I'm Back.............Again

Gosh has it really been that long? I'm a terrible and horrible blogger!! Truth of it is i just haven't been up to blogging ..or anything else, i lost all interest in my hobbies for while....But my mojo is well and truly back!! I've done a few orders but even my customers knew i wasn't too good. Thankfully they were patient and waited, i now have orders coming in thick and fast.So it'll keep me busy for a while lol.

Well since my last update i've had surgery and many hospital appointments and i'm really pleased to say i'm cancer free, woo hoo!! I know i hadn't specified what was wrong but i didn't want to be telling people until i knew for sure. They're still not a 100% sure whats wrong but whatever it is i can deal with it! Most importantly i can relax now, it's been a massive weight on everyone's shoulders, it's amazing how much it all affects your loved one's i really don't think people understand or appreciate how badly it affects everyone around you. They're all massivly relieved and so am i. So still trying different treatments and maybe more surgery to come but they're obstacles i can get over.

In general my healths appalling, the fibro's really bad and Mick's now having to lift me out if bed as my back's so bad, sadly it's seized and my GP doesn't think it's going to improve due to the fibro, it's getting to the point where i can barely get down the stairs, Mick has to help me with just about everything and the kids have been great they take over the chores i just can't manage. The GP's put me on some different tablets called Lyrica but it leaves me soo tired so not sure how that will work out. I'm also having physio although i don't know why as it leaves me in more pain in fact to the point of tears!!! The worst thing is it's looking like we may have to move....oh joy!!!! NOT the thought of that makes me cringe lol.

Anyway enough whining,and onto cards!! This was an order for a baby girl card (recipe below). As some of you know my favourite cards to make are baby and wedding so i was in my element making this, Please leave me a comment and let me know you haven't abandoned me!!! It'll make my day.
Tons of hugs

Wedding Blessings

Hi!!! well as promised i've uploaded my card/Bookatrix. I was not a happy bunny when she told me the colours but once it was finished i was pretty chuffed with it. The colour theme of the wedding is Raspberry, cream and silver so i've tied the colours into the card too. I used a die cut couple, some pretty raspberry card (one of my fave colours) Some silver and cream pearlescent. I added some peel off borders,which imho you have to use on a book! The ribbons from my enormous stash as are the gems and the silver double hearts.

Can't tell you how much i enjoyed making it i really had fun and it kept my mind off everything else going on, at one point Mick was talking to me and i was totally oblivious lol. The only problem was there was no stamping! but i'm gonna be doing another tomorrow (provided i get time) and that one will definatly be a stamped one lol.

I've been spying on EvilBay lol and theres sooo many new Sugar Nellies and Magnolias! And they're lush, can't wait to get some but may try to arrange a image swap as i'm itching to try them, i find just colouring them sooo theraputic!

Anyway guys and Girls i'm off till i've made my next one, hope you like this one, stay well. Hugs

I'm Back!!!

Wow has it really been that long? crikey!!!! Gosh have i missed bieng on here! I better tell you guys whats been going on,well as some of you have noticed i've not been around in a good while. I got quite poorly sudden and things weren't looking very good for a while but thankfully (fingers crossed) things may start to be looking up for me,i'm not going to post exactly what was wrong as i'd rather keep it private for now and i want to escape from it for a while, sorry if that seems odd but the less i talk bout it the less i think about it if that makes sense. I've still a long way to go and still need to have some bits and bobs done but it's not turning out as bad as we thought!!! So it's been a very very testing time for us here. Hopefully another 6-12 months and it'll all be over.

The kids have kept me busy too, which is a blessing lol. I've not even done any crafting "shock-Horror", my printer went wonky on me again, this is the 4th to quit on me!!! GRRRR!!! Apparently my pc is doing something to them and they won't turn on! So had to buy yet another new printer and have it installed on my daughters laptop. But tbh i've not really felt up to crafting, no cards made, no x stitch, no Doll's houses nothing!!

I got an order today which i accepted instead of declining. And it's been brilliant to work on, i'll post pics tomorrow, but i enjoyed making it soooo much so the bug has officially bitten me again!!!

Thank you for the comments that were left for me expressing concern i'm really gratefull that anyone even noticed i was gone lol, so it was lovely to sign in and read them.

So i'm officially back and OMG i'm really out of the loop there's tons of new stamps out that i've never even seen, i can see me buying lots and lots of goodies lol.

Anyway i'm gonna finish this card up and take some pics to upload tomorrow, hope you are all keeping well, lemme know if there's any gossip lol

Gone Fishing!

Evening everyone it's a bit of a late post i'm afraid and a quick one as i'm off to bed soon,I had done this card for 3 challenges but i've been that busy today i ran out of time for one of them, so it'll do for 2 lol Once again the papers are Digi, the image is watercoloured, I've used 2 circle punches, brads and a stamped sentiment which i had bought to use on my DH's next card as he's addicted to fishing. The colour theme is for colour throwdown, and the theme for papertake weekly which is their 100th anniversary. Links are below

Don't forget to leave me some love! Sleep tight, Hugs,

Baby it's Cold Outside

I'm back lol this is my 2nd card of the day, told you i was feeling better lol. This one's for 3 challenges, i loved doing this one. It's the stamp i won from Simon Stamps isn't it just gorgeous!!!! I'm totally in love with it! I watercoloured the image, used digi papers that have been on my pc for yrs. My lovely polka dot ribbon, a few gems and some snowflake brads. The sentiment is computer generated, and if you can't see it properly it says "Baby it's Cold Outside" I used my christmas font to print it out. Ok i'm off thank you for the lovely comments on the first card i posted today..don't ask me what happened with the pic but it seems ok now.

Hello my luvlies, hope you are all well? I'm finally starting to feel a bit better thank you to everyone who sent me get well wishes luv ya'll! I decided to make a card last night hoping it would spur me a little as along with my health my mojo was low. Well i think it did the trick lol as i'm in the middle of doing another! I've managed to combine it into 4 challenges as i've been AWOL i thought i'd try and get into as many as possible lol. I treated myself to this stamp last week and i've fallen head over heels in love with it, she's so cute! I've used my ever faithful digi papers, Watercoloured the image, added some eyelets then threaded ribbon through them. Used my gorgeous ew metal corners, i'm gonna have to get some more as i'm scared of running out of these beauties! 2 gorgeous buttons, nesties, flowers and a couple of leaves and hey presto, i'm happy with this one it seemed to take forever but i like the outcome.

Engagement In Pink

Hiya girls, sorry i've been absent again still not feeling too good but i'm getting there. Hope you have all been well? Thank you to the luvlies that left me a comment it lifted me no end.

I've been crafting though lol think i'd have to be physically dead to stop that. I've not taken a pic of all of them yet but i did this one. It was an order for a neighbour who's friends have just gotten engaged. Theres so little out there for engagement it's really annoying. So i went with the usual heart theme.This stamp is a really old one. I bought this when i very first started crafting that was before i found all the other yummies lol It's by see D's. I've used a versamagic ink pad, done some embossing with my bigshot and the Textile CB folder (my fave) a corner punch, some pink gems, pink organza and a printed greeeting. A nice simple card but in a way elegant. The customer adored it anyway!

Please leave some love and i'll pop over and see what you've all been up to. Stay well, loads of hugs.
