Oh Iam so pleased it is Friday. My creative mood is back and things
are now whirling around in my head. OH I got new toy today from over the Pond It is the BIG BITE eyelet setter ,I just had to have it with it long
reach I will be able to get in the middle of 12" layout ,its Baby is the cropadile which I love dearly and so easy to use,on tin and amazing on Cds I first used it on a CD and thought oh blimey this is going to crack it ,but no,I was amazed at how easy it was..... So now I need to get my new toy cracked open and play.........


anyone for muffins!!?? My favourite blog of all time has got to be Vicki christman`s http://vickichrisman.blogspot.com/ I just love the work she does and Vicki never fails to inspire me I totally drool over her site and now,Iam drooling over the cranberry muffins!!

and we seem to have the same taste in everything,This Lady costs me money!! Iam always rummaging in stores for bits and bobs. Like the Antique Lace I used on my Cigar Box from my fav habbi store It was hiding right at the back and the owner said oh thats old I will never get anything like that again ever made!! So I said oh I will have 4 metres and whilst he was measuring it out I thought umh "tell you what Tony measure rest of it " I ended up with 10 metres of it but I know it will always come in....

Back to Vicki now not content with inspiring me ,She is now trying to add
Pounds to my waistline her oh so yummy muffin picture on her site
and a lovely recipe on Vicki`s blog Iam so going to try!!!..........

I just wonder what is happening with the weather and the earth Tremor we had on wednesday, I hope I never sit through one again,my house was shaking so voilently from side to side and top to bottom,it was surreal knowing I was shaking ,knowing something was happening but not what is was at the start,and then knowing something was so wrong, I just had to grab my little man and hold him tight and be ready to run out the door ,just horrible and Scary
I was driving the next morning thinking oh this might not have been here,I might not be driving down here that sorts of thing,we take life for granted don`t we!!!!!!!!!!. It just proves we might nag,moan take things for granted ,but we have so much to be thankful for everday.
when I picked my little man up from school h said " mam I dont like them louds shaking,"pointing to the clouds in the sky,oh bless!!!!
I have done no crafting,just buying lol!!!!!! well I might need it for something. Honest let me near craft/scrapbook supplies and it like letting a child loose in a candy shop
I really must get on,but just so tired and it now looks like these gales are going to disturb my sleep,oh well another day,another dollar.......

So much for a steady day!!

Oh well I had planned on having a pretty steady day,few chores,

Ds to school and post Office,the gales have really whipped up and it is

rough standing up in them,I do not like driving when it is like this ,it makes me feel horrible when the Car is getting blown. Well a knock

came to the Door,my beloved Postman "oh few for you today" looking down I nearly dropped then!! on managing to lift them in the house all [4 ]it was lots o f my things I had ordered from USA,now need to un -load

stuff out!!!

Well I so need some scrappy time today ,maybe I will get some done later

I have so much I WANT to do but there is never enough hours in a day!!!! I hope to get some sketching drawn up better than my rough uncut stuff,I do this when I go to bed, I find my inspiration comes when I really should be going to sleep!!!!!! and I will post later

Then I have DSN server switch and Isp to alter on my website,great fun this will be sure my hosting co ,just love me . I loath Html probably because it takes me ages lol!!

thats it for today!!!!!!!!!!

card sketch

Well I promised a sketch,so here is No1 and the one I did finished

Now I have my Bamboo and graphics,but sometimes its just so easy to sit and draw with the pen in hand,Iam a doodler at heart and if I have a pen and paper I just cannot help it,Even talking on the phone Iam scribbling or drawing something!!

Well it is turning into a very windy Night,wheelie trash bins banging and falling all over I can hear them whilst sitting here. Iam just finishing a CD swap and need to get ATC done then this can Mail Monday.

I just recieved a beautiful CD & ATC from Jana Fail,one of our friends over at KT Crafts,she is a wonderful person and her Darling Son has just gotten home from hospital [bless] so pleased he is doing well now.

I will post pictures later,oh and Jana sent me a lovely little Maya scalloped 8 page coaster album[now Iam itching to start this]

oh well I will love you and leave you,got to get this swap finished

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
