Christmas on Sunday

Hi, me again!

While the rain is battering against the window there's nowhere better than the craft room.  I've got another couple of Christmas cards to share with you today, at this rate I'll soon be able to stop making them!

Nothing on the agenda today unless the rain stops.  Keep warm and dry everyone!

Christmas on Sunday

Hi!

I'm back again with another couple of Christmas cards for my self imposed challenge on a Sunday!  We have decided not to go anywhere today as it's blowing a hoolie and hissing rain.  The house is the best place to be on a day like this although I might just brave it later on as Aldi have baby wool on special offer and I could do with some so will pop down and have a nosey.  Mr C will have to brave it too as he's got his four-legged friend to walk.
Take care!

Hugs

Christmas on Sunday

Hi everyone I'm back!

Before Christmas I was doing my own Christmas post on Sunday so I thought I'd start again and get my box filled up before the December panic sets in.  I know I've loads of time but you can never have too many Christmas cards.

We had a wee while this afternoon when the sun was shining and Mr C managed to get out with the dog but it's back to the same old again.

Hi peeps!

Hope all is well in your little corner of the world.  I'm going to have a lazy day today as I was busy every day last week and I'm needing a rest before I get back on my mad merry-go-round tomorrow again as I've another busy week ahead!

The challenge at Christmas Cards this week is one of my favs, a very clean and simple one layer card.  I really enjoy these kind of challenges as it stretches my imagination and I have to say, I'm very pleased how this one worked out.

Enjoy your Sunday whatever you're up to and will see you again soon.

Hi!

I'm back again with the Crimbo cards I've made this week!  My box is getting really full but, with a craft fair in December and 3 weeks in Spain before that, I'd better keep going!

All the paper I've used on these cards was a giveaway I won from Dies to Die For.  Tracy also very kindly popped in some die cuts so I'm looking forward to using them too.

Hugs

Christmas on Sunday

Hi my blogging buddies!

Another miserable day in bonnie Scotland.  It's been raining since I got up so I decided I was having a day in the craft pod.  Mr C is having a lazy day so all is well within our dwelling!

As I said yesterday, I've had a busy few days and I must apologise for my lack of commenting ... note to self ... must try harder!  I've excelled myself this morning, I've five, yes five, cards to share with you today.  When I've finished this post I'm going to get started on the new Hobby House kit that dropped through the door the other day.  It's every bit as fabulous as the first one and I can't wait to play.  The beauty of the kit is I can follow the inspiration and everything I need for the 12 cards is there at hand.  I'll share with you when I've finished.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Hugs

Christmas on Sunday

Hi peeps!

Christmas on Sunday seems to have become a regular occurance for me and I'm rather enjoying myself!  Mr C has just left the building to go to get his hair cut so I decided to do this post then some ironing.  It is a never ending job and as I can only stand for 1/2 hour to an hour at a time, I never seem to get to the bottom of it.  Please don't suggest sitting to do it, I've tried that and can't!

There's nothing exciting going on in our household today.  Mr C was going to cut the grass as it was lovely and sunny this morning but by the time he'd had brekkie and taken the dog for a walk the blasted rain had started ... again!

I forgot to mention that my crafty problem of 11 weeks old has been resolved by the supplier. It has not been resolved the way I would have liked and customer service certainly isn't part of their remit.  Suffice to say I will never again buy or use anything from Polkadoodles.

I've three Christmas cards to share today so here goes!

See you tomorrow.

Hugs

Woopee!

Morning!  Wow folks, that's another month of 2012 hit the dust, where does the time go?  We had another busy day yesterday.  In the morning we ordered our new kitchen (the one we have is 20 years old!!!) which will be installed once we are back from Spain so you will no doubt hear all about it at a later date.  After that we went to Callander to pick up my car which is all sorted and thankfully didn't cost me an arm and a leg!

I'm going into town this morning to get some bits and pieces and then to the hairdresser in the afternoon so that I don't have any grey hairs showing when I'm on my holibobs.  After all that I can't see any crafting getting done today but hopefully tomorrow.

Hugs

Hi!  Another card for the Christmas box!  I'm going to make my cards fairly simple this year so there's no problem posting them when the big day comes.  The sun is shining here at the moment but the sky looks a bit watery.  My friend and I had a very productive afternoon yesterday, lots of crafting, talking and of course coffee and cake!!!  Hope you enjoy your Sunday.

Christmas 2012

Morning!  The television was so rubbish last night that I popped upstairs to the craft room and did some creating.  There are still a lot of Christmas challenges on the go so here's the first one for this year!  Pink Petticoat have a sale on just now so a few things fell into my cart.  I was itching to use them so this was a perfect 'excuse'.  Today I'm going to get the house back to normal and the Christmas decorations packed away for another year.  It seems to have gone very quickly this year but I have to say, a good time was had by all.  Hugs x
