WOYWW

This is serious!

You have been warned.......this post is so serious that it has it's own sub-heading!!

I joined the new bloggy/Facebook challenge - a Card a Day blogging (with a difference - the difference being that it's not really a challenge more of a foot up the back side of like minded shirking bloggers :) It's really to encourage us to restart our daily creating and blogging and more importantly visiting the lovely people who leave us comments.)

I've got the creating off to a tee as you will see shortly, my problem is that I have trouble finding the time to blog what I've made therefore I don't leave my link. I need to get back into it properly and take 10 minutes after I have made my project to add it to the blog and to comment on those above me.....that's the theory anyway.

So now onto my workdesk (the really serious bit. If you are of a nervous disposition please look away now.

Yes folks, it's that time again, I'm making Christmas cards and how I find anything in this mess is beyond me but I actually know where everything is lol I really need to tidy up quickly though as I'm at the opticians this afternoon and have a lady coming to see me this evening about coming to make her Christmas cards, if I leave it like this she might just run a mile :)

Right, you've had a nosey at my room so now you need to call over to the blog of Mrs Dunnit and add your own.

Thanks for looking, back soon. xx

My top 9

I realise that I said I would be back with my top five Christmas cards but it has taken me until now (on and off) to choose and can't get down further than nine, so here goes

I hope you like them all. I will edit later to list all the materials used.
TFL, I will be back tomorrow with my news as I would like to see out the old and see in the New Years on a high :)

Happy Birthday to you

I can't believe it's almost a week since I last blogged, I'm sure the time thief has struck again. So what's been happening? Welllll.........
I seem to have lost the ability to spell lol (I've written two lines so far and corrected three spelling mistakes).

I have been delivered a fair sized blow on a professional level which in turn has knocked my confidence, but I hope it is something I can put right.

A friend celebrated her 40th birthday on Saturday which needed a special card and prezzie, DH celebrated his birthday on Sunday so we all went out out for a lovely lunch and today my baby girl is 17! I don't know about losing a week, I'm struggling to find where the last 17 years disappeared to!

Tracy's card

All papers and image are from Pink Petticoat, image was coloured with Promarkers and everything else was from my stash.

I made DH's birthday card for one of my challenges on Rosie Dee's challenge blog before we went on holiday and it can be seen here I will add his cards from the kids tomorrow as I haven't photographed them yet.

DD2's birthday card

Another Pink Petticoat card with the addition of ribbons and a candle from my stash and Doodlebug rub ons.
