Zzzzzzzzzz

Bad night last night, now I regret telling Harvey he can come in our bed, just meant I had two wiggling boys in there and you would not believe where I ended up in bed, I was horizontal across the bottom of the bed at 5am this morning with Harvey horizontal across the top and Caiden horizontal in the middle!! I moved them back and then fell asleep til the alarm went off at 6am. I have a 2 hour drive this morning. I hope I feel more awake later!



BUNNY UPDATE! MING MING IS A FAT LADY BUNNY!! basically she has a big baggy chin!! LOL She needs more exercise and yes HER mounting my male guinea pigs is "normal" by all accounts if you are a rabbit. Of course now is drier (cough cough) or should be drier I can let her out more... Might need to get a bigger run. or let her run the garden. My only worry is that when we had the male guinea rabbit he ate the garden, and I dont want that.


Last night I had to pack to get ready for todays classes, so whilst there I thought I would have a quick play - here is a Lily and Milo stamp that I got from The Glitter pot, isnt she cute?? The words are Hero Arts.

Better go and get ready for work. Oh BTW a HUGE thanks to you all for getting me there over 100000 hits.... I'll sort out some yummy candy soon.

YES I am showing off!!

I have moved my hit thingy right up to the top. WOW 100000 hits.. that is a lot. Have I really bored you all that many times?? When will the torture end??

Well, my day has taken a fab turn... my keys.... in the sideboard drawer... there was me checking my boots, the fridge, the washing machine, the crisp box, all the places I have previously found dummies and drinks and they were in a drawer?! well thats kinda normal isnt it?

So I have got my shopping, filled my car (almost) for the first time ever! I put in £55.01 in , thats over $100 for you USA peeps, and I have a smallish car, peoguet 306 diesel our prices are HIGH!! It wasnt quiet full but nearest it has ever been.

I got home and I found a lovely packet from www.funkykits.com basically a thank you package of their new designs as a thank you for getting their product in the magazines. I am always very appreciative of shops that do appreciate you for the promotion I and others do in the magazines. So a HUGE thanks for Funky Kits and stop by their website where they have new Maggie and Hamish stamps for sale.

I have to take Ming Ming to the vet, bunny has a very large lump on its neck. Wish us well.

Come on' make me smile

I have had a rubbish morning so far. I have lost my house/car keys, so Harvey was 40 minutes late for school. On the way as we were marching so fast he fell flat in the road, thankfully he wasnt too hurt, but his little sparrow legs were still shaking 10 minutes later! My plans are out the window as I have no car! With the problems with the petrol strike thing I think people are panicing about fueling up, I cant get there and I NEED petrol for a 4 hour trip tomorrow so if I cant get any I am stuffed!

I have scoffed a choccy biscuit and having a cuppa, I am trying to CHILL but hormones dont permit sometimes do they?

I have a story to tell you about my trip to Creative Living yesterday to pick up my unit, and when its in place a photo too, but its too heavy for me to carry. I picked up a little something extra and FREE yesterday there, but its sort of scary too!

Anyway, make me happy, come and look at my blog today I am sSOOOOOO close to 100000 hits!!

More lovelys

I was lucky enough to be playing with the Magnolia stamps last night at my class at Crafts U Love.. here are the two cards we made.

Opps... I havent got a photo of the second one, I remember now that I wanted to take a better picture and then didnt.. not to worry. Look on Crafts U Love's blog later and I expect it will be on there.

I love this tilda, she is Tilda in summer Swirl... the colours we used look very autumnal dont they? I paper pieced her dress to match the back piece of this Z fold card. I cant stop making those at the moment!!

Blogger is bad! But Lily and Milo are GOOD!

OK there are weird things happening with blogger. But if you run here you will see that Lily and Milo are good to go!!

I have one of each coming,... will you choose First Love? My Little Friend or Puppy Love??

Hmmm I couldnt choose.

Happy Shopping

First move about

In the palace and I must say it looks better. TRying to make room for the paper thing I brought from CL in their closing down sale.



I have a few things for sale....



2 wooden cassette racks - £6 each COLLECTION ONLY SOLD

Bellas.... All sold apart from snowboardabella - £5 for that one please ;0)

Still places tomorrow night

At Crafts U Love for my Magnolia class... why not come along, it makes a lovely evening, 7pm to 9pm on Wednesday and we will be making two lovely Magnolia cards. One will be using a beautiful summery tilda with a pritty paper pieced dress and the other will be with one of the fun Edwin Trolls.. they really are cuter than their name. I know some people have a proble with the Magnolias due to their lack of face! These trolls have noses and mouths too, kinda a cheeky look about them. Remind me a bit of my boys and all the mischief they will get into. These classes are really relaxed and fun so come along and join the fun!

