Suzy Bee's DT - Clean & Simple

Morning everyone!

I thought summer had arrived yesterday as we'd a brilliant day but unfortunately today normal weather has resumed.  My Aunt and I went to Helix Park, Falkirk to see the Kelpies.  Wow, they are truly stunning and even more beautiful with the sun shining on them.

The Kelpies

All my family, except myself and granddaughter, are off to Glasgow today to the Scottish Cup Final as our local team, St Johnstone, is one of the teams playing.  They have never reached this stage in the cup before so fingers crossed they triumph as winners.  The city has really embraced the excitement and have decorated a roundabout, near our home, with scrarves.  All the trees have a scarf tied round them and the Grouse in the middle of the roundabout even has a tammy too!

  

Last, but by no means least, my Clean and Simple card for the latest challenge over a Suzy Bee's. 

Off now to put the kettle on in readiness for our daughter arriving.  She's driving with Mr C through to her brother's house in Callander and then they're all off together to Glasgow.  My son's friend and his wife are even coming from New York for the match!

  

Enjoy your day whatever you're up to.

Morning!

What are you up to today? I'm meeting up with my daughter.  We haven't had a good catch up for a while so over lunch we will put the world to rights.

Enjoy your Saturday whatever you're doing.

Hi everyone

Firstly, a very big thank you to all my blogging friends and commenters, you make crafting worthwhile and I don't say often enough how much I appreciate your visits.  

On now to this week's challenge at Suzy Bee's.  It's any Anything Goes so please join in!

Today is going to be a catch-up day ... more ironing, washing, housework and hopefully I'll manage to squeeze in some baking.  It's been all play this week and today's the day it's caught up with me!  Not to worry, I've got tomorrow to look forward to, an afternoon with Mr C and our son and DIL.  It might be an afternoon of work mind you as they had trees cut down last night and they've all to be chopped up and stored, ready for using next winter ... or the one after that!  Mr C has to take bags with him and we're getting a load of wood to bring home for our store.  I know there'll be a delicious meal at the end of it too!

Enjoy your day!

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 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 all!

Well, Oban was an experience.  If it had been dry and warm it would have been lovely but we had wind, rain, hail, sleet, snow, thunder and lightening ... all in one day!  Thankfully we had taken our waterproof coats and hats with us so all in all it was OK.  There were plenty of cafes to duck in and out of!

Here are two views from our hotel window -

Sleety snow!

Across the bay when there was a break in the weather!

On now to what I should have been doing before I left ... making this card for Suzy Bee!  I thought it was done as I'm a bit ahead of the challenges but for some reason this one got missed.  Anyway here it is now.

Hi de hi!

How are you all this fine morning?  I'm off to Arbroath with my friend today.  Her granddaughter is in a drama group and they are in a competition today at 5pm so that's the reason we're off to the seaside!  Forecast is set fair so we're going early to have a browse round the shops and something to eat before we take our seats.

Hope you enjoy your Saturday whatever you're up to.  Take care!

Hi one and all!

I forgot to schedule this last night as I was out with family and our granddaughter's friends for a meal as it was her 16th birthday.  Where have these years gone?  Anyway, we all had a lovely time and she was throughly spoilt as always.  I'm actually sitting here with a cuppa by my side along with a piece of birthday cake (no calories in it, ha ha).

It's time for another Suzy Bee challenge so here is my offering.  Off now to have a play.  Mr C is away to work, it's hissing down outside and all the housework is done so I think I deserve it.

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.

Hugs

Hello!

Another two weeks has sped by and it's time once again for Suzy Bee's challenge.  I hope you will find time to join in with us.

My Aunt and I ended up in Stirling yesterday as it was blowing a hoolie and rather wet so that was the best place to go as the car park and shops are all under cover ... result!  My shopping consisted of hair spray and hand wash, wow, last of the big spenders!  I did some window shopping in Debenhams though in readiness for their next 20% off weekend.  I really really object to paying full price for things nowadays as lots of shops have 20% events.  I only pay full price if it's something I need there and then.

