Shades of red and black Challenge @ Dilly Beans

Good afternoon all.

Just back from a major shopping trip in Derby - my feet hurt, my purse is empty and I am so tired lol. I did manage to sort out my pin code (have to get a new one), I got myself a winter coat and some boots in the sale so I am pleased. Now all I need to do is do a little stamp shopping in the sale and it will be the perfect end to the year lol.

A new challenge is up at DILLY BEANS CHALLENGE and it's the last for this year.......



........... shades of red and black are so lovely together and if you visit the blog you will see the fabulous DT ladies inspirational projects. Please join us for a chance to win one of Megan's fabulous images.

Thank you for dropping by and have a great day. Hugs, Mette

Good morning all.

Well, I must confess I have not been doing a lot of crafting in the last few days. Been busy tidying, playing, cooking etc etc. And still not managed to sort out my bank card as I have not had time to go into Derby yet. Hopefully tomorrow as I am running out of essentials and I also want to get to the sales - A new winter coat is on my list and just had to add new boots. It's raining and I got wet feet going to the local store lol.
And I want a few stamps which are 30% off their original price - a good opportunity to get the ones I've had my eyes on for a while.

I made this before christmas for a present for Phoebe ..................



................ and I used a free image from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. Isn't she gorgeous?! I think she's just perfect for winter greetings and christmas. I will enter it into their challenge "Anything goes" which is nice and easy.

Good evening all.

Phew!!!! My house is still like a battle-field. Phoebe had so many presents I could open a toy store - her dad and his family spoil her lol. But she's had a wonderful christmas and I guees she'll enjoy her presents until January 19th when it's her birthday - then it starts all over again :). I hope you all had a wonderful christmas spending it with the people you love and enjoyed having nice food and a good time.

I am going into Derby tomorrow to try and sort my bank card and hopefully get a new winter jacket which is desperately needed. James has got a nice amount to spend on new clothes which he needs and Phoebe will properbly ask for a new toy lol.

Just thought I would show you this ................

3 digi Dilly Challenge

Good afternoon all.

Just back from food shopping. Wasn't a busy as I thought it might be but it's not overly fun to walk around town when it's raining cats and dogs :). Now all I have to do is wrap the presents which I will do tomorrow night while watching the big guy's progress on Google.

It's time for another fun challenge at DILLY BEANS FRIDAY CHALLENGE and today the theme is use 3 digis on one project. This is my card ..................




................. using 3 fabulous snowmen by Megan - these are available HERE together with lots of other super images. Why don't you have a little fun and join us and if you need a little inspiration check out the talented DT ladies projects.

Evening all.

Well what a muddle. I went yesterday to fysio on my foot and was going to do my christmas food shopping. Unfortunately I could NOT remember the pin for my bank card and after 3 attemps it got frozen. I did remember the number when I got home but now it's too late as the card is frozen lol. I am having to use the money my mum sent me for christmas to go food shopping until I can get this mess sorted. I think that as I get older I will have fewer and fewer cards - I won't be able to remember them all lol.

I know I said it was my last christmas card yesterday (or was it Tuesday) but I wanted to share this tag I made for my daughter ............

Last Christmas card

Good morning all.

Much like everyone else there isn't a lot of time for crafting this close to christmas. I am going to be busy getting the last housework done, some washing and food shopping. Unfortunately there are no more delivery spots left at Tesco so I am having to go out and do it. I don't really mind but with my feet being in a lot of pain it will not be a pleasant trip.
I am going to the physio-therapist tomorrow so hopefully we are at a turning point. The results from all my blood-pressure test were brilliant so I am really happy about that.

This is my last christmas card (I hope) for 2011 .......................



............. using one of Megan Suarez' fabulous images. They are so fun to work with and easy to colour. It's basically made up of little pieces of scrap I had laying around from my christmas-card-making-marathon. Megan's images can be found HERE.
