Not a Mucky Pup

I took Annie to have a wash and trim today - doesn't she look lovely - shame about the sun in the car making a shadow but a lovely pic I thought.... missed taking Jess too but another hurdle over !

More Cards

Some more Christmas Cards- the Father Christmas one is with Teresa Collins papers - (I decoupaged and glittered a few of the Father Christmas heads, but you can't really see them ) - and the others are a mix of Fancy Pants Happy Holidays paper and die cuts and the snowman background one is Imaginisce ...loving the new season's stuff ...

A Couple of Cards

I felt like escaping when I came back from hospital visiting this evening, so I went up and made a couple of Christmas Cards. I think the papers are My Minds Eye but I'd cut the bottoms off earlier and can't remember now! I've also just realised that the Christmas word has fallen off the bottom of the tree card .... all going very well !!

Been Cropping

I took a few hours out today and went to a crop - managed to do three layouts which was great. There was one kit and two classes using the same papers and for the third I made a layout of me using a sketch designed by Dawn Inskip. It was really nice to have some time scrapping and feel a bit better for having done them. I'm going to have a go at some Christmas Cards in the next couple of days .... and I've just realised I've put the wrong date on the Portugal layout,it should have been Nov 2007 - oops !

Time for Scrapping

I lost my oomph over the past week or so as it's been a very traumatic time, Mum is back in hospital, Dad had an eye op which was a bit of a disaster but he's on the mend now and as you may have realised by my pic posted earlier that we lost one of our beloved dogs - which was not expected. Anyway - I decided after reading an email from my friend Deb that I should be doing some scrapping or crafting or something - the latest kit from Studio Calico was sitting in its box over on the table so I had a play with it this evening,and feel better for it! It's been end of the month time work wise too and that meant stuff for me to do at home, so now that's over I can hopefully get back to crafty things late evening again...

God Bless little Jess I'll miss you

A Crafty Weekend

Have had a lovely weekend although busy, went to a class at my local craft shop and made some traditional Christmas cards and then today have been at the first Crop for Keep it Crafty run by Sue and Dawn where I did two layouts designed by Dawn. We have a very sick dog at home tonight, she's not been well for a week or so , I took her to the vet's last week where she was given antibiotics and now she seems to be much worse, hardly moving at all and looking very sad, I hate to see her like that so it's straight on the phone to the vet tomorrow morning.

I'm back in the swing of it all now craft wise and am aiming to definitely make my Christmas cards in time this year - instead of the mad rush I always seem to be in ! I missed Ally Pally this weekend too which was a bit of a pain but I guess I saved some money ! Oh and also back to some challenges too...
