4) I love the colour orange.

5) I never remember the correct words to songs.

6) I write poetry when going through bad times, never any other time.

Willow Sketch on Craftbubble No.2

Here is a card I made for the above challenge. Another great sketch from Sharon.

By the way Sue, sorry its orange!!

Willow Sketchie Challenge No. 3

This is the card I made for the Willow Sketchie Challenge. Sharon did a great Sketch for it and we had to doodle on the card too. I found this a little bit of a challenge but I am really pleased with how it came out.

Nearly on 1000 hits on my blog, so as promised I have some goodies to give away to you lovely people who visit my blog. I really enjoy reading your comments and appreciate your visits. For your name to be entered into the magic choosing bowl please tell me what you would like for christmas this year.

Last day to post is Friday 28th November at 12pm (midday).

Where It Happens.

Thought you would like to see where I craft. Now before you say anything about the carpet, we are renting, so naught to do with me! LOL Of course if you like the carpet, well good for you! LOL

As you can see, poor old me has to make do with the dining table, shared with Daughter 1 when she is on the comp. I tend to put things away every so often so we can eat at the table, although just lately we have been naughty and have not been doing that. I do try and keep it down to the bare minimum I have out, and just walk back and forth to my room, this is where the majority of my things are. Good exercise I suppose as I always forget something!



Above are two cards I made just for fun. The papers are from Sharon who let us have a freebie on the craftbubble site. Her site is here and you can find her shop here. They are lovely papers and I really enjoyed doing them.

oooooo Look Came For Me Today!!

Some lovely crafting goodies from Donnas Den of Crafts ! Also they gave me some lovely freebies because I was their first customer on there! Thanks very much Donna most appreciated!! :0)

Let you into a little secret, you will be seeing some of these yummy things up for grabs soon! :0)

Last Minute Card!

Had to do a card for my Daughters friend who is 16 tomorrow! Daughter liked it which was good as I did not want to do another one! lol The card with the cats on was one I did the other day, just for the fun of it. Anyone notice what backing paper I used?? Yes the stamping up papers!! lol

This is one for a special friend of my Mum's, hopes she likes this one! lol

Two More Cards For Mum!

Have made two more cards for Mum to choose from. Mum was not too sure about the first one, I think that it was not the traditional colours that threw her! lol Let me know what you think, the one with the doily I am not sure about, well actually truth be told I do not like it! lol Some you win some you lose.

Christmas Card for Mum's Friend.

Thought I would show you a card I made for my Mum to send. She wanted an extra special card for a friend. As usual I make a few for Mum to choose from, this is the first one. Not sure if the photo show it at its best. I like it but not sure if it is special enough.

Thank you card.

Hi de hi bloggers!

I have been busy making christmas cards, have to get some more ribbon though to finish them off. I will be going to get that tomorrow. I have however finished a thank you card that I can show you. I was trying something different with the ribbon and also the layout, I think it works! lol
