Looking for the door

They say one door closes and another one opens. Seems a door has just closed for me so I am on the lookout for one to open. Will let you know what happens but at the moment I am just in the hallway, too scared to open anymore and really wanting to just go back into the door I came out of. All the while the bulldozer is outsidewaiting to smash them all in anyway!! LOL

Yes I am talking rubbish, I know what I mean but I cant really say much else.

Hoping to get on well with my prep today, maybe a little something to share with you all. Till later

EDITED TO ADD : sorry this is so down a post. I like having this blog to express feelings, mostly they are happy, fun, weird ect but today I was feeling down this morning, did wonder if I should delete it but decided not to, just to add I am looking forward to finding the door and I am hoping its wonderful!! I am thankful for family, friends and health, I should remember that.

Quick Hello

Haven't had time to craft today. Popped to The Glitter Pot to grab some papers and card for my classes next weekend. On the way back we all went to Tulleys Farm. Fun place for the family with loads of halloween decorations, people dressed up, things for Harvey to play on/in and a maze around a cornfield, inside were scary things like gravestones with skeletons, a part that said beware lion and all russling and growling noises from the corn (I was a bit freaked!) LOL, loads of snakes and hissing. A pitch black tunnel which you walk through and there is a big bang on the top (I screamed) LOL I think it would be better in the dark but might frighten the boys too much not to mention me :) So that was nice :) Got to prep tomorrow for my classes so wont be able to share those until after the classes.

Speak tomorrow my crafty friends :) Cazx

Feeling hungry?

A trip down memory lane for uk peeps

Yummy, wish all I could go back for the day and the biggest problem would be which 1/2p sweets to choose!

Thank you Cresta!!

My Bella Sistah Cresta sent me a fantastic package of lovelyness :) It is just perfect! I love it all. So girly, so pretty, so mine ;0)

Firstly are the rub ons, wow these are fab! Then there is bling.... a girl can never have too much bling. The Heidi Swapp brads are lovely, the ghost flowers FAB, I havent got any of these and it might hurt, but I cant wait to use them. The brads in the tube are yummy, colours are perfect for me. The card is great, I love clickabella, I havent used her yet but I do love her. And the flowers, again, can't have too many flowers can ya? When I get flowers like this in little baggies I tip them into a plastic container I have full of mixed up flowers and just dip into them when I need to, I love having so many to choose from. Opps and I did forget the ribbon, love it! Those fun spots are great.

Here is a closer picture of Cresta's Card.

Thanks Cresta, cheered me up no end. Stressful times here at the moment and to have something like this in the post for me made me happy :)

Chocolate...

Nope not what you eat.... some to look at on this chocolate and aqua Magnolia card :0)












I love this little girl, this is an image I got from Kim (Ta mate) I used watercolour pencils to colour it in. The swirls are from The Glitter Pot and are a sizzix long die (fab), ribbons in the criss cross (again) and some zoomz and glitter to finish. Oh and the fabby flower was a gift from my NSSS from the Cricut forum Sherilyn

Magnolia revisited - Christmas or not?

Magnolias are beautiful and I havent had mine for that long but they were put away and some un-inked so I decided when I took the boys up for bed last night I would go into my room and make a card. I was pleased how it turned out :)

This card could be Christmas, could be everyday... I love the colours.

I have seen this cross done with ribbons on a few blogs, I really liked it. The beautiful flower and star was from a Prima bottle that my mate Kym got for me from Alley Pally, Thanks Kym, they are stunning!

The paper was from Craftwork Cards. And I paper pieced her top and hair ties. Enjoy!

Spinner unit for sale

** still available **

I have this spinner unit but I dont have room for it. It is fab for of course displaying cards for sale but also holding cards on a workspace. C6 cards and envelopes fit as do those old bazzill scrappacks and half a4 pieces too. I believe it has 4 things on each side and 5 sides. I used to keep colours in them, like all the red together, all pink, ect ect it was great to keep on my desk and just grab bits. I am selling as I havent the room, also I have a new thing I need to save for. I wont be able to post this as its too big. So it would be collection or I can take with me to somewhere I am working. I am wanting £25 for this. It cost me at least double.

So who wants to help me make some space and some money for my next venture :)

Kim and Samm...

havent forgotten your challenge bits..... I have a fab thing to send you! You'll both hate me :) LOL but its different and will be fun and after all, I have to do it too!! Ohh and Samm I owe you the NER too :) havent forgotten just been busy.

Great News!!

SU Manager has said YES!!! So I can be a demo :))))))))))) VBG

Were you worried?

Missing for two days! I have been busy with all this SU business. thing is I dont actually know if I can become a demo now. There is a part of their agreement that could mean I cant do it coz I already demo, I dont need to tell you all how gutted I would be. I have spoken to Paula, the Manager of SU UK, she was lovely and got me even more excited about it. Part of me is trying not to think about it, the other part can't stop! As a side note Paula seems to think it will be ok but is awaiting to speak to "legal" in the USA about it! I would have signed without saying anything but I think some people being spiteful would have grassed me up!



So with my SU head on I made this cute little book, I am guessing these papers and stamps might not be part of our catalogue, ours will be much smaller and these are new items so will probably not be in our catalogue, but I had them and wanted to use them. I used my bind it all and the SU tab punch for the inside (oooohhh I hope they have some of their punches in their catalogue). it was sort of a quick job as I was desperate to make a book but didnt have and bits for it really. IF SU lets me sign I will make it my SU info book and have already designed printed pages for it, if not I am not sure, I will come up with something.

My house is a mess....

So what do I do when Harveys at school? Make a card what else? Takes my mind off my previous post. I coloured this adorable Bella in last week so I just had to quickly mount it up today. The sentiment was one of those cheapy stamps from those bins at Crafts Central, I love it, nice sentiment, text and I love the way its in a circle, sometimes it is worth a rummage through those things.





The flowers are Bazzill wings from The Glitter Pot the centres of the flowers are zoomz from Stamp Galaxy apart from the one in the yellow flower which is a Bellas Bauble from Creative Pastimes. You cant see it well in the photo but they are green, orange and a browny colour.



Here is Harvey having a cuddle with
MingMing. We had a look yesterday and we are sure she is a she :) which I am pleased about. Our old rabbit Stamper wasnt good to handle and he was a BIG lop eared male. he wasnt "done" and he was a bit of a bruiser and used to squirt if he got the kids near him so it wasnt nice. Harvey is pleased to have MingMing to cuddle. It looks like he is squashing her! but I can assure you he wasnt :)

I am sad :(

Silly Mummy Alert!! Harvey is going to his first Harvest Festival at a local church. He didnt go last year as his was in nursery, but this year as one of the bigger boys :) he has to walk up to the church and do the festival thing there. I really wanted to go and be a walker to walk him up and of course watch him and join in but I have Caiden and as they only gave the note last week about it Darren couldnt get time off to look after little man. Its nap time for him right now so it wouldnt have been a good thing to take him. So I am a sad mummy and cant stop thinking about it :( Of course I can go next year, but it was his first one, it will never be his first again.

Moan over, I cant see to type, how silly am i?
