I'm Still Here!!

Hi all!! Just to let you know that I am still around but things are a bit hectic for me at the moment. In true "Jo" style, I put off making my sister's scrapbook until the last minute and had a bit of a hairy scary moment yesterday when I realised her birthday is this Saturday....yikes!!! So everything else has been put on hold for this week while I get on with her book. So please don't think I'm being rude and not visiting your blogs.....I hope to catch up with my blogging at the weekend.

First I'd like to announce that I got another award....it was from my good pal Denise and I take this as a real compliment because I find her work an inspiration!




I would now like to pass this award on to three people who really do inspire me - Denise!! - just take it right back girl! I know you've already been awarded this but I love your work and hey, it's mine so I can give it to who I want - right?!!!! I'd also like to give it to Claudia of Pretty Pressings....I know she's another one who has received this already but her work is so fantastic and inspirational....she never ceases to amaze me with her creations. Last, but by no means least, I'd like to give the award to Katharina. This is another truly talented lady whose work I admire greatly.

Now the award ceremony is finished with (!) thought you might like to see what the postman brought me yesterday.



My new Sugar Nellies arrived. I ordered the new Lola set, plus little Hamish. I also received my prize from Kimmie - family of penguins stamp! Will have to order some more EZ mount but unfortunately will not have time to play with them until after the weekend. Still haven't had time to experiment with my Prismas - can you believe it. Life is so cruel sometimes lol!!

Well, back to the scrapbook. Do you remember I showed the outside of the book Id made?



I managed to do nine pages yesterday and thought I'd show you the ones that are finished......the others have to have a few finishing touches added to them. I must admit they were a bit rushed and I would have preferred to have spent longer on each page but just didn't have the time.












Sorry the photos aren't good.....the pages look a bit distorted but they're not! Anyway, you get the general idea. Only another 18 pages to go!! I'm out for most of today so will have to have another go at it this evening.

Just a quick note for the ladies who won my PIFs, I posted them yesterday so they will be with you very soon (hopefully!)

Have a great day!

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.
