What a week!

What a week? - I tell you!

Not a spare minute to make cards this week guys! What with shopping and last minute shopping for Christmas - buying my own gifts and everyone elses; visiting family who I don't see much of but should really see more of and seeing those who I see often.

This Christmas is going is breaking all traditions. For the past 27 years of my life I've spent every Christmas day at home with my family - this year I'm going to travel up north and spend it with my lovely man and his family. It'll be strange to have such a different day but I'm really looking forward to it.

Just in case I don't get another chance to post before (as it looks like the net won't be up and running at home til after the new year), I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has looked at my new blog over the last few months. These things take ages to build up and it's a brilliant feeling to see it start to climb the ratings, slowly but surely I'm sure we'll get there - so thank you x

Also wishing those of you who celebrate it - a very merry Christmas and wishing everyone a fantastic 2010!

Happy Holidays peeps x x

OMG!

You guessed it - the bloody internet is still down, however we are working on the problem and have moved from the crappy service of Orange Broadband to Sky, so I'm waiting for my router so I can commence the super frequent blogging!

The Craftwork Cards craft day the other week was an absolute dream - the cards and projects we made were fantastic and I can't recommend the next one highly enough - well done guys!

As I haven't blogged in ages (cos of that damn internet) I've made tonnes of cards to share with you - here's a super amount of cards to keep you going til next time.

All materials were from Craftwork Cards - check out the new fabby colours! I've not been into stamping before but their new stamps are just to die for!

Toodles x

2 more sleeps....

...until the best ever crafting weekend!! Hope to see some of you there - the Craftwork Cards craft experience of course - this Saturday 5th December.

A whole day of pure, undisturbed crafting heaven with some of the greatest friends - see you there Julie and Sue! Can't wait to catch up - not often all three of us manage to get together like this do I'm doubly excited!!

I'll have sooo much to tell you on Monday I think I'm going to burst!!!!

Take care x

Yummy Scrummy!

Well------did you check out those papers I told you about yesterday????

Well here's a few cards I made yesterday, hope they give you a bit of inspiration! They were so easy to make as everything co-ordinates together so well! There are some stamps - all chocolate themed but they hadn't arrived when I went to collect the goodies - boo hoo! Something great to look forward to though hey!

All the cards were made with papers and accents from the new Yummy Scrummy ranges at Craftwork Cards and all items are available on their website for you to devour! I'm back home tomorrow, so I'm unsure if I'll be able to post int he week due to lack of broadband!

Apologies for the pants photos - just taken them on my phone and haven't got any cropping programmes up here lol!

Oh, and before I forget, I'm off to a fan-dabby workshop day next Saturday by CraftworkCards at the Village Hotel in Leeds, there'll be workshops with Sue and Julie and all the team and even Santa is coming! - I can't wait!!!!!! I'm sure there are still a few spaces though if you'd like to come and join in the fun - details on the CWC website.

Sees ya later x

2 good 2 be true!

Well, as I sat there and committed myself to blogging away lots and lots (ie more than once a month!) and as I'd just posted the last post what should happen?

The internet died - I hate phoning Orange to sort it out as it's always so long winded but I needed the net so bad (that and the fact that my mum kept asking every 2 minutes when it would be up again) - like I knew?!? So I reported the fault to find out there was a problem with the actual broadband line - not my fault! So I'm waiting for it to get mended.

"How is she blogging now?" I hear you all ask - I'm always up at my lovely Mark's house at the weekend so I've snaffled his internet!

I'm off to use the fantastic new scrummy gorgeous papers from Craftwork Cards now:

So get your cute little butts over to their fan-dabby new website and check them out - I'll show you what I get made tomorrow! PROMISE! lol

Take care and have a fabby weekend x

2 posts in 2 days - don't go fainting on me now!

What a day! After a super long day at work and then 2 hours at the hospital with my gran there's no way I can even contemplate making a card or two.

So I thought I'd show you a couple of cards I made the other week with some My Mind's Eye papers. There papers are just gorgeous and I don't think they can ever go out of fashion.

I've used the size 0 cared by Craftwork Cards which are just 3 3/4" square. So cute and so quick to get realy good results. Let me know what you think!

Take care x

So I'm guessing...

... you might be getting sick of my apologies by now!?! lol, Well I am really sorry. It's just been so busy for the last few weeks.

Mark and I had the first 2 weeks of November off work and were lucky enough to grab a second holiday in the sun this year (greedy, I know!) so we spent our time in Egypt - we have both been before so kind of knew what to expect and got a great late deal. This is my first week back at work and OMG! What a week so far! There is the proverbial poo flying at me from all directions. Isn't it amazing that the world of work grinds to a halt when you're off and when you're back everyone expects everything to be done yesterday lol - get a grip and wait you're turn! lol -- don't they realise I have a blog to do and cards to make?!?!

I'm making a new year's resolution now (as those made in January don't often last!) (Like my logic?!?!) - ok - I MUST BLOG AT LEAST 4 OR 5 TIMES PER WEEK!!

The internet has been down at home just about all this week though so that hasn't helped my cause!

I promise I'll post you some cards this week though - just wanted to let you all know what's cracking off!

Take care - back tomorrow! x
