An excuse to make cards

Hello everyone. It has been ages since I have been on my blog as I have been quite busy.I have been on a couple of holidays as well as working a lot of shifts at work which has meant that I have not only had time to make cards but I haven't been able to update my blog. However on Saturday I had a little accident whilst pegging the washing out, which has resulted in me breaking my foot. After visiting the hospital on a couple of occassions over the weekend they have since put me in plaster and informed me that I have to wear this for 4 weeks and have 6 weeks off work. Therefore I now have a great opportunity to make loads of cards ready for the Christmas fayre which myself and my sister are doing in November. I have already been purchasing craft goodies off the internet to get me back into card making as I think I was losing my mojo. However all is good as yesterday whilst resting my foot I stamped some images and coloured them in with my copic markers. Today I think I might do a few more and even have a go using my new nestabilities. I will keep you up to date with my progress. Speak to you soon.

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
