Handmade bracelets

These were all made last week for the shop but I forgot to add them to the work I showed off!:) I love making jewellery, especially now I have the shop, I use it as my way of unwinding.

This bracelet was actually made for a friend's daughter's birthday.

I also made

but it sold straight away. I bought the large pearls in New York in March and am having real trouble trying to find them over here, they measure about 36mm. This necklace goes from dark grey through to white but the photo doesn't pick them up.

Right, I must go and get ready for work.
Thanks for looking xx

My beautiful baby!!

How's this for a stunner? I know I'm biased because I'm her mum but I thought she just looked absolutely gorgeous for her prom last night and much older than her years (she will be 17 in September.) as did her beautiful friend

DDis the one in the yellow dress which we bought from Macy's in New York in March when we were over. She is so glad she got it then as three people turned up in duplicate dresses. She got an award too for 'Collecting the most air miles when buying a prom dress' lol

Back tomorrow :)

Rosie-Dee's reveal

Yes, it's that time again...to show the our challenge projects and to remind you that there is still time for you to enter our prize challenge.

Lyn's theme is St Georges Day or 'just red and white' and I chose the latter.

The sentiment is a rub on from DCWV stack that I've had for year (and keep losing then finding :)), the flower is made using a Stampin Up punch and a piece of card candy from Craftwork Cards the punched border is made with the new MS punch I bought in New York last month and everything else is from my stash.
Thanks for looking and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you create.

I'm hoping to have some news on my lap top tomorrow.....if they can't repair it but can just get all my work etc off it it will be a bonus. Fingers crossed.

Update

We got back from New York on Tuesday evening and I have felt dreadful since. I have a lousy head cold and a hacking cough which seems to be my souvenir from The Big Apple (still I suppose it will last longer than the '10 for $10 Tshirts we saw all over lol) Seriously though we had a fab time and it was lovely not to have been in a rush this year as we were last March. DD2 managed to get her prom dress in Macy's and a pair of Ugg boots that she had had her eye on for a while so we had one rather happy teen which made for a happier holiday. DH bought me some new Crocs(!).....I now have five pairs of real ones and a pair of fakes (for gardening) and they are all different styles.

 Edited for Rosie with the back view of the shoe :)

 

These are my 'wedding fayre' Crocs to wear with my suit! I have three to do in April so will be on my feet all day and need to be comfortable.

Now as per usual, I'm playing catch up. I am desperately trying to get through my 404 emails and 23 phone messages and I have loads of work leading up to us going away which I didn't have time to show. But right now it's bed time and I will be back in the morning with my (very late) DT cards from early this week. I managed to get them done and in before we went away but couldn't figure how to schedule a post..dur!!

Another quickie

This time the card is for the challenge on the Passion For Promarkers blog. the colour combo for this challenge are Grass and Canary.......not quite grass and a canary, more like a frog and a lily pad, boom boom :))

Materials: DewDrop Digi stamp, Sizzix frog, Promarkers, papers - My Mind's Eye, googly eyes, Ribbon - Ribbon Oasis,
buttons from stash, sentiment - pc

I loved this image and it screamed Sizzix frog at me!! The image is part of a flower set sent to me a couple of weeks ago by Nikki from DewDrop Craftz and is one of the new Digiz sets recently added to the site. Don't forget to check out the new challenge which goes up on Tuesday.

I don't usually get involved with controversy on my blog but this evening just made my blood pressure rise somewhat! Was Mr Cowell unfair this evening? I think so, I certainly don't think Lucie deserved to go at all, I think she has a lovely voice, has been consistent all the way through and seems to be a really nice girl and that's all I will say, read into it what you will LOL. I shouldn't even have an opinion as I'm one of the ones who don't vote until the final :( I love young Joe and Olly though :)

That's it, I'm down off my soap box now so onto a brighter note......my dear, darling beloved hubby has only gone and booked to take us back to New York in March :) We found when we went this year the three days just wasn't long enough to see what we wanted to see (DD could've spent three days in Macy's if I'd let her!) so we are going again at the end of March but this time we are going for FIVE days.....woo hoo!!

Right o, I have some work to finish before I hit the sack so I will see you soon. Sleep tight and thanks for looking. xx

Colour Create

Challenge #3

We would like you to make your card or project this week using the colours red, white and blue. There is an extra option available which you can use if you wish, although this isn't compulsory. This week's option is 'Holidays and Travel'

I don't think I can claim the extra option this week although people DO play football on holiday and you DO have to travel to get the ball! No? Ok then we'll just go for the colours LOL The image is one of Sally-Ann's downloadable images from Grab-A-Doodle-Do coloured with Prismas and Sansador, the football is Quickutz and the ribbon and buttons are from my stash.

My darling hubby has just booked me a late birthday pressie.........he is taking DD2 and myself to New York for the weekend on 20th March, it's actually 10 days after my birthday but who cares! :) We are already booked to see Simply Red in concert at the end of March (he's taking myself and a friend) so I shall be thoroughly spoilt this year.

DD has been whinging for a couple of weeks about going on holiday and how she can't wait till August when we go to Cornwall (typical teenager!) Anyhow, he has said for year that he would like to take me as he went in a previous life ;), he asked me last night, I sat here until 2 am trying to make my mind up.......then he came home tonight and booked it. Looks like I'm going now LOL

Right, it's almost bed time so that's me done for another day.

Take care, speak soon.