Fab day

The weather has been lovely and we have spent all afternoon in the garden. We desperately needed some time in there but each weekend it has been nice I have been working and when I havent been its been raining. So we have had a major tidy and its looking nice now. OK it wouldnt win garden of the year, with all the toys ect but its looking like a nice family garden.

The pigs and Rabbit have had a lovely munch on the grass, I moved their hutch to their summer place, the ballpit balls have been placed into a big bag and are on freecycle! (warned Harvey, if they didnt pick them up they would go) and he being a lazy wotsit was happy to let me pick them up and give them to someone else rather than pick them up! I have planted a few plants, popped them on the patio all in all a good day for the last day of the school holiday. I even got to potter around in my Palace, I didnt make anything but moved bits about, tidied up from my prep, unpacked my Granny Bag and put all the stuff back in its place. Just cooking my Sunday roast and we will be having that in about 10 minutes!

Hope you all had a lovely day too.

All girls day

I was at the Glitter Pot today teaching two classes. We made 2 Magnolia cards and 2 Penny Black ones. The mood was very girlie with these images and everyone seemed to really enjoy their time and made some lovely recreations of my designs. So here they are....



You cant see on this one above but the right hand side has been cuttlebugged and the front is cut with the nestabilities. This is a cute little Tilda stamp and she was coloured with H20's. Wish I had got better photos but they are at the shop now so I cant re-take.

Here is the cute little Tilda with Bird and the fence stamp. You can see the flash picked up on the H20's sparkle.

Here is a cutie Patotie stamp from Penny Black again coloured with H20's, cut out with nestabilities. I have added a Craftwork Cards rescue words onto the card as well.

This last card is Penny Black girl meets the funky Penny Black flowers, Once again H20's, pritty papers and glitter!

Not much else to share today. Been really tired, went to bed too late, boys kept me awake and now I have a headache. Wishing for some time in my Palace but know it wont be tonight. Maybe tomorrow... Catch you later

Mixed emotions yesterday

I was lucky enough to get a preview to the sale which starts today at Creative Pastimes/Living. They had invited some special customers and past tutors to come along and take advantage of the sale. Everything in store was 50% off, everything was being sold (more or less). Theresa kept getting upset as some of their lovely customers brought in flowers and told them how sad they were so you couldnt help but feel sad too. I wish Faye and Theresa every luck in the future. I managed to get myself some great bargains including stamps, papers, punches and I was one very very lucky lady in that Faye gave me the beautiful giant bella that was on display, she now has pride of place in my Palace, looking down on my desk as I work. Oh and I also got a fab paper stand, I am yet to pick that up, I dont know where I can put it in my Palace, but I will find a space.

The sale is open today to everyone, go and grab yourself a bargain!!

Yesterday was also a day of fun with the family. Darren had the day off work and we went to the local Wacky Warehouse for a meal and then for the boys to have an hour in the soft play and ball pit. They LOVED it!

This was HALF the pudding it was a pudding to share and they didnt have a bowl big enough so brought out TWO of these. Darren ate one to himself, they boys did their best with this and I had a scummy piece of chocolate fudge cake!.

Right I had better get ready, I have two classes at the Glitter Pot today, beautiful new Penny Black stamps and Magnolia stamps too... Bliss!

Pimp my granny wagon!

LOL Thought that would grab ya! So someone, or maybe a few of you asked what I would alter next... Well me and my mum were talking about those bags on wheels. My mum is 60 -opps sorry Mum! a young 60 really. But she was saying its hard with bags ect on the buses so she brought herself a funky granny trolley. Now she said that they had "funky pink" ones.. she got a blue one, but still one of the nice modern ones. So today I went to the market and got myself a pink one. Its nice, I wouldnt shop with it, but I will be using it for my classes and parties ect as I have so much stuff to take about. I had been using a plastic 3 teir tool box which that in itself weighs a tonne so filled its even more heavy. This will (in theory) be lighter.

For those that arent familular there is a programme called "Pimp my ride" basically tarting up a normal car to something that every gansta and car freak would drool over... I thought it was a funny expression and I have seen it before when people where "pimping up" their craft tools. So from now on its not altered its pimped up! LOL altered sounds far to arty farty for me :)





So drum roll... here is my funky pink, flower power,pimped up, granny wagon!

I am not sure I have finished. Fot this I used cuttlebug cut felt flowers, Stampin' Up! Felt flowers (only USA - sorry) Stampin' Up! jewelled brads
