What a week–all good

Lots of things happening. My youngest Daughter Natalie moved in with her boyfriend Adam, so pleased for them both, they are so happy together.

It feels sort of strange that there is now just the two of us to think about for meals and the likes but exciting to start a new venture together without the children.

The second thing that happened was my other Daughter Lauren changed back to her normal hair colour rather than highlight, I think it’s has to be 15 years since she had her own colour.

I love her with dark hair.

Then a big surprise for me today, I was trying on some trousers and I have down sized two sizes since we started healthy eating, I didn’t actually get any clothes but only because the ones I tried were too big “yay”.

How many Christmas Cards do you make?

We have got it sorted for you this year.

Whether you are a Decoupage, Topper, Stacker or Colourist type of a crafter this one has it all.

Lets start with Behind Closed Doors pop up cards. These have to element of surprise for your recipient, easy to make too. We even have the Embellishment to decorate the front doors.

Then of course we have your images in Decoupage.

Then I started looking at the pre-coloured  Elements that are also on the CD and this is what I came up with.

Quick and ever so easy CAS Cards.

Fir Tree Element

The Nutcracker

A set of 3 elements, Mistletoe, Bells and Dove

I will be on Create and Craft TV 24th September at 11am and 6 pm showing the Christmas Box cd rom

Snow Shovel to the ready

I can feel the chill in the air already, I’ll be digging out the higher tog quilt by the weekend much to Chris’s dismay.

This little one has it under wraps and is all ready for the winter months.

Snow Shovel from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

I used a beautiful silk ribbon, Spellbinders oval die, some pretty papers, gems from Mei Flower and La La land tree die.

Before I finish I have a funny story about Grandson Jacks day at school, he was chattering away to his Mam.

Jack- 'Mam- the teacher said God today...
His Mam- 'were you learning about Him?'
Jack- 'no- and she said in the name of the Father, the Son and the mouldy wizard!'

Ermm I think that should be “Holy Spirit” Jack.

Update

It wasn’t until I got told off by my Mam on Sunday that I realised that I hadn’t gave you an update.

Time just seams to fly by doesn’t it?

So here is the little fella, our Jack on his first day at full time school.

Things have changed so much since mine were little, Jacks Mam was allowed to stay for lunch one day which I think was wonderful, he even got a star award in his first week.

His Grandad said we need to hope that he will grow into that PE kit sharpish otherwise we may have our first taste of bullying on our hands.

See Ya

That special moment when they pass their driving test and we lose all rights to our car and nerves ha ha!

See Ya from Mo’s Digital Pencil perfect for that Congratulations card.

Coloured with Copic markers and chalk pencils and teamed with First Edition designer papers, a pretty green ribbon and some little pearls.

Sentiment from TLC sentiments.

Just look at that figure (sigh)
