OMG!!!! it's been how long......

I really don't know why I have trouble keeping my blog up to date, but I just do.... All I can say is it's a life thing I guess....

What have I been up to.... Well I have found a new little hobby which has kept me busy and my mind off some stressful family stuff that has been going on since March, I'll see if I can remember this tech-no stuff and add an image......

Meat My Sock Buddies...

 



 

I have got a few to make for friends now so busy busy... xxx

 

 

 

 

 

Cj fun....

 

The last couple of months have been a little sad and stressful, thing's are not looking like settling for a while either, but today I found some me time and got the paint's out.... A window of creative play...... I have had to play mega catch up on some cj entries but once I got started I was off like a whirlwind lol....

 

This entry still needs a quote but so happy with how it has turned out....

 

 

All I need to do now is wrap them and post them...

My Little Lady Is 10 Today........

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little lady... I can't believe where the time has gone.... She is growing up so quickly...

 

Thought I'd share L's cake I have just finished making.... we are having a family tea tonight, a sleepover is in the planning for her friends in a couple of weeks so guess who will be making more cake :-D....

 

I have a happy face on....

I am very Lucky Girl....

 

I entered a blog candy draw and I am the lucky winner of these lovely stamps... thank you so much Lindsay Mason I am looking forward to playing...

 

 

For my special little lady.....

Just a quick post today as I should be doing loads but needed five mins to just catch up with myself.... I made this card this morning for my Special Little Lady who will be 10 tomorrow... where has the time gone??? just thought I'd share a quick pic before I get icing the cupcakes...

 

 

I still need to make the Birthday Cake.... I think someone is going to be a busy girl tonight....

It has all gone to plan so far....

Well I said to my self last night I'd work in my cj's tomorrow (today now) and I have, messy play too... I have this thing of planning to do something and it not happening because of daily life stuff, but today it has gone to plan so far (probably shouldn't have said that to soon lol) well, I did have a few near accidents with a paint brush and my cup of tea, managed to stop it going in the cup before reaching the tea lol.....

 

I have two Cj's that I am taking part in on UKS (UKScrappers) and this is this mornings fun....

 

(Helen's Cj)

Art Journal Style

Whatever Takes Your Fancy, and Have Fun...

 

I started this one last night by drawing the girls face in pencil and using plain ol' colouring pencils to colour her face in... this morning she got a lick of paint and more paint :D I just need to add the title and journaling and maybe some doodling... but wanted to share now as to not spoil the whole thing for Helen ;-)...

 

(Gill's Cj)

Messy Art Journal with a Rainbow Theme...

 

I started out with the pencil again drawing the girls face and rough outline of the scene, then the painting just happened it's looking quite clean at the moment but again I have the title and journaling to do, I think there could be some stamping and rub on's making an appearence too... So I am sharing now to not spoil it for Gill

 

Hope the girls will like what I have done when they get their journals home... We have a little while to go still as only half way.....

 

Happy Scrappy Fun!!!

My Poor Ol' Blog...

 

I can't believe it has been so long since I have been by my little ol' blog.... Bad Blogger (consider me told off)... I am hoping to work on it a little more and get back into posting my creative project's again.....

 

I proberly should say Happy New Year.... lol...

 

 

Some people will know I had hand surgery at the beginning of the year, (Carpal Decompression) I am getting back into the swing of crafting again and have lots of ideas floating about, just need to put into action.... I also have two Cj's that I am still involved in so plenty to do...

 

I have got an on going project for this year 'My 2013 Journal' I have a mile stone of a birthday this year and thought I would journal special events and just the odd random thing too of what happens this year (if that makes sense)... 

 

This is the journal I made. Here is what I have so far...

 

The cover I have left plain at the moment, think I want to leave it quite simple but not sure what to do yet!! 

 

 There is a pocket inside the cover which I plan to put some personal journaling and a quote about age, I have found a few that I quite like so I might use them throughout the journal...

The next page is of my new nephew Billy born on the 6th of January, there is a flip page here which hide my photo (camera shy me) and another photo of Billy and a tag behind for my journaling...

 

 

This next page (L) is about my hand surgery, I have three pockets for my journaling, photo and hospital band and date and where I had it done... Then the next one is just a little random, Snow and the 4 snow days my children had off school because they closed... It is again a pocket which has a tag for journaling and more photos...

 

 

 

I have also worked on a couple of Cj's to but forgot to take photos of these before I posted them on... Note to self- must remember to use the camera :-D...

 

Well thanks for popping by....

 

Happy Scrappy Days!!!
