Today is the day to..


...make another set of card packs.
The images and papers are from the same range as the shoe packs I made earlier and the papers are a lovely tangerine colour. I have added some glitter around the edges of each card and have used the same glitter on the images instead of using any colour.

Today is the day to...


...make up some card packs.

Using not only the shoes images from Pink Petticoat, Lolas Boudoir range, but the papers as well I have made these very simple cards. I have coloured in each image in black and added a pink gem to each shoe.

My Friday

Had to play catch up as spent most of the evening in bed asleep. As well as making the first card for work I also made two more scrapbook gifts for the shop. Treated myself to another Nora Roberts book to read at work tonight.

Thought for today- If, like my friend, you buy all your christmas presents in June and finish in August, do all your family get this year what they really wanted last year ?.

Something for tomorrow- I treated myself to a book which cost £2.99 try and find a treat for yourself that costs £3 or less.

Today is the day to...


...start to make the christmas cards for the girls at work.

I have used an image from the Pink Petticoat range and coloured it in. Using a very thin glue pen I have glued the edges and sprinkled on some fine gold glitter. The ribbon was some I had in my ribbon box. The words happy christmas come from the Pink Petticoat girly curly range. With one down onlly 18 more to go.

My Day

Today really is a day to sit back and do as little as possible. With one night shift out the way and one more to do its one of those days that gets lost.

Thought of the day.. Why when you have nothing to do and nowhere to go no one calls or visits, but when you are really busy everyone wants to chat ?

Something for tomorrow...Write a list of everything you should do tomorrow then see how much of it you actually do.

My Day.

Well tonight is a work night so I should of used it as a rest day but as usual I did as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. I finished off the scrapbook canvas, made the first of two victorian aprons, finished the next section of my course on dementia and tided up. Will be glad to get to work for a rest. Had the best news today, my daughter passed her driving test.
Thought for today...Did my boyfriend pop home at lunch time because he really missed me or because he forgot his sandwiches ?
Something for tomorrow...If you have a book you haven't finished reading then sit down tomorrow and read it.

Today is the day to...


......make a scrapbook canvas for the shop.
This is the first time I have made a canvas without a photo in mind. I added the picture to give an idea of what it looks like with a photo.

...make a gift card.
This is a great way to send a christmas card and a gift all in one step.Using a gate fold card I have added a bracelet to the middle of the card with brads to hold it in place. I enlarged the image of the christmas tree and added silver bows.
