ME... ENTERING A CHALLENGE!!

The very talented Mandi over at Keep It Simple! suggested that I might enter one of these cards into the weekly challenge, given that the theme this week is 'Joy'. So I've put this one in:

Wish me luck, cos I've never entered anything before! x

MORE CHRISTMAS CARDS...

Been busy today! Well, can't go far cos the roads are icy and it's cold....!


And this little cutie is from Pink Gem and he's 'cute-iful', as Lil G would say! Thanks, Janet xx

The 'Joy' and 'Snow' were done on the laptop in WordArt and the centre pieces are all stamped using Waltzing Mouse stamps. Hope you like them xx

WEDDING GUEST BOOK

Remember the Hawaiian one? Well I've been asked to make another one for someone else. It has to be purple and white with lillies and not as 'fussy' as the other one. What do you think?

BLOOMIN' KIDS!!!

Don't you just love it when your child, on her way up to bed at 8pm, suddenly announces that she HAS to take a totally decorated jar full of sweeties for the school Christmas fair... tomorrow!??

So I found an old marmalade jar and my Waltzing Mouse stuff....

SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT NOEL STAMP

GOT NEW STAMPS... MUST MAKE CARDS!

And another one! Just LOVE these Christmas stamps from Waltzing Mouse! Been itching to have a play! What do you think? TFL x

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS CARDS!

The 'Noel' is a digi stamp by Cottage Arts from the Joyeux collection. I resized it to allow the Waltzing Mouse stamps to fit! x

AND LIL G'S BEEN COLOURING...

She chose the stamp, coloured it, laid out the card design and all I had to do was stick things on for her. Very talented, my girl. Watch out, crafters.. we have competition!! TFL x

MUM'S BEEN PAINTING AGAIN....

So I made a couple of birthday cards out of them... The snowdrops are for a friend. Hope she likes it cos I think the paintings are terrific x

LIL G'S FIRST GROWN-UP PARTY

We went to the Hawaiian Luau for our friends' wedding and I just had to share this photo of my very beautiful (and worryingly grown-up!) Lil G. Looks fab, doesn't she? Had her first pair of 'high' heels for the night too... x

IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!!!

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted! Time really does fly, and we weren't even having much fun!!
Thought I'd show you a couple of pics from Halloween..


One thing is very clear... I couldn't ever be a brunette!! We got some glowing balloons and turned off the lights... terrified the Trick-or-Treaters!!

Am hoping to get some crafting done later today, so watch this space! x
