Ooh La La DT - Faithful Friends

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 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

Hi peeps!

Hope you are all well and enjoying your day.  Nothing much happening in our household today.  Mr C is working until midnight and my granddaughter is staying over as her Mum is doing a nightshift so I suppose I'd better go and rustle something up for tea!

Catch up with you again soon.

Hi Peeps!

How are you all this morning?  It's a better morning here in my little corner of the world and the sun's actually trying to poke it's head through the clouds.  Roll on Spring but I fear we may have a little of the white stuff before that happens!

Nothing much happening in the Campbell household today.  Mr C is on call so can't go far from the house and I've got a date with Mr Vacuum and Mr Duster!  It's a hard life but if I get a wriggle on I'll have the afternoon to play in the craft room.  Enjoy your weekend.

Howdy there peeps!

It's a spooky challenge this fortnight at Cards for Men.  This one was really difficult for me as I don't do halloween.  It certainly is becoming more popular these days but certainly not when I had little ones in the house!  I quite like the card I've created as it's not too gruesome!

Less is More

Hello everyone!

Well it's a miserable, dark, wet morning in my little corner of the world.  Methinks it's another day in the craft room.  Yesterday I made quite a few cards for my craft fair box and I got inspiration from the very talented Jules on some quick, easy but stunning Christmas cards so that could well be what I'm up to later.

Thanks to everyone who sent good wishes yesterday for my hospital appointment.  All went well and the consultant thought I may have a blocked tear duct and wanted me to wait to see the nurse and have it flushed out. Unfortunately, as Mr C was with me and due to start work in an hour, I couldn't wait but have to go back on 22nd to have the procedure done so fingers crossed all will be well after that.  My eye isn't sore or anything but it's just so annoying when it does run and I feel I have a paper hankie permanently in my hand when I'm outdoors.

What a rotten sleep I had last night.  I was really tired so popped off to bed whenever New Tricks finished at 10.  I was asleep by 1030 but woke up around 2 and the last time I looked at the clock it was 0457 and I hadn't slept a wink, needless to say I could have stayed in bed this morning!  

Off now to get ready for the day.

Hope you have a good one.

Hugs

Hi everyone!

Missed yesterday, busy day with one thing and another.  Central heating boiler serviced, Mr Tesco delivered shopping and dog to vet for annual MOT ... all go in the Campbell household!

Today I've been in town to get buttons for the cardis and beads to make some more bracelets.  Mr C was up at silly o'clock this morning as he'd to be on the 8.10 train to Glasgow for a safety briefing, he wasn't a happy bunny, he doesn't do early mornings any more!  

I've a cute little fellow to share with you before I post my card.  I've crocheted him for the baby that's due as I'm getting all the vibes that it's a boy without actually being told!  I've a white one in the making should it turn out to be a girl!

   

Onto my card for today now and just a wee word, I might not be around tomorrow as I'm out with my friend and we're meeting up with her sister so goodness knows where we will end up ... I'll let you know though!

Hugs

Hi everyone!

Hope you've enjoyed your long weekend.  Every weekend's a long weekend for me and I love it.  I love not working and being able to do so many things I didn't have time for when I worked.

It's been a busy day today.  Mr C and I went out for lunch and when we came home he got the lawnmower out and I got the hoover and duster out!  The grass had really grown these past few days between a bit of warmth and plenty rain.  The trees are beginning to get their green coats too so the world is a brighter place even if Mr Sunshine doesn't want to show his face.

I haven't had time to play in the craftroom today but here's a card I made the other day.  

See you soon.

Hugs

Morning peeps!

Back to winter again ... brrr.  Hope you all had a lovely weekend.  We enjoyed our time with son and DIL yesterday.  My son had a look at laptops with me and I've ordered a new one.  Can't wait as this one is so slow and some of the keys stick which is really annoying.  Will be on the lookout for Mr Delivery Man later in the week.  I'm off out today with my friend.  I haven't seen her for nearly 8 weeks as she's been stateside on holiday so there will be mega chat!

The card I have to share today was made with one of the new collection from Clearly Besotted.  I followed Stephanie long before she had her company and I love her style.  The collection is all about feathers and they stamp so beautifully.  Hope you like!

Off to get ready for my looooong lunch!

Hello!

Wow, another beautiful day.  I'm just home from town and couldn't get what I wanted.  I wanted little round white stickers to put on the ends of my promarkers but there is a distinct lack of stationers here and WH Smith didn't have any.  Will need to pop along to the office supplies warehouse as I've no doubt I'll get them there but it wasn't on my route today!  

I got the idea for this card from Pinterest.  There is so much inspiration there that I can't keep up!
