Something For Me!

Better day today! The rain has stopped and the sun is out - what a difference from yesterday.


Decided to make myself something last night......don't know why really, as I've got plenty to get on with for other people. Anyway, this was the end result.


I covered the book covers in MAMBI blue floral paper and lined the insides with a pale blue Bazzill c.s. More Bazzill c.s. was used for the front of the book and on the lighter piece, I stamped the words 'memories' and 'journals' from Tim Holtz, in Versamark so it gave a watermark effect. The image is Magnolia which was coloured with Brushables and layered onto Bazzill c.s. Flowers are Bazzill and Papermania, Ribbon is Papermania and Dovecraft and brads are from my craftbox. Sticky gems are from Papermania. Lettering was made with George and Basic Shapes on my Cricut. Finally, the book was put together with my Bind It All.

Hi, Jo,

I'm having a look at Wymouth bloggers' sites, and I really like your one!
On 9 January you wrote, "So, have decided that when the counter hits 2000, I will be offering some blog candy." Well, you better get a-making that candy, Jo, because the counter is at 1990!. Good one!
Where did you get that wonderful clock?

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

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

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.
