Another Award and Something Different!!

Good evening....sorry I haven't posted earlier but have been catching up on my sleep after Lewis' sleepover last night....they were still awake at 3.30 am!!! Good job we didn't have anything planned for today....I've learned my lesson from the last time he had a sleepover!!
I had some nice news this afternoon....I've received the Arte Y Pico Award again!! Wow, five times now!! This time it was from Jilli. Thank you so much Jilli, it really is appreciated and I am always very grateful and surprised by people who nominate me.


Well, when I finally awoke from my little nap, decided to do something quick and new for me which I've seen on a couple of blogs. This is the front view.......





and this is the back view......

I was so surprised at how easy these candles are to make and how quick!! I've used Elzybells stamps and the main image has been coloured with Brushables. They were stamped with Stazon onto tissue paper and then "fixed" to a plain candle by covering with greaseproof paper and heating with my heat gun. How simple is that?!!!

This is lovely, I had a go at this too a while back after seeing a tutorial on stamping caz's blog, but I found that the candle melted a little, did you have any problems? Its beautiful!

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.

(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
