About time!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for being so patient with me, as I sit here amoungst a mountain of things to do still, somehow I feel much calmer now I'm writing to all of you.

Life got so busy here, I took on extra classes and parties to keep up with demand and found myself running just to keep up with everything. I used to cut up all the bits for a class a week in advance and recently found myself still chopping bits at 11.00p.m. the night before a class or party - I hope you didn't notice!

With all the extra classes and other things I said "yes" to, something had to go and it was my blog that you all noticed - so apologies for that. All the rest of the stuff I shoved to the bottom of the pile will just have to wait until the summer now!

Whilst writing this, I've had a call and have to head away tomorrow for a couple of days so will try and 'post' again when I return.

Until then, here is a little something I've made recently:



and this is just one picture of one of my recent Stampin' Up deliveries of ink for all you lovely ladies now lovin' our super duper ink pads:



Wishing you all a very peaceful Easter. Will update my blog and email you all as soon as I'm back.

Happy crafing and thank you all for your continued support.

Busy again.........

Hi Ladies,

Just letting you know that I haven't forgotten you! I'm just up to my eyes in work and stuff at the moment and need to catch up!

Sorry to keep you waiting and I do know that this blog needs updating, but I am only just little old me and could do with a whole load of staff!

Keep smiling.

Will post something soon, I promise.

Happy crafting.

Scrapbooking "Grunge" style - page one


I posted a photo over the weekend of the front page of my Grunge style mini album. This is a picture of the first page. Again I have used mostly Stampin' Up stash with just the addition of some rub-ons (I've had for ages!), mini diamonds and some kitchen foil.

I love these butterflies, they are a Stampin' Up Embosslits die, only available in the USA at the moment, lets hope we get them soon! My wonderful friend sent me the die and I was extremely grateful.

I'm taking the day off today, I tried to yesterday, but it didn't happen!

Have a great day.

I'm on a roll....


This is like waiting for a bus, you don't get one for ages and then all of a sudden, there are loads of them!

While I've been messing around with "grunge" and trying to mix Stampin' Up with products I've had in my cupboard for years, I've just come up with these two lovely cards. Enjoy!

After a good nights sleep......


It was pretty late when I started this project last night. My daughter had a couple of her really lovely friends over for dinner and it wasn't till after they had gone that I decided to "work"! I took advantage of my completely tidy and clear table and got a whole lot of different stuff out and I was pleased with what I had made, which is why I posted it onto my blog late last night. But after a good nights sleep, I got up and wasn't so pleased. It only took a few minutes to work out what this page needed.....I hope you like it.

Have a great crafty day.
