A Few New Cards At Last

Hi

Hope your all okay and keeping busy crafting. I have been busy card making and other crafts too. So I thought I'd better show some on my blog.

This is a Mo Manning Digi Stamp. I just love her designs I think she's very clever.

This one is from Crafter Companion cd rom Female hobbies.

This one is from Crafters Companion Popcorn the bear range that I just love and it's the stamped image.

This one is from a Polka Doodle cd rom Back to Nature which is fab as some of the images on there are the front and back of the animals. I just the Nikki's designs her new house stamps are ace.

I've also done a Cross Stitch for my Mum's 80th Birthday, I've not got a photo of that one. I'll have to ask Dad to take one for me. I'm also in the process of knitting a bear for our nephew (he's only one year old and he's so cute and cheeky). I don't remember his two older brothers been so cheeky when they was his age. He's our 11th nephew and niece between the two families. I never get bored of making things for them all though.

Hope you like the cards. I'd appreciate any comments or tips please. It would be nice to know that someone is reading my blog.

I won't leave it so long next time as I've got lot's more things to add.

Workshop

A Belated Happy New Year

I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year. We went to Paul's Auntie's for Christmas Day and Boxing Day and was meant to be going to Hull for my Mum's 80th Birthday but, unfortunately Paul got the flu bug that has been going round and his Cousin has in the last couple of years has qualified as a Doctor and told him he should go to A&E which of course he wouldn't, she said she hadn't seen worse cases in her hospital in London. So home we had to go. He was really bad. I don't remember him been that poorly before. He felt a bit better on New Years Eve so we went to his Dad's for the evening and came home New Years Day. He didn't get properly better until he went back to work on the 4th January (typical). We are hoping to go to Hull in the next couple of weeks to take my families Christmas Presents and Mum's birthday present. Mind you they did have up to 2 ft of snow before Christmas and was still there until the New Year.

Today we went to a "Stampscapes" Workshop at BJ Crafts in Tilney St Lawrence, Norfolk. We had a lovely day and when I get chance over the weekend I'll add the pictures we did. I really love the stampscape stamps you can make some amazing scenes.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Hi

Here's another card I've made recently. It was for my Father-in-law's birthday. He has his own building business so I thought the builder image from Crafter's Companion's Occupation Male CD Rom.

Hi everyone

As promised here are a couple of photo's of my brother's party:-

This is my brother on the right with his wife Angie in the blue of 25 years. The rest of the gang is there kids and partners etc.






The second photo is my dad, mum brother, myself and my husband Paul.

The third photo I love and at some point will be going in my family tree album when I get round to doing one. It's my dad, brother, his eldest son from his first marriage Daniel, then there's Ben and Tom so 3 generations.

So I'll leave it at that for now.

Hello

Hi

Hope your all okay and keeping well.

I'm sorry I've been a bad blogger. I don't know were times goes, I can't believe it's been May since I last posted on here.

Well what's been going on here. We've been to my Brother's 25th Wedding Anniversary Party which was a fantastic weekend, we went over to South Cave near Hull and all stayed the night in the Hotel it was in. Paul took the photo's for them for the evening and I've done a Scrapbook of the event as a present for them. I love Chris and Angie to bits and their family we had a lovely weekend with them all and it was great to see some of their friends who I've not seen for nearly 12 years + and couldn't believe how much their kids have all grown up. How time flies.

Then we had a Family Christening on Paul's side of the family his brother Mark and wife Clair had a little boy they've called Harley. They already have two other boys Joshua and Callum who are fantastic children. It was a hard day as Paul's mum died 3 years ago today and things have been tough to say the least with his Step Dad who was meant to be treating the boys the same and he's not been doing a very good job and Nanna Bailey and Paul's Mum's Sisters haven't spoken to Paul's Step Dad for a long time. It's a long story as these things usually are so I won't go on about it. But it all went off okay and Harley never cried (bless him) and it was nice to see everyone on Paul's side of the family.

A few weeks after that we had a family Wedding on Paul's side of the family this time it was just on his Mum's side of the family and we were really looking forward to it. We stayed at Paul's Auntie Eileens for the night and took the dogs with us, so Paul could have a drink for a change!!!. We had a lovely day and the wedding went along lovely. It was one of Paul's Cousin's (Becky) who was getting married she looked stunning. When I get the chance I will post some photo's of it.

We haven't had a proper holiday for about 5 or 6 years now as we live away from family with Paul been in the RAF we usually end up visiting family for our holiday. Paul's mum bless her had a 5 year struggle with cancer and as I've mentioned she died 3 years ago today, and we used to try to visit her or my family when we could. My brother (I have 3 older brothers) who's Anniversary we went to owns his own appartment in Spain. I haven't flown in about 20 years and and between my Mum, Paul and my brother tried to persuade me to go.

To cut another long story straight we went recently and had a fantastic hoilday it was just what we needed. We haven't enjoyed a holiday so much as long as I can remember. The area, appartment and weather was fantastic. It did my back and skin the power of good.

Paul's been busy at work and has been away with work and is going away for 3 weeks.

So there you go along with crafting and card making I've been trying to do inbetween all this which I will get round to putting on my blog now things seem to be calming down a bit.

Talk again soon.
