Like Father Like Son..........

As much as I hate to admit it, my two year old son, is the image of his father in every which way (mostly good things, but he does of course have a few of his bad points too), so when I took this photo of my husband and my son, I just had to do a scrapbook page. They are so much alike. I love them both dearly and I have been told that my son does have a few of my habits!!!!!! But that unfortunately is it! (I think that he is much more like me, but am over-ruled by everyone else!) I love this page and had to blog it, as i have not done a page for ages as I have been concentrating on my cards and 3d projects.
So here's till tomorrow - I hope to put another picture on tomorrow of some of the stuff I make with my stampin up box of goodies - when it gets here!!!
Till then x x x x
Bye x x x x

Manic treat week

I have posted today with no picture, and the reason for this is that I have had a bit of a shock week. I have been having a clear out of items (the nearest I will ever get to a spring clean) and listing them on ebay to raise some Craft funds hehe, and I have put in a nice little order with our friendly local stampin up demonstrator and managed to finally get the most wanted item - my crop a dile. I can't wait for my new order to come now, then I can make some beautiful cards and things, so this was just a quick update to let people know I am still here just busy getting organised x x
Till next time xx

Forest Friends are adorable

I have decided that I am only goin to add one picture at a time to this blog from now on, as sometimes it uploads them ok, other times it doesn't.

Well, sorry for rabbiting on (no pun intended hehe). I recently went to my friend Maria's open day, in celebration of the new Stampin Up mini catalogue and absolutely loved every minute of it. Maria and Gene (her sister) actually decided on the day to treat me to a set from the catalogue, and the forest friends was definately the perfect choice (thank you girlys). I was so excited. I decided to make this card last night, as I've been a little bit busy with other things this week, and Maria will be so happy when she see's it as I have tied a perfect bow for a change!!!! I cannot wait to make more this evening (once my little son has gone to bed!!!). Any way till next time (and no doubt more forest friend cards) bye x x x x

Easter is the busiest time of the year!!!! Up until now!!

Well what can I say - we have made a few revelations this week, one being I have realised that I could never work in a factory (the production line myself and Maria had going last week was a lot better than a factory), and the fact that carding can totally take over your life. My craft space (which is currently the dining table) has not moved for two days - which is unheard of in my house as my son has very sneaky fingers that tend to touch everything!! And I have made so many little things for easter this time

Our first cards are the "easter" lot that Maria and myself sat up till 4am to complete!!!!

And if that wasn't enough - I have made 8 cards, 8 small baskets, 3 large baskets, 10 sour cream boxes and a another 9 small box bags! I've blogged just a few here (obviously not them all) - and Maria has kindly lent me some of her fantastic SU products, which of course I have come to realise I cannot do without now, so I will have to buy my own! The pictures are slightly messed up on here, so I have left them as they are as it is too late for messing hehe.

So till later

bye xx
