New Stash and Tara's Blog Candy

Had a couple of parcels arrive yesterday and today from the States and look what was in them!



My Prismas arrived after only about one week!! Can't wait to have a play with them, however, I see what Fran means now.....have to put them in some kind of order and sharpen them first!! Also, my Penny Blacks arrived from H M Stamps...they took a bit longer but were well worth the wait. What do you think Tara? They're so much cheaper!!

Talking of Tara, she's got a blog candy competition on at the moment to make a baby card, so here's my entry.

I just adore this image. It's from Stampin Bella and I coloured it with Brushables. The cardstock is Bazzill and the paper is Doodlebug. Ribbon is from Dovecraft and the word "Sweetpea" is made with my Quickutz. Brads are from Poppicrafts and the button is from Doodlebug as well.

Sorry this is so rushed, however, we were late home tonight and have only just fed the boys and need to get them ready for bed.

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!!

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
