a double page


This is a double page spread from Sara and James's book they loved it and at one point there was even a tear in the eye, hay ho happy memories of a brilliant day and entertaining speeches too Sara's dad was quite funny actually as you can tell from Sara's face.
I hope everyone has had a great Christmas we have and we all have eaten far too much of course and I shall look like a quality street. Ill work on that later lol
Delilah has grown still a maniac at the side of my little grumpy old man(that's the dog) he is not impressed, they went back this morning sob, sob, miss Sara terribly, well, miss them all but the other two are in Sheffield so that is not so bad so to cheer myself up I started to tidy up the craft room after the marathon scrapbookathon I don't know about anyone else I am sick of Chrimbo cards I thought I may start next years but just couldn't face it lol.I have taken some more pics of other pages and will show them later bye for now xx

C is for crumbs as in will I get the book for Sara and James done in time, actually yes I will, no probs (bravado there). I got six pages done on Sun and Mon so three more to go and I know what I'm doing for them I have enjoyed doing it and I hope they like it

Hollys birthday card( with inside added)




Its Holly's birthday on the 9Th of DEC so as I am incarcerated in a what feels like prison a very warm and comfy prison but a prison all the same I thought I would get ahead of myself so here is Holly's card a beautiful lotv image and sentiment, bo bunny papers and flowers from http://www.craftden.co.uk/ which I glimmer misted with starfish a couple of times to get the red that matches the hearts on the paper, I think the bow maybe a bit large I just need to mount it on a card and seeing as I have SOOOO much time at the mo I may decorate the inside.
Its snowing again here in Norton Lees I am so glad my building can't start till Feb ho ho can you imagine if it had started now as I wanted, ohhh doesn't bare thinking about lol
This morning I dug a path for his majesty down to the garden for him to do his business he's very particular where he does it looks as though I may need to do it again later lol
I'm getting back to finish the card for Holls now and make some quick cards for work, when I can get back there of course. Lissy set out walking again to work but has had to turn back as its treacherous and she fell its not worth breaking a limb for!!! x

todays snow update lol

Link went out this morning and spent several mins "swimming"Can you just see the snow sloping behind the rail you should see the telephone wires

This is the decking, I'm not going out. Joe cleared a bit for link but he wasn't having it, he followed Joe to the front of the house and did a poo in lovely deep clean snow then Joe had to get it up before link jumped in it, it was funny but maybe you had to be there lol

The red cross parcel arrived before this happened earlier courtesy of Joe and Lissy thanks for the bread you guys

this is the road outside. "where?" that's what I thought and I'm not getting any crafting done I'm spending all my time looking at the blooming snow its becoming an obsession.Ooh its coming down again.
