More bags......

Well, you know me...I just love doing these bags and everytime I find some fabric I love, I just can't help myself...think it's becoming an addiction!! xx

American folk-art cards

I have been having a play with some new images I have...they have quite an american feel to them I think. For the first go with some of then, I have simply inked the edge and popped them onto card...with a little glossy accents on the hearts or apples or flowers. There's room on the fourth card (with the house on) for a greeting, but haven't decided what that's going to be, yet. xx

Ooops!!!

I forgot my Mum and Dads anniversary at the beginning of the month, and felt awful! So I made this little card up for them,...showing what I think is an american / canadian image of a happy home and cat. (Just like my mum and dads house!) They loved it. xx

Sunflowers...Get well soon!

A friend of mine has been a bit poorly recently, so thought I would try to cheer her up by sending her this simple card I made ... with a photo I took!!! I took this at the Eden Project in Cornwall, and am very impressed with this pic as this was the first one I took with the new camera we had just bought!! I embossed around the edge, near the photo, with my shapeboss (I don't have a straight line on the stencils...I use the edge of the board. Difficult!!) ....though I am sure there must be an easier way! Any suggestions greatfully recieved. xx

Thankyou!

I wanted to send the owners of the guesthouse we stayed in last week, in Cornwall, a thsnkyou card cos we had such a lovely time and they were great - so helpful and friendly. I bought Scott a new camera for his birthday while we were away, and we walked the 5 mins to Porth beach on the last night we were there, and took picyures of the sunset. So wehn we got home and printed them off, i thought that would be an appropriate image on the front of a very simple card. xx

Just a quick thankyou...

To Deb, who sent me this award way back at the beginning of the summer hols, when I wasn't well and couldnt't muster the energy to even make my hubbys birthday card, let alone anything else. Thankyou to Deb for sending me this...I see just about everyone has this featured on thier blogs now, so I will say if you are looking here and don't have it, take it form me, with love. xx

Apologies...

...as I haven't been around blog land for a good few weeks. On our wedding anniversary - 8th Aug - I fell ill... i couldn't shake it off and was getting worse, so dragged myself to the doctor who told me I had a nasty case of gastroenteritis. I kept getting worse, and lost a stone in weight so went back to the doctor and this time, happened to get the most uncaring and unsympathetic doc I have ever had the displeasure to meet. To cut a long story short, he gave me a bloodtest of which I am utterly and completely phbic about, so I was quite hysterical. Then he called me the day after and said I need another in about a month! Hmm.. Oh, and they are sending me for a scan on Tuesday...on my gall bladder. (I HATE hospitals!!!!)



We almost cancelled our holiday in Cornwall, but I am so glad we didn't! We went last weekend and had a jam-packed week there. I was a bit dodgy for the first day or two, but hubby and I had a wonderful time, visited some beautiful places and the fresh sea air did me the world of good! We stayed in a lovely guesthouse, where we were well looked after (email me if you want contact details) for a very resonable price, very friendly and quiet area, with a 5 min walk from Lusty Glaze beach and Porth beach...very beautiful!!
