Whiff of Joy


Good morning all.

Freezing cold here in my part of the UK and it's just started to snow :( - just a little and hopefully not for long. Keep reading about people being ill - both crafty friends and family - luckily so far I am ok. 

Was woken up late last nigth by someone being violently sick, at first I thought it was my son so shot out of bed to check but it was my next door neighbour (I live in terraced houses and you can hear a pin drop next door lol). Poor guy - can't be nice. Took me forever to go back to sleep.

OMG - just realised while typing how appropriate my card is lol - didn't click till now (brain still on my pillow)

I lover chocolate bunnies


Good evening all.

it's been a funny sort of day but I have been really busy. Phoebe helped me cook dinner this evening - hopefully she might start to eat more variety if she knows what goes into the dinners. She's very fussy :(.

So far my plan to use neglected images is working alright and it's actually fun. Well, there was a reason why I either bought or downloaded them in the first place.

Today's card features an image from Whimsy Doodles

Molly's little birdie


Good morning all.

Only one more month of winter and then hopefully it'll get warmer with lots of colours. Don't get me wrong, I love winter but my favourite time of the year is when mother earth wakes up and new life begins :).

Been raking my brain for a way to use some of my neglected stamps and believe me I have LOTS. I am still buying more (because as an enthusiast I must have) and then I don't use them. I am pretty sure I am not alone lol. Well, I have numbered the companies/artists (and I have 83 different ones) and under those each image is numbered too. I then ask my son to say a number from 1-83 (I have the company/artist) and then a number under that. That way I don't choose a favourite and use some of my neglected stamps :).

Today's card features a sweet image by Jacqui, the artist of The Digi Garden, who suddenly passed away last week. May God watch over her friends and family and give them strength at this difficult time
