Welcome to my blog. I hope you find plenty of inspiration here. Nothing too fancy, no great skills required, just lots of cards, gifts and perhaps the odd bit of shopping.

My blog contains lots of links to freebies. Without sounding like "mother" can I ask you to leave a kind comment to the generous givers of such fabulous artwork. I know of at least a couple of artists who are feeling a bit unloved at the moment. Thanks. X

My poor blog.

I nearly forgot my poor old blog today!  I've been shopping for jeans.......enough said ,lol. Needless to say i haven't got any yet. It takes at least 3 trips to find a pair that fits properly. I'm petite with quite a boyish figure so i would probably be better off in a mans shop. The last ones i had were from Next but I don't like the styles they have in at the moment. They look worn out before you've even worn them. Call me old fashioned but i like my new jeans to look at least quite new, not old and battered. I may as well stick with the ones I've got.
In the meantime here's a card.
I made one similar to this for my sister in law a while ago and she asked me to make one for her friend. The caption is from Ginger's House and the stamp, ( yes i used an actual wooden stamp) is a Dolly Mamma by Stamps Happen. I'm still trying to use up scraps of unidentified papers. My mountain has gone down quite a bit. I may even allow myself to cut into a new 12 x 12 tomorrow,lol.

On The Beach.

Spring has sprung and summer's on it's way......soon be Christmas,lol. I've been shopping today as i didn't spend all of my Christmas money on drab winter clothes so i have some left. I bought a nice dress reduced to £17.50 in Debenhams. It's a petite size and i have to snap them up when i see them as they fit properly. I'm determined to get my legs out more this year as i have quite decent ones but they're always tucked away under trousers. Up to now there's 5 dresses lined up. Cue for a cold summer? I hope not. While i was feeling summery i made a card to fit the mood.
Details on the printing of the card base can be found on a previous post HERE. The stamp is called "collecting seashells" by Stamps Happen. The circle sentiment is from Craftwork Cards. I've used a tiny bit of glitter glue on the sand. Card base 6"x6".

Target weight 9st 2lb,  Today's weight 9st 3lb. Back on the naughty step.
