Where has the week gone?

Wow it has been almost a week again since I left a post on here, no idea where the time goes. Havent been up to much, still taking is easy and it will be the official school hols on Friday so I will get another couple of weeks rest before going back to work.
I did manage to get another envelope mini made. I bought the Once Upon a Time stack along with the Mariposa papers, my intention was to split the packs in half with Vikkie (only 6 days now till I fly over to visit - soooo exciting). I couldnt resist making her an envelope mini though. I like this one better than last weeks one, i think cause I made it slightly differently and kept each envie separate and didnt stick any of them together. This makes it sit better I think, anyway see what you all think.
I was hoping the weather would warm up a bit this week as I have veg seeds I wanted to start planting but it was a bit too chilly to be bascially sitting around at the weekend. I need to do a bit of shopping today for things to take across to Norway so I dont know if I will get much done but we'll see.
Anyway best go have brekkie, shower n stuff.
bye xx

Wow it has been ages!!!

Hello everyone, I havent been blogging for a while as I havent been very well :(  I am on the mend now, it will just take a little while to pick up completely but the jist of it was I ended up getting a blood transfusion last Friday as I was hideously anaemic :O
The past couple of weeks, even though I was off work I aint really had the energy or concentration for crafting and it has only really been the past couple of days that I have felt much in the crafting mood. Anyway I have posted a few pics of my newest envelope mini album made with the Mariposa papers from DCWV. I love these papers and it took a lot of nerve to cut into them. I am happy with the result although the pics were taken before a lot of the photo mats and tags were made so it looks barer that it actually is.
The other thing that has happened in the past few weeks is Vikkie's laptop had pretty much died on her so that has put paid to our daily crafting together. It has been really hard and quite stressful on both of us but at least I only have another week or so to endure before I actually fly out to see her for a week. I am getting very excited about it, especially now that I am on the mend again (thankfully).
Hopefully I will get plenty crafting done in the next week as I am signed off work till the Easter hols.

What a week

Well I have had a pretty good week all in all. I am chicken sitting for 3 weeks for my neighbours a few doors down (yes i did say CHICKEN sitting) and I am loving it. I have always wanted chickens and when we moved to our present house a few years ago I was seriously contemplating it as we had a big garden. Mal kinda disuaded me and a veg patch was created instead but I am having so much fun this week mucking out, feeding and collecting eggs I am seriously considering it again. We will see how thisng pan out. Also I got a beautiful present from Vikkie (and Pete) I am soo delighted with it. They bought me a necklace just like the one Arwen wears in the Lord of the Rings (the one she gives to Aragorn) It is gorgeous. I have wanted one for so long ( I have an elvish brooch - the ivy leaf one and Vikkie bought me the one ring) and have hinted to Mal for yonks and he hasnt taken me up on it so it was so thoughtful of Vikk to get me it and I cant thank her (them) enough. I will treasure it. I am hoping I have a busy weekend of crafting and will keep you all posted with what goes on. I am hoping tomorrow is as nice as it has been all week so I can get out to the garden to do a bit of clearing up. It makes me feel so much happier when I can get out in the fresh air and get a bit of sunshine. Best go shut the chickens in for the night xx

Wall hanging

Hi folks, I have managed to get a bit of crafting done this weekend. Havent had much chance to speak to Vikkie though as she hasn't been feeling the best of late. So to cheer her up a little I decided to make a wall hanging to send to her to keep the one she made company. I dont have a craft room as such, as it is our office cum spare room so I dont get the chance to decorate my crafting area the way I would do if it was my designated space. I hope she likes it - it turned out a bit too pink I think lol. But it is nice and bright so hopefully it will cheer her up. I have missed her the past few days :(

Accordian Album for Vikkie

Hi everyone, nothing much to report really, the weekend has been and gone already and back to work all too soon :( I had a pretty good crafting weekend though, Vikkie had bought me the Immortal Love stack as part of a Valentines pressie and it came the end of last week so I was determined to do something with it. It was a bit of a wrench cutting into the papers but I managed it lol I decided to make an album for Vikkie and her hubby with a couple of their wedding pics in it. I had been promising to make something like that for them for ages and never got round to it or had the inspiration to do it. Anyway Sunday I went for it and I have to say I am very pleased with the results. I just cant wait to give it to them now. Better think about getting organised for work - blech! Bye x

The weekend (thank the lord :)

Well the week from hell is over, apart from the excitement of prom and the fact I only had to work a 2 day week, this week aint been the best. I havent done very much crafting, me and Vikkie have hardly talked and when we have it has been a strain due to one thing or another. We are very very alike and it can cause fireworks sometimes :S but we do try to cope with one anothers foibles (for that is what friends do). I know nothing will come between us though and no mater what I love her to bits. Anyone hopefully this weekend will be nice a relaxed and I can get plenty crafting done.

The weather here is miserable here today, cold wet and windy - YUK!!! A good day for crafting though. It was my Dad's birthday yesterday and for a change I made his birthday cards. Actually it was needs must as I forgot to buy any on Thursday :S I was really chuffed with them so I am now inspired to make one today for Sophie (Islas's friend) as she is 14 tomorrow. I will add a pic of the cards for my Dad just now.
Anyway I am off upstairs to start crafting as I am wasting precious time. xx

Not the best day :(

Well this is the last day of the holiday weekend and I have work again tomorrow :P It aint been the best day to be honest. I have had too much time on my hands alone and been really fed up. Normally a day like this would have been spent having fun with Vikk but she has been ill today and apart from 15mins while I was cooking tea I havent seen her today. We have txtd one another a little but she has been in bed most of the day. Hope she feels much better soon, it aint nice that I cant even go and visit her and give her a big hug to make her feel better - just one of the many downsides to her living so far away from me :(
I made a tag holder out of a blank greetings card yesterday so I have attached the pic so everyone can see.

Hugs to my bestest bud xx
