Well....

It's Monday morning... and as usual we are up early... so this has given me the chance to get updated..

I went to crop on Saturday with all intentions of working on my Mojo Cj and making a start on my new Whatever Cj... only to find when I got there that I had actually left Mojo Cj at home... so no playing there then.... I then spent a long time coming up with a theme for my new Cj, I think half the morning had gone by then... But I did make a start and this is what have so far....



I have also made a flap page for my welcome message and have the pages cut... so making progress I think...

What's on your Crafty area????

I know there is a proper name for this somewhere but for the life of me can't think right now what it is (might have something to do with all the cleaning products I have been using this morning) but this is my crafty area... a semi bomb went off so this is quite good for me... I tend to move thing's I want to do into the kitchen (better light) and then cause I have to clear away quickly, it just get's dumped on the table and may take a while to get back to normal (if there is evere a normal)


I have mini albums, a Cj I'm working on, handmade flowers, ink pad's and stamp's and so many tools that shouldn't be on there but in their right place... So plan of action is to tidy and get ready for a crop this Saturday in one... and maybe have a cuppa tea, feeling a little parched....

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris (Official Music Video)



Since hearing this song on the X-Factor I have had it going around in my head, so thought I'd share it with you tooo...

Monday Morning...

Morning all, I'm having a bit of a quiet one today... A few house chores (in progress) and a little home baking (done), Cupcakes again.. slight prob though ran out of icing sugar so only have a few with frosting WHHOOPPPSsseeeee!!!.. So need to pop to the shops at some point...




With hundreds and thousands and a sprinkle of fairy dust... Don't ya just love how I managed to get one right on the tip of the frosting... lol. When using the plain nozzle on the piping bag they kinda remind me of something else IYKWIM.... or is it just me?? lol...




Well seeing has I have a few cupcakes it would be a shame not to have one with my cuppa so off to make a brew and have a T- Break.... then back to the chores...


Not much Crafty planned for this week as I need a few suplies so going to wait till I go to crop this weekend where Karen will have her crafty shop there... so crop and shop can't be bad and I'm so looking forward to my just me time (with NO CHORES)...


Hope you are all having a lovely day...

I've Made More...

I have been making a few more flowers.

I made these using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die... Somehow I have managed to break my 5 petal x-cut punch that I had been using, so thank goodness for the TH die I picked up with my Bigshot... I so love making flowers at the minute and havin the time to make them has been fab... My dad saw these yesterday and asked where I brought them from?? When I told him I'd made them he said they look like shop ones. (this made me smile :D)

(not the best at photography might need to work on this a bit)







I know it's a fab sunny day but might just make somemore.... need to make a birthday card to, so a quiet day with me and the stash playing... how yummy!!!!


Would love for you to let me know what you think of these??

The Camera is Back!!!

Ok the batteries charged and photo's taken, So here we go...

This is the envelope/paperbag mini album... (I made the bag's out of envelopes)... This for my Bailey Bunny in case you haven't noticed the title... (handmade alpha tiles using jump rings)... I still have the pages to fill so a work in progress...






This is my little journal, the cover is a piece of grunge board which I attacked with my distress inks and just stamped on, keeping it simple.... the pages are just made to fit the wrap round style cover, of my old K & Co papers...













I am still working on my Mojo Busters II cj, I have plenty of time to finish it not posting until Nov so I'm havin a play when I get the time or an idea takes hold lol...


So I am getting there and the mojo is coming back slowly... Hope you like...





Had a crafty play... But!!!!

I was all set to show you what I have ben up to this weekend... but on switching my camera on it promptly switched its self off and you guessed it no more batteries to hand so have put them on charge and hopefully will be back later with some photo's of this weekends crafty play....

I have been working on an envelope/paperbag mini, that I made at Karen's crop at the begining of this month and I've made a little journal for me to write some day to day stuff in out of some old stash (K & Co papers)...
