Another Award and I'm Expecting!!!


I've received a You Make My Day Award from my pal Tara, thank you so much Tara and sorry it's taken me a little while to put on my blog but slipped behind a bit and am now catching up. In turn, I'd like to pass this on to three ladies who make my day...... Denise whose friendship I really enjoy and look forward to our e-mails, Fran who not only is a great crafter but also makes me giggle and last but by no means least, Vanessa, my partner in crime in the "B Team"!!! She knows what I mean!!

Sue at Slumber Cards is offering some blog candy and all you have to do is enter a photo of your favourite Spring tree or Spring plants in your garden. Well, I actually went out and tidied our garden today and mowed the lawn and thought it was a bit bare because the daffodils are dying off now and then I noticed my pride and joy......my New Zealand Tree Fern (or that's what I think it's called) and it's having babies which means Spring must be here!!



This plant is truly wonderful.....the babies are all curled up and hairy and gradually uncurl until they look like this......

.....only these are last year's leaves so they don't look so bright and green as the new ones will.

Off to cook some tea for Sam now as Lewis is at his friend's house and won't be home until much later. Needless to say, it is extremely peaceful here with just the one child!!!

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Happy Blogoversary To Me!!

Chocolate Somethings

Friday again and Half Term has started! The boys finished school yesterday so hopefully, we've got a fun day together! The challenge on Stamp Something this week is chocolate - everybody's favourite! and there's one stamp I turn to when that word is mentioned. I've followed the sketch on Mojo Monday for this card. The image is from Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock is Bazzill Bling and papers are Doodlebug. Matted the image onto some c.s. which has been run through the Cuttlebug and threaded some ribbon through using SU slot punch. Finally added a brad from my stash . A big thank you to Jose for helping me with my images......love the way some of you girls have been putting a sneak peek at the top of your posts and Jose was nice enough (and clever enough) to explain how to do it. Hope you all have a great weekend.
