Catching Up


Sorry I haven't been around lately....been busy sorting out some PIFs I have to send off so to all the ladies involved, sorry for the delay but I will be posting them tomorrow - all being well! I'll show you what I made when the people involved have received them.

Got a few things to cover in this post, the first being I have been tagged by Jo so here goes!

WHAT WERE YOU DOING TEN YEARS AGO?
I was adjusting to the fact that I'd become a new Mum and what a shock that was. Lewis was about three months old so things had started to improve by then!

WHAT WERE YOU DOING ONE YEAR AGO?
Also making adjustments but this time getting used to being a 'single Mum' cause Tony had just left to work in Australia and I was (and still am!) left looking after the two kids. Must admit, it's been VERY tough and my hat goes off to all you girls who do this every day AND have a job!

NAME YOUR FIVE FAVOURITE SNACKS
None!!! That's 'cause I'm on a VERY strick diet at the moment and am going great guns on it. I'm at last shifting all that baby weight from ten years ago LOL! Must admit though cheese on toast is still a firm favourite of mine :)

NAME FIVE THINGS YOU WOULD DO IF YOU WERE A MILLIONAIRE
Spend! Spend! Spend! Spend! Spend! Of course I would do all the obvious things like pay off the mortgage, make sure my family were OK financially and help out charities but crikey would I go on a shopping spree!

NAME FIVE THINGS YOU LIKE DOING

Shopping, talking, crafting, sleeping and having a massage!

NAME FIVE THINGS YOU WOULD NEVER WEAR AGAIN
Ra Ra Skirt, footless tights, socks with individual toes (do you know the ones I mean? OMG they were sooooo uncomfortable!), popsocks and hot pants!

NAME YOUR FIVE FAVOURITE TOYS
Can only name two for this one......my laptop and my rubber stamps.....don't have time to play with anything else.

Now I have to tag five people but I'm going to go for four.......Denise Fran Leann and Tara.


Now that's over, have a couple of things to share with you. I won some blog candy from Michelle


Look at all those brads!! I love brads and will make good use of them Michelle!

I also received this gorgeous card from Claudia




She also sent me a set of stands which the card is resting on and some other goodies so thank you very much Claudia.

Had quite alot of stash arrive this week and I'm dying to use it so hoping to start on something this evening. Have just got to serve up the kids' tea and then I'll be back with news of another PIF. See you then.

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

Happy Blogoversary To Me!!

THIS IS NOW CLOSED........WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER TODAY! ***** THIS POSTING WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP UNTIL 09 DECEMBER. FOR NEWER POSTS, PLEASE SEE BELOW ***** I just can't believe it's a year ago that I started up my blog and thought I was sat there talking to myself!!! and I am so thankful for all the wonderful people and friends I have made over the past year - you're such a great bunch of girls!! So, as promised, have got some candy to share with you all. This includes a Lippy Chick Flip Book for altering, High Hopes stamps, Cricketer stamp, alphabet stamps, ribbons, flowers, brads and embellishment kit (all from Poppicrafts). All you have to do to help me celebrate is leave a comment and mention my blog candy on your blog and that's it!! I will draw a winner next Tuesday 09 December and in the meantime, will leave this posting at the top of my blog. Oh, and by the way, this is open to everyone as I will post internationally. Hope you all have a great day!

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
