Signing off...

Hello and Good morning dear Crafters, 
 Just popped by to say goodbye for a little while, (at least I hope it's only a little while) we are moving house, as some of you may know and our internet will be switched off as of today and I will be without until we can reconnect in our new house. I've had a very busy time packing up every room, where on earth did all this craft stuff come from :o)  We are just about packed up now and ready to go. 
 I was chatting to my Daughter (in America) last night on skype, she was making 50 baby shower invites and I had to sit watching, as a crafter it's horrible just watching I wanted to get my hands in there and help!

Anyway I will be back as soon as possible and raring to get back into making my cards again. 
(Can't wait)... time to pack away the computer :o(

See you all very soon. :o)
Love & hugs

Tilda with flower ~Anything goes at Tilda's Town

Good afternoon dear Crafters,

It's lovely to be back blogging a card, 

hope you all enjoyed your new year celebrations!

This week at Tilda's town it's an Anything Goes challenge and we all love those don't we? yeah!

For my card I've used this super cute Tilda with flower who was given to me by a very dear friend on Docrafts, (Thank you)  Crafters really are lovely, generous people aren't they.

I thought it would make a change to make a Spring/Summer card, even though I do love making Christmas/Winter cards too. 

I've used Pion papers, roses from WOC, sparkly button & ribbon from The Ribbon Girl

Kort & Godt pearls

lace from my stash. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you will join us over at Tilda's Town  for this new challenge, your Happy New Year cards were stunning!

Don't forget you can win a $10 gift voucher to spend at

Tilda's Town store 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On another note I would just like to thank you all so much for your very kind comments on my cards throughout 2012. 

We are moving house within the next two weeks so I am going to be busy packing and then unpacking for a while (bet you don't envy me eh?)

I am hoping to schedule a few DT cards in the meantime (I hope blogger is kind and makes it work for me) I will be back in full swing, raring to go just as soon as we are settled in to our new house.

 I still have internet connection for a little while, so I shall grab a few minutes between packing to keep in touch when I can.

 Take care all of you, I will miss you, see you all again soon.

Big hugs

Happy 2013

Good morning dear crafters, 

It's Sunday morning, how are you feeling? 

are ready for that second cup of coffee like me?

Well, if you've wrapped all the presents, trimmed your tree and you are feeling all shopped out come and join us

because today we are having a Blue Christmas over at Addicted to Stamps ;o)

and the lovely Christmas calendar is from Pink Gem designs, I saw it here on the lovely Jenny's blog and loved it, thanks for the inspiration Jenny. 

WOC roses

Jingle bells, blue organza ribbon and blue berries The Ribbon Girl

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I made this card for someone very special to me, my dear Aunt June (my favourite Auntie) I know I shouldn't have a favourite but I love her to bits, she's always been so kind to me and she's been 'into' every single craft over the years, she's been a huge inspiration to me.  Last February she was diagnosed with cancer and hasn't long to live, she is taking each day as it comes and trying to make the best of it, she's very brave in my eyes. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 On that note I will say, have a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS, enjoy having your family around you and let them know how special they are to you.
