A Busy Week in October

Ok then, perhaps I don’t have as much time as I thought I would!
The week started on quite a good note really - the first week (again!!) back to Weight Watchers resulted in pounds lost, and rather than celebrate with a cream cake I trotted off to the fruit and veg shop to make my fridge look really virtuous!
On returning home I found that a parcel had been left and rather than leaving it a day I thought I’d chase the postman (figuratively speaking of course!) around the village to pick it up. Really disappointed that it wasn’t for me, but never mind, at least it was got.
When I did get home (a cup of tea was desperately needed!), I found I had to deal with two offerings that the other two members of the family had ‘left’ for me. I haven’t introduced these two to you yet have I? Well they are two girls who are aged eleven and three quarters and they just happen to be CATS! Yep, I’m a cat fanatic!!
They’re called Leah and Caitlin ( or Leebies and Katy Baby, or Tim-bob and Waste-of-Space), and they are my little treasures! They are sisters, but completely different purr-sonalities!
Anyway,enough of them - I really had to get organised to do card smples. But of course that didn’t happen!!

Enough of these ramblings for now - perhaps I can show a couple of samples I did earlier. They use Glenda’s new stamps with the angel and Madonna- just beautiful.
Sorry - I should have put her the right way up you can see I’n new to this blog posting! The stamps are so detailed that they don’t really need a lot of messing about with to make really beautiful cards.

About Me

Nr Durham, United Kingdom
The intention is to keep it up to date and tell you about all my crafty things ………… but good intentions don’t always come off do they?! I’m lucky enough to live in the North East of England and am happily married with one son who has now fled the nest after graduating in 2007. Because I no longer go out to work and have an ‘empty nest!’ this means I now have time for ME …… and now have time to try out all those things I’ve wanted to over the years. Oh joy!! I’ve always loved ‘crafty things’; I started out with cross stitch then developed to free style embroidery (loved the free machine embroidery part!) before becoming addicted to papercraft stuff and card making. I wouldn’t say I was good at anything but just love messing around and seeing what I end up with! Have developed an interest in quilting at the moment, but again am not too good at that either
