At Last A Card

Sorry folks for not being around much lately but between blogger problems and real life getting in the way I've just not had time to craft or do much blogging to be honest.I've removed my playlist for now and fingers crossed it seems ok.The last few weeks of the school holiday have just gone by in a flash.Usually I'm a homebird but with my concerts,a hen night,a birthday party,and Louis also went to a couple of birthday parties,I've not had much time to think let alone craft.Keeping a 5 year old occupied all day is very tiring...lol and he gets to stay up a bit later because it's the holidays,so by time he goes to bed,I'm not that far behind him as I'm shattered...lol.Old age etc etc.I've also been put on antihistamine tablets which are supposed to be non drowsy,but I'm absolutely shattered on them too.So a mix of it all and I'm done in.
I did have some commissions to do too but can't share them just now apart from one.They were a real labour of love and each one took days to do because I didn't have much crafty time and because they were to be special cards.One was a wedding card for the bride from her mum,one was an anniversary card for my pal Stu to give to his friends and the other was a silver wedding anniversary card for a girl I go to Body Combat and Body Pump with from me.They are all along a similar line so I'm sure you'll get the idea...lol.

Another Gorjuss Girl.....

I must admit I really love these images even though they've got no mouths...lol.This is number 3 for me and I bought the gorgeous new Blueberry Hill Papers from Papermania which are beautiful so decided to use them.I also decided to use some vellum which I've had for ages and never knew what to do with.
I'm off to crack on with a scrapbook page for my class on Monday night.I want to get it done so I can enjoy the holiday weekend without rushing at the last minute (like usual...lol)

Long Time No Blog..........

Yes it's been a while since I last blogged. But as some fellow bloggers know my little boy was diagnosed with a long term disability last July and so he is my main priority now. Unfortunately my crafting and blogging has taken a back seat,as you can probably understand.I can't promise I'll be posting daily,but I'll try and keep up a bit more regularly.Sorry if I've not visited all your lovely blogs.I hope to spend some time catching up.

I've managed to make a few cards (and bought some) and also had to keep my scrapbooking classes going so I'll hopefully get some of it posted.Unfortunately my heads been in the clouds a bit and forgot to take pictures of some of my cards....dooohhhhhh

This is a card I made for our friends little girl back in January. Daisy from Sugar Nellie coloured with Promarkers,Heidi Grace Paper and SU Stamp set.
I managed to pop along to the Hobbycrafts show at the SECC last Thursday with my friend Lesley. We had a fab day and met up again with the fantastic Kath and the lovely Alison.
I also got to meet some other lovely blog ladies,namely Lorraine, Gayle, Sue and Allison.
It was fabby to meet everyone and see what lovely stash we had all bought.Hope to see them all again in October.

Thanks For Looking
