Heart Punch Cards!!!

Did pretty well with all of my jobs today. Packed loads of cards, made some more and packed those, tidied up a bit and then spent the rest of the evening making Christmas toppers out of my bits basket.
I'm at work tomorrow and Thursday and then off again until Tuesday.........I could get used to staying at home all of the time but unfortunately that don't pay the bills.......lol!!!
The cards I have posted tonight are just some I put together to use up a bit of glitter card I had left over from something else. I think they look quite smart even though they are very simple.

Would just like to say thanks to Patty Jo for all of the lovely comments she left on various cards on both of my blogs. That was so kind.
And to Sarah.......ooooh yes.......I have read Angels and Demons several times as I have all of Dan Brown's books and hubby is about to treat me to his new one......can't wait for that.
Can't believe that there are people out there who actually like Staffordshire Oatcakes......I thought it was just my hubby......lol!!! I only have to look at one and I feel sick but if I touch one..........oooooh I just can't bear to think about it.

Anyway I think I had best get off to bed if I have to go to work in the morning. After five days of pleasing myself it going to be tough having to get up.

Thanks for dropping by.

For Sale....One Husband!!!

Ooooooh he's dropped out of favour today I can tell you so all those ladies offering to take him off my hands after the Sunday lunch.....you can flippin' well have him.
I sent him out this morning for a pack of AAA batteries for my camera......just those....nothing else. He came back with........a newspaper, a tube of tomato puree (we just got a new one on Saturday), a packet of disgusting Staffordshire Oatcakes and no bloody batteries. So I have a stack of cards to take pics of and a dead camera. I'm off out looking for toadstools tomorrow....lol!!!

I got loads done today anyway. All of the prize packs that I have details for are packed and ready to go to work with me on Wednesday. I sorted out all of the made up cards that need inserts and packing........another yuck for that job. Sorted my glitter card into bags so I just have to pull out the colour I need.........looked like a fairy after that although you wouldn't want me sitting on top of your Christmas tree........lol!!!
So I worked like a demon all day then came down and cooked the evening meal, sat down with DD to watch a DVD and started with a blummin migraine. Luckily it wasn't a bad one and once the visual disturbance had gone I managed to watch the film which was Angels and Demons. Despite what the critics said I thought it was fab apart from Ewan McGregor's Irish accent.....lol!!! Why don't they just get an Irish man to play the part. Still he wasn't bad on the eyes for a Monday night..........ha ha ha!!!

Well I am off for a mooch around BlogLand for half an hour and then to bed to get my strength up for a mammoth card packing session when I get up.

Thanks for dropping by.

K & Co Anniversary!!!

I've been ploughing through my stack of K & Co papers again and making up some general anniversary cards. Normally I don't use these kind of stickers but they came in the bargain pack of papers me mate Gert picked up for me and I thought they were too pretty to not use them.

The tag has been cut from the front of a printed card blank (never quite sure what to do with them) which came in a PaperMania bag of goodies. I've inked around the edge with a deep coral

and then gold before adding the punched and folded circle top. The little postage stamp has been stuck onto a piece of acetate and trimmed right to the edge to save cutting around all the fiddly bits. This was then attached with a foam pad.

I have five days off now and need to spend a couple of days catching up on housey stuff during the day including a mammoth freezer filling day on Saturday then crafting in the evenings if I am not too whacked. After that I will have three glorious days to myself......yay!!!

We've had internet problems since last night but all is sorted now so I'm off to catch up on a bit of surfing and a looksee if there's anything on the Iplayer thingy to see if there are any cookery programmes to catch up on. I have just caught up with Economy Gastronomy which is fabulous and Hairy Bikers which has me in stitches. Watched some Nigel Slater last night before the internet went down and that was pretty good too.........oooooh I feel a Domestic Goddess session coming on..........lol!!!

Bye for now.
