Hi friends. Have you missed me? I've missed you!
I'm only back temporarily though as I think it will soon be time to start packing up!
I've never been so stressed in my entire life!
I'm NEVER moving house ever again...but Boy! will it be worth it when it's all done and dusted.

Hi freinds.
No card today I'm afraid.
Just thought I ought to let you know that we are selling our house and moving to a bungalow in Wales.
I had no idea how much work was involved!!
I'm shattered! LOL
There's one room I can't do much with though and that's my craft room.
It is a mess, but to pack it all away would put me in hospital!
I just hope that anyone viewing our house can see Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16471213092781652196noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438966501114295420.post-30133273131677227472015-03-05T07:33:00.001+00:002015-03-06T13:23:43.890+00:00For Mum

Hi friends. I hope the day finds you well and in good spirits.
I've all of a sudden decided to use some of the pots of Frantage I rushed to buy moths ago and never used!! (I'm good at that)!!

Hya Friends!
Today, I finally did something with a pattern I got of the Silhouette store.
I loved it in the store, but didn't love it so much after I cut it out!
I left it lounging on my desk for ages, but finally thought,
'either bin it or do summat with it Viv'!
So I took a wooden stamp by Stampin' Up!

No, I haven't gone daft.
It's a new year and a new set of challenges over at
Christmas Stamping All Year Long folks.

I LOVE making Christmas cards but usually can't get me mojo in gear until about September,

It's time for a new challenge over at In The Pink.
The theme for this challenge is ....'Love is in the air'
For my card, I CASED THIS fabulous card I found via Pinterest.

It was a nightmare!! LOL

How's the snow at your neck of the woods?
Back to the usual here, melting and slushy. Yak!
Loved it while it was coming down though. I'm a sucker for snow.
OK, a few days ago, I made this card for my DH's nephew....
It's a blatant CASE of a fabulous card by Karin Akesdotter.
(She's one of my heroines).
The background is done with a Hero Arts massive wooden stamp.

I swear this wasn't pink on purpose!
I saw the gorgeous cut-out card in the Silhouette store and had to have it.
99cents or 60pence for a lovely design is a bargain in my eyes!
Well, I just automatically grabbed some pink cardstock to add contrast!
Why didn't I pick orange, blue, green?
I reckon Christine, of In The Pink fame has secretly brainwashed me! LOL
And here's the proof!

Hi everyone!
Are you freezing? I am! Brrr
Don't know how I'd get on in the northern states of the USA!!!
It's VERY Siberia-like there at the moment!
We've had the usual dusting of snow, now you see it, now you don't!
It's rubbish.
What to do? Play in your craft space/room.
That's precisely what I did and I made this.....

Hello friends. It's good to see you.
Macclesfield is going to grind to a halt 'coz we've got a quarter of an inch of snow!!
WOW! THAT much! LOL
My town is rubbish for snow. We are so close to the Pennines that they must shelter us from it.
If you have PROPER snow, keep safe and keep warm!
Good job I have a craft room to bolt to!

Hi friends!
Long time no post.
Sorry, I've been quite poorly with a rotten chest infection.
Christmas and New Year were both non-events to all intents and purposes.
Then once all the Christmas cards were taken down, and the prospect of not making any for months, made me lose me mojo a tad!
WELL NO MORE!!!
I've been invited to join the Christmas Stamping All Year Long Challenge blog!!

I'm suffering with the 'Flu at the moment and it serves me right!
I'm in the 'at risk' category and opted not to have my 'Flu jab!!!

I have never felt so ill.

Getting ready for Christmas with a vengeance now!
But first, I have two birthdays coming up tomorrow.

I have a mystery for you to try and solve today.
I have had this amazing sprite/elf/ fairy image for EVER in my digi stamp collection.
I cannot find any reference to where it originated.
Does anyone recognise it?

I have Google imaged it, but it was like a sewing pattern.

It was the hubster's birthday yesterday. He's daft on cowboy films and books etc,
so thought I'd make him a cowboy type card.
I kept it simple 'coz that's how he likes 'em.

I'm so sorry, but I've been AWOL due to acute, bordering on chronic, tooth pain!!
