Whoa!

It's scary whe you leave your blog to it's own devices and come bck to find it all looks different behind the scenes! I can't find spell check so sorry!! Been busy with this and that so crafty stuff has taken a back seat. As has pushing Bubbaboobits. ucky onesIf you tied it yourself I'm sure you'll agree that trying to make money is not compatable with crafting unless you are one of the lucky ones or great at self promotion. I'm no so much! So I'm still going to do the odd card for friends but have bitten the bullet and increased my day job hours.I feel like I'm turning tail and accepting defeat but hey ho-money must be made and at least it's good job, so hopefully it's the right way to go. Maybe I can just focus on having fun wth crafting now. This is a card I made for my frind, forher new niece. Very girly aand blingy! Hope you like!

Success!!

Bless! I caught Grey!(That's what I've been calling him/her)The RSPCA lady is on her way to collect him and hopefully he'll have a better chance in life now. He' not very happy with me but is very calm and hopefully will be sorted out soon as his neck looks very sore and his nose is bit scratched too. I haven't seen him in over a week so didn't think it would happen but there you go- result! I hope I can find out what happens to him. Any hoo- catch you later!

This is a cute little number I created for my IACW post on Friday. I love the bunting and have a feeling it will be well used! No joy on the cat catching- will need some smellier bait!Been spending some time on the craft room/garage.Doing electrics and walls next week! Yay! TFL xx

Two nil on the RSPCA trap! I caught a very perturbed ginger cat and a hedgehog but no grey scrap!On the scrap front I've done a layout- of my mum! In March I did a "get things done "article on IACW where I vowed to do an album about my mum.So here's my first page!

Being pro active

Well I've had a busy morning and not a piece of paper in sight(boo!!) But I've beendoing good things.The picture of the cat is not one I've met but one that bears a strong resembelance to the one that's been living rough outside my garden. Sadly my one is not in good condition and I've been trying to catch him/her for several days with our cat carrier.I put posters up in the area to see if I could find the owners.( Had a nice suprise suprise moment built in my head that someone might phone, overjoyed that I'd found him) Sadly I discovered his owners,whose home also backs onto where he is sleeping, moved house and decided not to pack him! Niceeeee!! So I hve now got a RSPCA trap that I've been shown how to set.I'm armed with cat food and a wterproof cover and I'm determined to help the poor little guy. People can be really cr*p can't they!!He's beautiful but in really bad condition( injuries and matted :-( ) and I wish I could home him but given my two little tinkers would not appreciate company that won't be an option, but I'm hoping we catch him and help him out.

Now thats done I'm going to have to take the kids out for a vital club penguin membership(!!) and Easter activites to make. May get a bit of mummy craft in too!! Have you made your lollies yet?? Catch you soon! x

Welcome to the Hop!!

Welcome to the blog hop and thanks for stopping by! I'm have a scary Easter fact for you!(Whispers!) Not everyone likes chocolate Easter treats! Nooooo! How can that be??!! Any way, if you know one of these unusual peeps and want to give them a sweet treat read on and try my lolly bouquet!You will need about 6-9 lollies, coloured tissue,vellum and double sided tape.


Wrap your lolly head in coloured tissue.


Twist and secure with tape.


Fill a little tub or pot with a lump of plasticine. I've used an ice cream carton. Cover the inside with some tissue and then decorate the outside of the container.


Punch out 5 or 6 circles of vellum and attach to the double sided tape to make a flower.



Finally, you need to cut out some leaf shapes. Add some double sided tape to the end and you can add them to the lolly sticks or side of the pot for a bit more body. Pop your flowers in the pot and you're done.


And this is your finished bouquet! Quite sweet isn't it?

So we mentioned giveaway's! Well I'm doing a teeny little personal one.It's pictured below and includes a May Rd mini book,Tando Creative cutouts,8x8 vellum( for you to have a go!), a crafter'sworkshop 6x6 template and some cute wooden flowers that I use for everything!
