Un-planned and forced blogging and crafting brake

Dear ladies.

This morning I slipped in the shower and after a trip to the A & E I have now been fitted with a sling. There is a fracture on my right arm, right at the top where it meets the shoulder. And yes, very tricky typing with my left hand lol. In a lot of pain and need to go to the fracture clinic on Monday to see a specialist.

It is going to take 4-6 weeks to heal so I will be out of action, unable to craft, take photos and post. This is going to kill me - 6 weeks not colouring and making stuff is like hell.

Anyways, I will be back with new energy I hope  soon. Until then .......... keep crafting.

Hugs, Mette

Gnome Boy in a Wood

Good morning all.

Hope everyone is doing fine and it's not raining. Been raining here non-stop so it's nice that the sun is finally out.

 Yesterday I went to the school's Harvest Celebration at the local church. The kids bring food for the local charity centre and they sing song and the priest talks about giving thanks for this year's harvest. It's a lovely tradition and I enjoy going every year.

My card today is a "Give Thanks" card. I have used an image by Torico. She is offering this sweet gnome for free on her blog HERE and you can enter into this month's competition. Isn't he just adorable. I love Torico's images :).

Thank you for visiting and hope you have a great day. Hugs, Mette

Dilly Bean Friday Challenge

Oh dear me!

This has not been a good week - rushing around, forgetting things and being really late. Not sure what's going on but it's 5 AM in the morning now and I just can't sleep. Gonna be so tired later on today. Maybe this was playing in the back of my mind.

This is my late post for Dilly Bean Friday Challenge. Fall Colours is the theme for this week - don't you just love fall colours. Must be my favorite time of year. 

Why not head over to the Dilly Bean Challenge blog and check out the fabulous DT teams creations. So much inspiration and then play along with us. Remember that you do not have to use a Dilly Bean image but we would love to see what you would create. And even better, Megan has just added some new fall images to the shop HERE.

My little creation is a thank you card...

Thank you for visiting my little place and hope you have a great week-end. Hugs, Mette

Toot toot

Good morning ladies.

Today I would like to share a card I made as a guest over at  The Digi Bells blog. I am really enjoying working with Elisabeth Bell's images and am re-discovering "old" favorites that I have in my ever expanding stamp collection lol. 

I do think that Elisabeth draws the most exquisite little boys and for my card today I am using this sweet image. It's called Toot toot and is available HERE. It so reminds me of the time when I used to lie on the floor with my boys playing trains :).

I have used some of my Papermania card-stock, MME Abbey Road papers but basically kept the card CAS. I think this image deserves center stage :).

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