Hi

Hi all in blogger and crafter land......sorry for not posting for a long time......but after some serious health issues I now am part way back to creating little by little.....takes me a long time now to make items so no photos as of yet to put on my blog.....just a quick note to let all u know I'm back to taking the helm of my crafting and hoping to post in the next couple of days items I've been making....

Crafty weekend

Been really crafty this weekend.....making lots of items for my craft stall I'm holding at work...loads of tags.....cards....notelets and notepads....please feel free to leave a comment....

Craft Fayre

I've been really busy over the weekend making cards to sell on my stall at work...we are having a craft Fayre to raise funds...I've started with making cards for men as I find these the hardest...the images are lilli of the valley and stamped into mottled card......coloured in with prisma pencils....thank for looking....feel free to leave a comment

Gift bags and matching cards

I decorated these gift bags and made cards to match for my friends at work...I made the toppers using Microsoft office and using papers and items that I bought from nitwits....they where printed onto thick paper and then cut out......

I then placed small gift inside.....some smellys from m&s and a Lindt chocolate reindeer.....my friends thought they where amazing..feel free to leave a comment....xxxx

Hi

Hello everyone sorry for not posting for a while....had so much going on....since last time I've
posted my eldest daughter has passed her test.....and bought a brand new car...this had problems itself
as she only had it about 3 weeks and the gearbox went faulty....finally the garage after trying to fix
it decided to give her another brand new car in its place.....also my youngest daughter left school
and went to her school prom..she looked amazing....and when she goes back in September she will be in sixth form....can't believe where all the time has gone.....anyway I've decided from now on I
will post at least once a week....that's the plan anyway.....thanks for reading about my ramblings....
anyway that's all for now please feel free to leave a comment that will be much appreciated....xxx
