away!!!!

Oh my, it has been such a long time since I updated my blog (nearly a month)so I thought I should write something to let you all know that I am still here. I havent been making many cards lately even though I had a lot of card goodies for my birthday. What with the lovely weather we did have I didn't want to be in doors so my card making was on hold for a bit. I have decided to make some cards tonight but unfortunatley haven't got round to it yet as I have been surfing the craft websites for even more things to buy. I have tried to be good girl and not buy too much as I should really use what I have. If I get round to making some I shall put the pictures on tomorrow. Watch this space. x

A wet but very enjoyable birthday!

Hooray, it was my birthday yesterday and I had a lot of lovely presents off everyone; so I would like to thank everyone for what they bought me. I had a lot of exciting craft goodies off my sister Sarah and I had a cuttlebug and some other bits and pieces off my husband. I think with the money I was given I might invest in some embossing folders or some nestabilities as my sister makes some very nice cards with hers. I was very impressed with the card I had off my sister (she even matched the colours she used on the card with the wrapping paper) Myself and some of my family went out to the Black Country Museum last night as it was a special one-off opening. We did have a good time, however we did get a little bit wet as you can see from the photos I took. Overall I enjoyed it and I hope everyone else did too. I will soon get making some cards with the stuff I have been given so watch this space. x

An Awful Lot of May Babies

May is a very busy month in my family for birthdays so I have been making a lot of birthday cards for my in-laws as it is their birthday in the next couple of weeks. My husband asked me to make one for his dad, his aunt and one for his brothers girlfriend. I still have to make a couple for my cousin's as it will soon be their birthday too. I am just thankful that he my husband didn't ask me to make my own birthday card as I will be turning 24 on Saturday. I wonder what craft goodies he has bought me. How exciting!!!

A long time away

Well it has been ages since I last updated my blog, what with working nights and then catching up on jobs I haven't had time to do much. In the last week I have managed to make three cards which my friend asked me to make for her. It was a bit of a challenge to make a couple of them as she asked me to make a new baby card and a wedding card; both of which I had nothing for, so it was a good excuse to pop to a new craft shop I had found and spend some money. I quite enjoyed making the new baby card as it was different to any normal card which you might be able to see from the photos. Luckily my sister was able to help me out with the wedding card as she has plenty of wedding stamps and papers. Talking about my sister many of you who visit her blog might be aware that she has been having a tough time lately what with the bad news about George and the fact that she has been ill herself. I would like to take this opportunity to let her know that we are all her thinking of her, George and Anthony and I send her all the love in the world. I don't know where I would be without my big sister. Here are some pictures of George a few days after his operation. I think you will all agree he looks remarkably well after his big ordeal. Get well soon George. xx

Easter Madness

I have decided its about time to make some more Easter cards as it is only a week away. I had a look at the different layouts on the various websites and thought I would give them a go. I had a lovely time this afternoon trying them all out, I even got my hubby involved as I was asking him if the papers I had picked went together. I am enjoying my new copic markers however I think it was a bit of a mistake purchasing the set of 72 as I now have too much choice and it takes me twice as long to pick which colour I want to use. I might not get chance to update my blog for a while as I am going to be on nights at work this week, so I would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter. Don't eat too much chocolate. x
