oh the weather outside is awful,I have had a strange sorta day
nothing accomplished at all!! So much I want to do and need to
do ,but I feel like crawling up in a ball and hibernating till
some warmer weather arrives............
I need to finish some swaps and hopefully Iam going to start loading in
next few weeks some card sketches and layout sketches just for fun,and also it might make me shift my butt into gear a bit...........
Well I have some really big orders arriving from across the pond,I needed some more storage,it like shoes and handbags to me I have 6 three tier
12" stackers I already have 4 so it will make 10,my other half will probably collapse when they arrive,you see I had alot of cubes delivered at the back end of 2007 , twenty two truth be told, well I need to store my stuff don`t I

MY Black Number

Well I love how my little black number turned out for the SAR cigar box Challenge and it has found a new home already. Iam going to store my pearl-ex pigments and H20`s in this and maybe to another for the rest

I used Jenny Bowlin Vintage papers in black & Red and then antique cotton lace,with a prima flower of course with bling,cannot have Black without a bit of bling. Then I used wood alphas and painted them Black and attached pearls to the top of the letters "COCO" The image I used a plain cream Linen and messed around with a little Modge podge and Glue ,put my paper on the material and rubbed down well and left to dry over night and then damped my fingers and took the top layer of paper by rubbing gently and voila was left with the lovely image

Well suppose it is not everyones taste,but I like it and that is all that matters

Oh what a very,very cold Day,slipping and slidding ,nothing has de frosted today at all. My little rebel has been back today to school horray

I feel my sanity has been restored after last weeks holidays " were kids put on the earth to try & challenge us umh I often wonder

OH HOLIDAYS ARE OVER

Oh well school holidays are over back to school for my little guy today Iam feeling pretty rough,have done all day,sore throat headache, but there again this weather I do not like minus-6 degree and today they say
it is going to be freezing fog ,not looking forward to driving in this at all!
On a good point I did get one of my cigar boxes finished and Iam pretty pleased how it turned out,and it has a use already Iam going to store my
pearl-ex pigments and H20`s in it. I will post a picture later . Think this is the one Iam going to enter in SAR competition for Feb

Well I have lifted another blog, Glee a wonderful friend over at Kt crafts
Glee does some wonderful work,and sketches wow the last card is a different take on tea bag folding and it is perfect in every way and the papers used holy moly,get on over and check Glee`s Blog.

Well The Design team over at KTCRAFTS got there challenge parcels from me today I just had to buy the "LOVE signs and paper I know they would never think of going out and buying this for themselves, This will be interesting
Vicki,Kristy and Barbara all have different tastes so to speak ,but hopefully this DCWV All dressed up stack covers all there tastes.
and I cannot wait to see what each one creates
well thats it for another day,besides me playing around and messing with some paper to make a card,but thats another story

Well The Cookie Tray

challenge result

Iam not 100% happy with it,but possibly it is me Iam just to much of a darn perfectionist when it comes to crafting/scrapbooking things have to be right.

Oh well Iam wondering if I should do a layout and enter the Design Team for Kt Crafts,Iam just so un-decided

Iam not even sure if my work is good enough for this at all.

I need to finish a project and wanting to start some others off and

DS having cold is not helping ,half term and crabby etc. Mind you we have a new addition to the family a Goldfish my DS wanted today,total

change from the things on 4 wheels Iam so used to buying . Just hope he does not want any off the other things we saw like snake,stick insects,camelion and a few other urghh creepies.

Oh well Iam kinda tired today [thanks Vicki !] I was sat till the small wee hours cutting and stiking numbers and letters for my cookie Tray challenge from the crop yesterday at http://www.ktcraftsmembers.com/
and Now finished ready to upload. Iam not 100% happy with it,Iam heading into Town this week so Iam going to get a BIGGER tray. I need more embellishments on mine ,so my DS can have the smaller one.
