May Flowers

Morning!  Just a quick post as I'm off out with my friend.  We are having a trip to Dunfermline today as neither of us has been there for years.  We've had lovely warm weather the past few days so hopefully today will be the same, fingers crossed!

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone! I didn't manage to blog yesterday - it was a busy day.  I had to visit someone about wedding stationery and then I went to see my Aunt.  A lovely day was had although the weather was pants.  It's blowing a hoolie here today and there's rain blowing through, methinks a day in the craftroom is in order but I have to add, I've already had the hoover and duster out and the washing machine is on so I don't feel guilty!!!

Aqua Flower

Morning!  I hunted high and low for this stamp and came across a whole lot more that I'd forgotten I had ... isn't that awful. I have to confess that's it's first inking too.  I'm going into town later today to get some shopping or Mr C and I are going to starve.  I've also to get a birthday pressie for my friend and I still don't have any inspiration.

Hugs

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

Hi!  I managed to grab a few hours to myself today so I've been crafting and started watching Series 1 of Downton Abbey on DVD.  I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.  Mr C and I spent it with our daughter and her family and we had a great time.  Santa was so good to all of us, we're very lucky.  Although it's not New Year yet I've made a resolution ... I'm doing the inside of my cards as I go along so this one is the first!

Christmas Sparkles

Before I go any further with this post I want to say sorry for the rotten photo.  I hate having to take photos in artificial light as I never seem to get them clean and sharp and there never seems to be enough daylight just now anyway.  Been in Livingston today with my daughter who was doing her Christmas shopping as she's on holiday.  She was very lucky as she got nearly everything she wanted - and didn't pay the full price for anything!!!  

It's got quite cold here tonight and the wind is blowing a hoolie.  Once I've done this I'm cooking tea, getting the wood burner going, tv on, knitting out and feet up!  Poor Mr C, he's working!  Hugs x
