1st ever Challenge Card

Well have finally got round to making a card for a challenge....Its for the Pollycraft Monday Challenge which you will fine here http://pollycraftchallengeblog.blogspot.com/. There are some great cards entered. The theme was stripes and here's my entry, I used the new Winter Elves-Reflection rubber stamp, which I think is just fantastic, coloured in with whispers pens and water colour pencils. The background papers were a free download from http://www.scrapbookingmad.com/ and you can find it in their freebies section. Ribbon from stash, the little bit of bling and the striped brad are both from docrafts/anitas.

Saturday Sit in....

Well cant believe its Saturday again, where does the week go, Not got much planned for today because Ronnie is working even tho I wanted to go craft shopping, but he's not going to be finished in time. So I'm busy doing housework AGAIN!! It never seems to stop. The 2 youngest are at their dads this weekend so at least wont have all the mess from the golf course and the footie pitch dragged in. Its Ronnies birthday tomorrow and I also wanted to go and buy him something little to open in the morning because he already got his Oasis tickets for a present. Was having a joke with the girls from docrafts last night about what to buy him and I'm sure he would love a couple of rubber stamps and some cosmic shimmer embossing powders...Going to make a start on my christmas stamping later so will go and get on and hope you are all having a great weekend wherever you are......Hugs

Wicked Wednesday

Well had a few days off from blogging, been so busy catching up with housework after having visitors for the weekend, then I can craft for the next few days without feeling guilty....who am I trying to kid I never feel guilty crafting.lol.
Had a good weekend, Ronnie went to the Oasis concert in Aberdeen with his mate and raved about it all weekend saying they were the best he has ever seen them, was secretly jealous because I really wanted to go but his mates g/f dont like them and I couldnt leave her on her own could I....
Have ordered myself some goodies to make up for it tho.lol.
Just a little catch up from me....off to do some blog hopping and then get off to bed...
Take care everyone wherever you are.....
Hugs....

Went online to try and buy TAKE THAT tickets for Hampden Stadium in Glasgow and......yipeeeee I got them for June next year..
Posted off goodies to all the people on docrafts that have been waiting forever and a day for them but forgot to take pics of the cards so gonna have to be cheeky and ask them to do it for me.lol....
Weather is horrible here today, its raining cats and dogs and even my birdies ain't been for their feed yet.....
Got to go out and get food shopping tonight so will miss all the trick and treaters,
Got visitors comming and Ronnie going to Oasis concert with his mate, I was going to go but his mates g/f dont like them and I'm too polite to say tough I'm going,
Have a great weekend whatever you are doing......

Thoughts for Thursday....

Well the weekend is almost here, the sun is shinning again here in Stonehaven but its very cold, have been sitting watching the birds feeding off a coconut shell filled with food in the garden, but need to buy another one to put lower down for the ickle birdies as I dont think they remember that they can fly.lol.
Just away to put some washing on the line, then mum comming round for a visit. Might get her to help with a few cards I have to make for the weekend....
I have got parents night for my youngest tonight and he managed to get the appointments spread all over tthe place so will most likely be there for hours, after that got to rush into town and buy laptop for son number 2, hes been saving since starting work just over a month ago and now ready to splash the cash.lol...Bless him I'm really proud of him making such an effort and not wasting his hard earned cash.....not like older brother who gets it and spends it.lol.
Then if I'm not too knacked after that going to the quiz night at the pub with son number 1....Ive been head hunted after watching the weakest link and eggheads.....he's realised that his mum does have a brain of some sorts.lol.....Well thinks thats it for just now. Hope all is well and dandy in your neck of the woods....hugs............

Chilly Stonehaven

Woke up this morning to snow on the ground but I went for a shower, blinked and it was gone.lol...

Not been online much because I hurt my back doing the daftest of things....don't ask!!

Now trying to get back to normal after hurting my back and being away to Blackpool for a few days, came home and have caught up on all the washing, now might have some time to make cards.....

Went to the craft show in Glasgow on the way back up the road from Blackpool, the weather was horrendous travelling up the road so my time was limited at the show. I did manage to grab a few bargains though and will be trying them out soon...watch this space for all my goodies..

Finally made it....

Ok here I am ready to take on the world of blogging....i think..still trying to work things out and at my time of life that takes a while.lol....Will add some of my latest cards over the next few days but they pale into insignificance compared to others....but I can only get better :-)...Hope you are all having a lovely weekend and the weather is nice where you are...
Hugs and Happy crafting
