Oooohhhh...I hurt today :(

No photo today as I'm not getting any contact to the main PC...:(....

I'm hurting as Last Weekend I painted the ceiling...twice...and my shoulder is killing me...especially as I've just spent the evening emptying the Office shelves....two bags of recycling magazines and cardboard, and one of rubbish :)...

Although both the kitchen and Office are nearly done....paint the walls...and the Office needs the desks sorting out...will have to do that this weekend....who's going to tell Chris lol...

Well...better get to bed so I can get the cutting done in the morning...Joy x x

I know...I know...

A second posting in as many days.....whats going on :)....well today I'm waiting for 9 o'clock to take Mum to Pyshio at the Hospital...so keeping up to date....

Today's image is of Halloween Cauldrens.....they have a green potion or a purple potion with silver 'smoke' and a big 'wooden' spoon...as well as Halloween I thouht they could be used for cooks in general, or for scrapping a meal that didn't go quite so well :)

and now I must do a little glueing before I go and collect Mum....see you all again soon..Joy x x

How naughty am I....

the answer is 'very'...all the business advice given says keep in touch and up to date....problem I've got is finding the time to do it all....Chris has just had me walking back and forth to the dining room looking for a phone number, while I try and type this....typical...



Well...keeping in Season I've put together a selection of Halloween Die Cuts....and today I'm showing you the Bats.....they are well feed with fat little tummies, and have little yellow eyes...I've highlighted them with silver pen.....



I'm supposed to be going to weightwatchers....but I'm not sure I want to :(...

Riding High.....

Back from holidays....with loads of work to be done, and loads of washing....:)

This card was made a while back, and I think I have shown it before, but for some reason the die cuts have not been doing well, possibly due to the size....so I thought I'd remind folks on one option open to them...

I managed to get four new cuts done while away...not bad as Chris banned me from taking any work with me...lol....but they photo's are on his laptop, so need to rearrange them....

When I get a chance I'll download the photo's I took while away....I've been playing with the camera in an attempt to improve the images.....

Back later....got to get the mini-sheep back and a hair cut....Joy x x

Bitty Ballerina's....

Did these for a lady that was part of a London Show...She gave me a description of each girl and I endeavoured to re-create them as these bitty ballerina's....so cute :)

Having done these, I've also enhanced the sports sets...a footballer, cricketer, rugby player, basketballer and netball girls, each with their own balls and bats....great fun....I must also get the Romans and Normans that I did ages ago for another project, and the bitty Witch....of course it's also a matter of demand, so a bit wary to list things that may not be popular....

Life has continued to be hecktic as the end of the school year approaches...this is Gareth's last year, up to Secondary school in September, and the stress is begining to show...at home at least ... ;)...

Trains....Or Rather Engines....

I have to be correct for the fans out there...and that includes me for Steam....just love the Smell and the Noise.. :) ....Still this little set aren't so little...but will fill a card beautifully and add that dimension what ever age...will accent a scrapnook page well too, wether 12x12 or 8x8...probably a bit too big for 6x6.. :)

Been quite busy...as ever...seem to have got back to the busy time at school...Gareth is doing his transition to secondary school, so a bit topsy turvy...plus a trip to France next tuesday... :o ...them sports day on Friday.....I seem to have been up every week recently for school meetings...and I have to say I'm usually the only one....intro to new school teachers, and a health / diet thing...surely I'm not the only parent that cares...maybe I am....

Well, on that note...I'm away to sleep....got five sets of Westies to make up tomorrow...Joy x x

Tractors and Treats....

Well so much for going to bed earlier...still sat here, but I'm not taking Pinky (my Laptop) upstairs with me this time :)

Have at last completed the tractor collection...and they are so cute...there's a children's programme called 'The Little Red Tractor', so had to include one for that...and the other colours are similar that which can actually be found in the fields and yards...plus in the front of the traffic jam on the way to the camp site :D

I've also been playing with two other new dies...a big Icecream's with Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry flavours...and also Lollipop's...still playing with this though as it doesn't look quite right yet...got some great colours though :)....will take photo's tomorrow as I've got new Motorbikes and Engines too....

So this month I'm going to endeavour to update a bit more often...although I don't want to be doing it at this time of night each time....

Back again soon...Joy x x