Well it's housework morning and craft room afternoon. Mr C comes in from work at midday so I'll try to be quiet while he's asleep.  Best get a wriggle on so that all the noisy stuff is done before he comes home.

Hugs

Hi!
I'm definitely losing it!  Another card that I've put into Drafts and forgotten to activate ... ooops!

What a lovely day we've had, dry, sunny and not particularly cold.  It's been a funny old winter we've all been having.  Last night we must have had a couple of inches of snow on the ground.  This morning it was slushy and by lunchtime it was gone.  Thank goodness mind you as I was meeting up with my friend for lunch.  I wasn't sure if I'd see her today but we managed :-)

Off now to get caught up with some other postings.

Hugs

Morning all!

Don't know where this week has gone, I've been busy all week and blogging hasn't been on the agenda!  I was out yesterday with my Aunt as I usually am on a Friday and guess what ... we had SUNSHINE!  Wow, what a beautiful day.  Unfortunately it's back to normal again today, dreich is the only word I can use to describe it. (For my non Scottish friends that means grey, miserable, damp and generally horrid!)

My best bud is off to America next weekend for 6 weeks so we're meeting up today as she'll be busy getting ready next week.  Oooh, what will I do when she's away, nobody to lead me astray!  I might actually get down to some serious crafting.

Best go and get organised.  Hope you have a lovely day and stay safe and warm.

Hugs

Morning peeps!

I really don't know where all the rain is coming from and my heart goes out to those who have been flooded out for weeks.  My aunt and I went to Stirling yesterday, it's a great place when it's horrid weather as the car park is within the shopping centre and you never need get cold or wet!

Son and DIL are staying the night tonight.  They are playing in the Scottish National Badminton Championships here in Perth this weekend.  Fingers crossed they do well although my son isn't too confident.

Nothing else to report today.  Keep warm and stay safe.

Morning!

Ooops, I can't believe another week has gone and I haven't lived up to my own resolution of posting more often!  I just never seem to have long enough to sit down in the craft room and actually create.  Once I've popped onto my favourite blogs (and got sidetracked of course!) I've run out of time.  Maybe next week will be more productive.

Hope you all have a lovely day whatever you're up to.  Our granddaughter stayed over last night so I'll drop her off at her Saturday job then I'm meeting my friend for lunch ... no wonder I never have time, I never seem to be at home.

Take care.

Hi one and all!

So much for trying to blog every day ... I'm not making much of that one!  I must try harder but I always seem to be doing something and my days just disappear.  Today is no different, I'm meeting my daughter for lunch and a catch up.  Although she only lives 10 minutes from me by car I don't see her as much as I'd like as she has a busy life too.  I certainly don't know how I ever had time to work!

Enjoy your day whatever you're up to.

Hugs

Hello!

Hope you are all managing to stay dry and safe.  What awful weather we've had for the start of 2014.  I hope this is not the shape of things to come.

I am going to try to get back to blogging on a regular basis but am not getting myself into a position that I'm getting stressed about it as that isn't conducive to enjoyable crafting.  I just wish I had an outlet for my creations as I feel it's such a waste making loads of cards and not doing anything with them.  Tell me what you do with yours!

On now to the first Suzy Bee challenge of the year.  I've just done a clean and simple one but this year I'm going to try to be a bit more adventurous ... maybe!

Hello all!

I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas and Santa was good to you.  I was spoiled, as usual, and we had a thoroughly enjoyable day.  It was so nice to have all my family under the one roof, something that doesn't happen as often as we'd all like.

I'm off out with my friend for lunch in a wee while then a little sortie into town.  I got money from Mr C to go to my fav jewellery shop and, yippee, they've now got their sale on so I'll get more for my money!  I've also got shoes to pick up from M&S that I've hankered after for a while and were in their sale online on Christmas day, £20 off, so of course they slipped into my basket!  Unfortunately I haven't had time to look at the craft sales but tonight may be the night as Mr C is working and there's nothing worth watching on TV.

Anyway, on to the purpose of my post, the latest challenge over at Suzy Bee's which has been chosen by my lovely teamie Erin.  Hope you'll join in if you have the time.

Have a good weekend!

Hugs
