Deep Joy!!!

I have had a really good day today........just for a change......lol!!!
Deb and I worked really hard at the shop and got the prep done for all of the classes for the next fortnight.....which is no mean feat I can tell you.
Then after tea I went up to do some prep work of my own and joy of joys......I felt the urge to make a card........and it's going really well. Pick me up off the floor.....lol!!!
So if you pop back tomorrow night there should at last be something to look at instead of just waffle to read.

Comments on the Blog Candy are racking up. The last time I did candy I think I had about 40 ish comments and with two weeks still to go there are already well over 150.
So get your name down on the post if you want to win.

Thanks for dropping by.

Life On The Edge!!!

Felt a bit more like my old self this morning and so have made a good start on the decorating.
I have finished the ceiling on one staircase and started on one wall but after teetering on the edge of my toenails to do the ceiling my poor old legs now feel all shaky so I have packed up for the day. The rest will just have to get done as and when now as I am back at work tomorrow.
As you can see I still have no cards to post but I am off upstairs now to tidy my desk and try to get something done.

Thanks for all the comments on the Blog Candy post. You still have plenty of time if you haven't entered yet as the draw will be on April 15th.

I Just Knew It!!!

I was supposed to be knuckling down and getting started on the decorating today but I just can't summon up the energy somehow.
Been feeling decidely 'off' for a week or so and I think I probably have a virus or something as I ache all over but most especially in my shoulders which feel like somebody has taken an axe to them. I'm going to give myself another couple of days of just pottering about and then see how I feel at the weekend.
This just about always happens to me when I take holiday.

Anyhoo.......I have just spent the day Cricuting today, cutting out loads of layers and mats. I've used up a great heap of the 300 sheet set I had from Costco and have even cut out some in Christmas colours......mad or organised.........you decide.....lol!!!
Tomorrow I shall either do more cutting or I'll make some cards and hopefully have something to post.

If you want to win some Blog Candy go to the next post down and leave a comment to be in with a chance to win the goodies pictured there.
The draw will be on April 15th.

I'm off to chuck me poor aching bod into a hot bath and then get in bed. I've had so much sleep these last few days that I shouldn't need any for the rest of the year...lol!!!

Bye for now
Thanks for dropping by.

Black & White Car!!!

Another card for ladies at the classes who like just a little stamping.
I have used Kanban tartan card for the background and for the shaped piece, a linen textured black card. The shape is hand drawn and cut out then attached to the tartan and pierced ready for the faux stitching.
The car is stamped in Versafine and embossed with clear powder before adding grey Tombow colouring to the open areas. It has been matted onto black and attached with foam pads over black grosgrain ribbon.

This was all I had time to get done at the shop as it got quite busy after Deb left at lunchtime.

You'll never guess what we were looking at today...............Christmas stamps.....lol!!!
We had a catalogue update come in from one of the companies we deal with. They were very nice stamps and I have to say that I would probably start work with them now if we had them........am I mad or what?!!!

Tonight I have been going through yet more boxes of assorted stuff and making it into cards ready for the local shop. I have slipped behind a bit so needed to make some quickie cards. I've used up my favourite bits out of some MM plastic covered flower and tag things and am now starting on my boxes of ready assembled diecuts. Hoping to find some baby things in there as I am desperately short of the dreaded baby cards and want to make heaps of them to get them out of the way.....lol!!!
Very in love with Jimminy Cricut at the moment so will be spending tomorrow Cricuting if there are no baby things in my boxes to fall back on.

Just waiting for hubby to come home and then I am back off to the attic to tidy up and do some inserts and packing........grump.....lol........I hate it, hate it, hate it!!!
