A few more pics.

The backing paper is waste from a friend who was marbling with a group of children at school, the magpie effect set in. A first xmas card for the lollipop ladies Grandson turned into a mini book. My first attempt at a book. I used the Joanna Sheen messy rabbits. I'm taking it into school to raffle. And my first attempt at a candle, I suspect there will be more (loved the process).

Wednesday 5th August

Yesterday was a busy day, hairdressing in the morning at a friends, then off to deliver some cards at my friends house who has an endless amount of friends, who actually love my cards. She is one of those Saintly Ladies who will always be there for you, whatever your need is she'll try and help. After my visit it was off to place money into my daughters hand for a driving lesson, prepare tea, jewellery class, finish off mornings hairdressing, take Sam (my daughters boyfriend home and finally sit down at 10.00. At 10.30 my ever enduring hubby went to bed.

Here's some pics of the hidden gems that were found in the garden.

Sorry forgot !!!

This is my1st attempt to link to another site (my little world has been very quiet so far).

There is blog candy up for grabs on Pink Gems bolg page. http://pinkgem-janet.blogspot.com/

Janet Roberts is a talented artist, the quality and conent of her stamps is beautiful. Good luck.

Catching up with the days

On Saturday I was very selfish and took hubby and Amy to Gateshead flower festival. I'll post some pics later, the displays are out of this world. Craft section leaves me thinking why didn't I enter something.

Sunday was spent catching up with the ironing and inserts. I'd rather be doing something else than ironing and I'd rather be making cards than inserting. My very dear friend needed a little support as her Grandad, (who lived with her) died last week. She's finding it hard as they were very close. He was a man who was loved very much by all his family. Had a little drink with her last night.

Monday. Today is my hubbies birthday. Made and bought him cards as he doesn't recieve many. We've been bowling and to pizza hut, (advantage of having older kids is they don't throw tantrums any more when they get beaten). Well going to finish off inserts now.

Friday 1st August.

There was an awful thunder storm last night. Was awake for most of it. Amy had a driving lesson it's her second 2 hour session. She seems a little more relaxed. Went over to teesside park and booked bowling for monday as it's bri's b'day. Ordered bits and bob's from mad about as i had a 5 pound voucher. Amy was out with Sam at another 18th. Watched BB and picked her up later. I'm making Jayne N M cards at the moment, loving the results.

Thursday

Was quiet in the house. Stripped the kids beds it was a lovely morning. I spent most of the day sticking up those stupid fly stopping stringy things at the doors. Driven to distraction by beep beep flies. Off to card class to make a waterfall card. Prepared the flowers on my cricut before i went. I was pleased with the results.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Wednesday. In brief we had a day of gardening, cleaning and card making. Hubby was on nights so didn't feel guilty for sitting making cards.

I've been very busy, so here's a few more pics.
