I am so on a roll now!!!!

Think that I have finally found my mojo and am enjoying crafting again!!!
If I am perfectly honest over the last few months I was not enthusiastic about papercrafting and was really stuck for ideas. However the break over Christmas did me some good as I am messing about with stuff and having fun again!

I am on a mission at the mo to sort through my crafting mags and use any free gifts lurking around. Also I am carrying on with the design file idea using pics and articles out of used magazines.

I managed three cards today which was actually good considering I have been at school for most of the afternoon helping out!

Tomorrow I have a child free day - something I have not had so far this week. So once all of the dg duties are done who knows what else I will get done.

Been crafting.......again!!!!

Another day and I have been crafting - good grief!!!!!!

I have made some cards today which I will post tomorrow. The sick thing is that I did make some Christmas cards. Yes I know it is only January but I did make a promise to myself that I would make some throughout the year this year rather than have a big rush in December!

The pic is of the tin I altered last night. It didn't take long to do but I really like it. I am going to use it to store my inches in it hence the wording on the front of the tin.

On a personal note I have had both of the boys at home today poorly. But they are both going to school tomorrow come hell or high water!!!!

Some quick ATC's

These were just some quick ones i did late last night (well it was late for me anyway!!!)

I quite enjoy making these and they will be inthe post tomorrow to take part in a swap.

Today has been a bit of a mish mash of dg duties and tidying my room oh and catching up on a bit of web surfing.
I have also decorated a tin to store my inches in so a pic will follow tomorrow.

Ok so I did some crafting today but........

I can't show you as it is for Traci's design team!
So here is a card from a couple of weeks ago instead!

Well I know that I have been awol for a week or so but I have been quite poorly. So poorly infact I have not been tempted by my laptop or craft room. But I am getting better and my crafting mojo seems to be making a long awaited return too!!!!

Poor George isn't well at the moment though. In the space if two hours on Friday he went downhill very very quickly and a trip to the out of hours doc was called for. Bless him he has an ear infection so is in quite a bit of pain. But today he did seem a little better then again he is on quite a few drugs at the mo so he is probably as high as a kite!!!!!

Right may go and play with some paper!!!! xxxx

Lovely day!

Well as usual (or so it seems at the mo) I am not showing anything I have made on my blog. Although I must confess to having made some thank you cards tonight - yipeeeeeee!

No I am just letting you know that Harry and I had an afternoon spent watching The Golden Compass. The verdict.........it is fab!! We really loved it!

Steve on the other hand drew the short straw and watched Alvin and the Chipmunks LOL!!!!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!

Hopefully 2008 will be peaceful for you and your loved ones.

We had a fab time at a friends house chatting, laughing, singing, playing games oh and of course drinking ;)

New years resolutions and lessons learned from 2007????
Well weight loss has got to be a priority (again!), more quality time with my boys, pass driving test and appreciate and love those near and dear to me.
If 2007 taught me anything it was that life is sooooo short and we must cherish those we love. Don't be afraid to tell people we love them - everything can change in a blink of an eye and never be the same again.

Enjoy the rest of New Years day xxxxx
