Welcome Saturday

What a day Friday was, firstly it would have been my Brother Russell’s birthday, he was lost at sea while serving in the Merchant Navy at the age of 17, just a lad in his prime with the world at his feet.

Then my morning started with a trip to hospital for my bloods to be done followed late morning by a trip to the Dentist to have 2 wisdom teeth removed, now I am a bit of a wus when it comes to dentists due to a drill happy one in my youth, but they had to come out so out they are and pretty painful at that, it made me realise the pain that Natalie must have been in earlier in the month.

The tea time came a call from the hospital to say they were concerned about my blood count and to stop the meds that keep my pains at bay and I need to go in again next week.

So I’m pleased to see Saturday morning, I still have considerable pain but I suspect that each day will get better.

I thought I would share this scrapbook page with you, the picture is one from my wedding day and this is Chris’s favourite picture, it always make me giggle and think start as you mean to go on ha,ha…

It’s quite ironic because we rarely have cross words, we tend to listen to each other and talk about things before the heat sets in, something that has worked for us as last year we celebrated out 25th Anniversary.

I use My Memories Suite to digi scrap and now to make cards it is an amazingly easy program to work with.

If you would like to get started and be able to make wonderful gifts and keepsakes this is definitely in my opinion the program to be using.

Don’t forget by using my code you can get $10 off the My Memories Suite software and also an extra $10 coupon off any purchases made. That's a big $20 saving.

Dream–Victoria Case

Every now and again something special comes along which was what happened when I made a purchase from Victoria Case, we became facebook friends and I was given a free image to work with along side her other facebook friends. So here she is, the Facebook Fairy.

Coloured with Copic markers and prisma pencils then smooched the background with a gold rub and teamed it with gold and iridescent papers from my stash, lace, ribbon and pearl pin and a whimsy ticket. the Flourish is a die from Memory Box.

her dress is paper pieced then shaded with the copic markers.

Mariko is Mad

This little one reminds me of myself when I was young, I was quite a handful and my Mam and Dad would often say they didn’t know how I survived to be an adult, apparently if it wasn’t for family and friends I would have ended up in the raggy home eek!.

Husbands eh! and Blog Candy

I was just chatting with one of my crafty friends about husbands taste in music when driving in the car and then I remembers the little gem that I got in the car to one morning.

I have been known to slide down my seat in the car in the hope that know one notices me when Chris is driving and puts on his own music but this one beat them all.

Picture the scene, dashing out early morning so that I won’t be late for work I jump in the car and turn on the ignition and wham the music is full blast, Chris had had the car the previous night and this is the little gem he left for me to listen to.

Delaney’s Donkey

I bet you will all be singing or humming the tune all night. Tell be your husbands most embaressing car music in a comment & I’ll sort out some blog candy and do a random draw.
