Time to update again

Well I can't believe it's been so long since I updated my blog, time just seems to run away with me.

I suffer with depression and it hit me quite bad for a few months, but I seem to be getting over the worst of it now, so I won't dwell on it.

I have been away on holiday to the lovely island of Menorca, it is such a beautiful island, we usually go there twice a year, I love it, roll on May.

Well it's that time of year again, Christmas!!!!, hope all of you are all ready, I'm not far off now, still got quite a few cards to make, but with the help of my daughter I'm sure I will get there, she has made a few of the cards I'm going to put on here, there's nothing we like more than to sit and craft together.

Anyway enough of me, time to put some cards on for you to have a look at, with me feeling down my inspiration seems to have deserted me, I'm not altogether very happy with the cards, but I'm sure whoever I give them too will appreciate them and not look at them with the critical eye that we crafters do (well I hope not anyway lol).

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Marvin again


Here is another one for you to have a play with, have fun with him.

Marvin


I would like to introduce you to Marvin.
He is very friendly and he will help you in anyway to make your creations special, he will be avaliable in many guises in the near future, hopefully, if people like him, he also has a lovely family too.
You maybe thinking..... well he's not the nicest chocolate in the box, but he has a certain charisma,
He asked me to put him on here so that you can have a play with him and see what you think, if you are happy with him, can you please leave a comment.
Have fun.
Just to add, this is the creation of Tony Windle, please do not pass him off as your own, he will only be available for a limited time, thanks.

Time to update!!!!

Where does the time go, I thought I would have been able to keep up to updating, but time just seems to fly, anyway, here it is......are you ready for a nap.....

Well I will go back in time to just a few weeks ago when it was my Birthday, June the 24th, I received some lovely goodies from my family and my friends on the Crafts Beautiful Forum.

I got 2 lovely bunches of flowers, some yummy chocolates, 2 teddy bears, 2 Rich Man Poor Man DVDs, who remembers them.....I haven't watched them yet, and some money, so I didn't do too bad.

I have put all the lovely cards on here that I received from everyone on the forum, sorry I can't name everyone of them now, the memory isn't too good now that I'm a year older, lol.

I have kept them all and when I get my bedroom decorated I am going to display them on the wall, I will post pics on here when that gets done, although excactly when that will be, I don't know as I have other rooms to decorate first.

I have also put pics of cards that I have made for birthdays and for challenges, enjoy having a look.

You can wake up now, I have finished for now, thanks for taking a peek at my little blog and hope you enjoy.
