Final Chapter of Sam's Birthday and Some RAKs

Have managed to take some photos of the gorgeous cards Sam received on his birthday and would like to share them with you. The first is the card I mentioned yesterday from Lewis, his big brother.....


He'd used some liquid pearls or something on the "today" so unfortunately, half the envelope stuck to it....bless him!! Even though I bought a present for him to give Sam, he insisted on going to the shop himself and bought him a big bar of chocolate and some tatoos out of his pocket money!!

The next card is from Vanessa and she'd picked up on the fact that Sam absolutely loves Mr Men! Sorry the card is a bit curled but you can blame that on the hot weather we've been having at the moment as the sun has bent it somewhat!




The following card was from Jose and I was amazed when Sam opened it as I'd never seen one like this before....definitely going to have to make one of these! This is what it looks like closed......




...and this is it open!





Before my computer died on me, I received some lovely RAKs and am now able to show them. The first is from Jo who sent me this cute card with a box of Thorntons chocolates...yum!

The next is from Fran where we did a little swap of some images. I don't think the photo does it justice as it is so sparkly and pretty!



And last but by no means least is a folder I received from Annie with some images....it's beautiful!


Off to do some housework now and hopefully will have time to craft this evening.

Last of the Whipper Snappers (for the moment!!)

Morning all......is it morning already?!! Had a very hectic night.....got woken up at 1.30 am with the sound of vomit bouncing off the landing carpet!! Sam wasn't very well and didn't quite make it to the bathroom so spent most of the early hours of this morning trying to clean the landing carpet, the carpet in his bedroom, washing bedclothes and cleaning him up!!! Eventually got to bed at 4.30 am then was woken at 9.15 this morning by Sam asking me if I was getting up because his tummy was empty and he was hungry!!! Got to love 'em!! Anyway, at least he's feeling better. Got to try and phone the Carpet Cleaner in a minute and order Sam a new mattress as his is ruined....oh the fun of being a Mother!! Back to business now, here's a card I made during the week with one of my new Whipper Snapper arrivals. I don't know how often I will use this stamp but it was a case of "ooh, it's so sweet, I've just got to have it!!" I've coloured the snai...

I've Been Busy!!!

It's funny what happens to me when I lose my internet connection so I can't do any blogging.........I end up doing some crafting!!!! Well that's what happened yesterday afternoon and evening....my internet connection kept flicking on and off probably due to all the bad weather we experienced. Not quite so windy today but the rain is continuous! I actually finished my Easter Egg bags yesterday whoo hoo!!! Well, I say finished, I've got three more to put together but I have coloured the label and everything but I need to go to Asda and buy some more creme eggs and I'm not going anywhere today because I'm due a parcel delivery....hopefully, my camera! I hope you're ready for these photos....I was just going to put one picture on but thought hey, I had to suffer making them, they should suffer looking at them!!! The photos aren't very good I'm afraid and I'm proud to say that not one chocolate egg was harmed during the making of these bags......in ot...
