Playing catch up.............

Hi..well I hope you are all fine and dandy...sorry I havent been around much...theres not enough hours in the day at the moment..I'm still trying to get into a bit of a routine with looking after my Mum...its not easy with her condition as everyday is different... it certainly takes some getting used to!!!...

Anyway..this might prove to be a bit of a long post..so maybe some form of refreshement may be needed...right first up ...Hey! I got chosen to be Guest Designer for Lovely Hanglar Only the other week and last week was my first spot (did say I was playing catch up..lol)..and this was/is my card...


The theme was/is vacation...the DPs' are Primas Jack & Jill Collection..and the darling boy is coloured with Prisma Pencils...kept it simple so you can see the lovely papers...

There seems to be lots of the same theme around at the moment including
Stampin' for the Weekend...as I've been busy this week I havent been able to do my DT card so I hope this one will cover it..but I do hope you will all join in and I look forward to seeing your 'Holiday' creations...

Ok...as its Friday it is time for
Just Magnolia Challenge and this week is Claudia's turn and she wants to see 'funny' sentiments on your creatons...well I have to confess that as you probaly know..I dont 'do' sentiments that much....so I struggled a bit with this...so I went for the 'cute'...



...Darling Tilda is coloured with Primas...the DP's is BG Sweet Threads..still cant find a 6x6 pad in them...all sold out where I look...loads of WO flowers and sweet gingham ribbon and bow to finish...

I hope you are all still with me...lol...I have been crocheting a few more bags...and some flowers...I just love making the flowers..and I can do them while sitting with mum...so here are a few pics of my 'makes'




Crochet Flowers
