Happy New Year....

All the best for a fresh start....and with that I'm trying to work out if there is a way I can post via the phone...I've just added the email option, but have just wondered how do I get the pictures on the email....I think I must be a techno-phob....

Still...this picture is of the seagulls that I have had listed for a while, and they have proved popular...and this week I have had an order for four sets to go to the USA....

Just as well Gareth went back to school, and Chris went back to work today....lots of work done in the peace and quiet :D....

Thanks for looking...will be back soon working out how to get new posts on here :)

Halloween Festivities....

......hehehehe...I had twice as many Trick or Treaters last year than I had prepared for, so this year I have made 100 pillow boxes with Pumpkins and ghosts on as decorations, and going to put a little bag of sweets and a Scoubie phone charm....that should keep them quiet :)....we're also having a little get together here...so let the decorating begin ...where are those pumpkins....

I have added these Jack-o-Lanterns to my listings, together with some pumpkins of various shapes, these can be used for gardeners and vegetarians too....although Seasonal we scrappers tend to do things out of season just as much...to the point I'm doing Bunnies for Easter soon :)

Thanks for looking...Joy x x

Photographing The Die Cuts.....

This is a recent photo of the presents that are available in my ebay shop....but there is only one collection like this...as with all my cuts...I have a couple of boxes that hold 5 reams of card each, and then a selection of patterned papers and card....I'm sat here trying to think which cuts actually stay the same each time...even the penguins sometimes have a textured black....

If I were to photograph each set of cuts...each time I made a selection...I would not have time to complete anything...from printing the paperwork to posting to leaving feedback...it takes me roughly an hour to complete a set...I have a perfection issue and don't like waste :)....so yes each set ...whatever the cut...is individual....no-one else will have the same.... :)

I am going to make some of the fairies today as I watch what happened at the Japanese F1 race...now...what colours shall I use today :)....Joy x x

Lots of Birthdays...

I've had four birthdays with in the Archery Club this month...and they are all men....as a friend said...always a bit more difficult..

This card is for Mathew..and as you can see he'll be 30 on friday...in the end quite an easy card to produce...an old CD and the Musical Notes cuts...the 30 from one of my alphabets, that I double cut and highlighted in white gel pen, same as the greeting and the notes....pretty good even though I say so myself :)...

have a couple more cards for this weekend and then four more for the club in October...better start now...thanks for looking...Joy x x

Christmas is Coming...

...I'm sure each year get shorter, or time goes faster...

Either way I've been asked to produce some Christmas Cards this week for the Shop Area in our Library...and when I showed her some of my Scoubie earings she was interested...and asked if I could combine those into Christmas Cards too....liked the idea of card and gift together :)...

Of course I really must start on our cards, and some for Gareth to take into school...got some small envelopes for that job..:D....don't think they will appreciate these new stockings though...

Had better get on then...lots to do...back soon..Joy x x

Back to School...

am at this very minute waiting for Gareth's transport...yeh...some piece and quiet and a chance to actually get stuff done...:)

I have been busy since returning from holiday, but this weekend has been quiet, getting the little ones ready for school themselves...but this has given me the opportunity to have a play with some of the dies I've had for bit now...

These little pencils are really cute, and great for cards...or the small scrapbook pages....I also have a medium sized one, and BIG....I also have crayons for playschool fun...:)

Well once the Boy has gone I can start moving, and this includes a visit to Mum today...see you all again soon....Joy x x
