Time For the Bubbly!

Big apologies (yet again!) for not being around, however, have not been feeling too good. I managed to get to the Dentist and there was nothing wrong with the tooth itself, however, I had an abscess in my gum and sinus so was put on tablets and it's taken forever to go......still not completely disappeared now, so I haven't felt much like doing anything and couldn't even participate in the DT work for Stamp Something this week so more big apologies to Denise, Erin and the rest of the girls.

I do have a couple of cards to show today - it was a case of having to make these for my friends' birthdays so they are basically the same with just slight differences!


The photos aren't brilliant because it was so dark here yesterday and the glitter on the bubbles and the 'enamel' look on the bath tub from the Glossy Accents aren't showing up. If anyone can give me any tips on tying neat bows and knots, please let me know as I was beginning to get a bit frustrated with the ribbon yesterday!!!! I've got loads of catching up to do with blogging and e-mails etc and have also noticed it will soon be my blogoversary so will organise some candy for that very soon.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Hi Jo! Sorry to hear that tooth is still giving you pain, hope it clears up soon. No worries about Stamp Something either, we missed you, but there's always next week! Take care of yourself first. :)

Love these cards, they are beautiful. The images are great and perfectly colored. Wish I could be in the bubble bath right about now. Great eyelets and ribbon accents too. :)

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...
