Fancy a Magnolia?

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has visited my blog over the last six weeks. It's amazing, I really didn't think I would get so many hits when I started out. It really is appreciated.

Now to the blog candy......I've thought long and hard about this and decided to do something a little bit different. The reason being, I think even though we enjoy making cards, we're all so busy with birthdays, challenges, and everyday life, so I thought I'd make it simple.

I admit to being a bit(?) of a nosey old moo!! so what I would like you to do is send a link to a photo of your craft space. Don't worry how tidy(?)/untidy, small, big, whatever, your space is. Could be a room (I'd kill for one!), a corner of a room (like mine!), a dining room table. It doesn't matter, just add a comment with a link to your blog and if you haven't got a blog, then e-mail me a photo (my e-mail link is in my Profile).

Just to get you started, here's my space.




It's in my bedroom and seems quite tidy really when I'm not crafting, but look what happens when I start making things!



You see, my bed is directly behind me when I'm at my desk crafting so I tend to dump things on the bed when I'm looking for that certain little thing which will finish my card off perfectly!! I always have to make sure I tidy up when I've finished, otherwise I'd never get into bed at night!!

Thought you might like to see the stamp which is up for grabs.





I've already got one of these so have stamped an image so you can see it better.

This little competition is open to anyone, wherever you are, until 31 January when I will put all the names in a hat and get my two handsome Assistants (Lewis and Sam!) to pull out a winner.....hopefully without them fighting about it!!

Look forward to seeing your craft spaces and thanks once again for visiting.

Hi Jo, love your blog!You have a very nice and tidy craft space. I am very lucky to have a room which in the photos you will see on my blog is very tidy. It is not that tidy at the moment as I have been scrapbooking and card making.

Hi Jo, thanks for the fab idea of getting us all to show our craft space, unfortunately I'm a nosey moo too and had to go and look at everyones photos....God its depressing, most people seem to have their own space, but not me! Anyhow, I've decided to make it my soul mission to persuade my daughter that she needs to leave home lol then I too can have a craft room!!!!(evil laugh)

It's Blog Candy Time!

I'VE EDITED THIS MESSAGE SO (HOPEFULLY!) IT WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG UNTIL THE COMPETITION IS OVER. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS! WILL ALSO BE ADDING PHOTOS OF ENTRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A BLOG. As promised, it's blog candy time. There are three reasons for me doing this. (1) My counter has passed 16,000 hits - wow! can't believe that! and I would like to say thank you to everyone who visits my blog.....would never have dreamed I would have so many visitors since I began blogging at the beginning of December last year! (2) It's my birthday in just over a week and (3) had some fantastic news - Tony (my husband) is coming home for good!! For those of you who don't know, Tony has been working in Australia for the past 15 months and we have only seen him twice in that time.....the last time being at the beginning of October last year! He should be home within a matter of weeks - he's given me the date of 10 June but

A Quick Magnolia!

This is going to be a very quick posting as I've been suffering from toothache on and off since Friday evening and it is now unbearable. I do have an appointment with the Dentist tomorrow so if I can just get through tonight I'll be OK! Don't really feel like listing all the details for this one, so if you have any questions, just ask.
