Holly Jolly DT - Embossing

Hi peeps

If you're up when this is posted at 5am you're either mad, an insomniac, in another time zone or getting ready for work.  Me ... I'm asleep!

If you're wondering where my embossing is, look closely at the diecut in the middle and you'll see the little embossed dots.

Morning everyone!

Hope you are all well and raring to start another week.  Some of you may know that I run the OLL challenge blog but Wendi gave me special dispensation to only design a card when I could.  Well, this fortnight I could cos I love the Faithful Friends CD (and all the others produced by OLL!!!)  Why don't you pop on over to the blog and join in the fun with the talented DT.

Housework and ironing on the agenda today, boohoo!

Hi!

Oooops, this post was still sitting on Draft instead of me changing it to Schedule.  Not to worry, got there now.  

I have a voucher for Afternoon Tea at one of the local restaurants and thought Mr C would come with me this afternoon but he said he'd rather not as all the sandwiches would have lettuce on them and it's something he just hates!  Instead my pal and I are going so I'm off now to get organised.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Morning!

I'm really chasing my tail this morning.  I completely missed making a card for this challenge so it was up with the lark and get one made!  I'm quite pleased with it in the long run ... my usual CAS!

Granddaughter stayed over last night so I'd better go and see if she's awake and get her home to get her work clothes before 12.

Enjoy your day!

Hi!

I seem to be lurching from one DT challenge to another just now.  I had planned to have a crafty day on Sunday but that didn't quite pan out as hoped.  It was a gorgeous day so I changed beds and got them out to dry then my friend popped in and of course we sat and chatted, ate Easter biscuits and made some jewellery!  Tomorrow always is another day but unfortunately catches you out now and again!

Today is time for Team B's challenge at Moving Along with the Times.  The theme this time was chosen by Tammy and I hope the gorgeous cards the DT have made will inspire you to join in.

Scheduled post today as I'm off to Dundee with my friend to meet up with her sister, lunch then an afternoon session of Bingo!  Fingers crossed we're lucky.

Hugs

Morning all!

Mr C is doing an extra shift today, starting at 0800 so I'm going to have a crafty day as he's not finished until 1600.  If my bestest buddie's hubby is watching footie or rugby on TV this afternoon she's going to pop in to make some jewellery with me ... and have a natter and a cuppa!!!

Enjoy your Easter Sunday.

Hi peeps!

How remiss of me, I completely forgot to post my DT card this morning, must be the sunshine gone to my head!  What a beautiful day, let's hope it lasts for the rest of the Easter weekend at least.

It's been a busy old week in my world but I'm hoping to have a lazy, crafty day tomorrow.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Hi everyone!

Sorry blogging has been a bit sporadic recently.  I'm only just catching up with myself since Mr C and I were down South visiting friends.  We had a lovely few days with them and the weather was sunny and warm which was an added bonus.  We came home last Tuesday and the time has whizzed past since then.

Yesterday I was at the Dancing on Ice Final Tour at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow.  The show was wonderful and Torvill and Dean danced Bolero which was spectacular.  Unfortunately the venue left a lot to be desired considering it was only opened in September 2013.  I can only describe it as a football stadium with walls, dirty concrete ones at that.  Having travelled from Perth the first thing my pals and I wanted was a cuppa, not one cafe to be found with seats so we had a "fine dining" experience of eating chips on top of a bin ... class!  Rant over!

This morning I was busy doing housework, then I did some jewellery making to take to the school fair and now I'm trying to catch up with blog visiting and some DT work.  Goodness knows how I ever had time to work.  Enjoy the rest of your day.

Hugs
