BAD BLOGGER

I am such a bad blogger I will try and be better (hahaha) but things just happen and I forget to put things on.

Herspace-myspace

The word today is balance an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady or creating stability in your own mind.

sorry that the picture is a little bit out of focus that could be due to the drink (hahahaha) I took this photo yesterday in are local pub and it is a very local one as it is only about 50ft from are front door. We went in the morning to see the Morris dancers then stayed and ended up playing Jenger which is great but when you have had a bit to drink it is very hard. We moved to Cornwall a year and a half ago for quite life that is a joke the village that we moved to is very only has a shop, pub and church but the social life is great, always something going on most weeekends the people have made us feel very welcome.

Hope you have a great day will be back tomorrow I promise and with pic of work that I have been doing. :~)

***** CAKES ****

Herspace-myspace is Cake a sweet little celebration- have you got cakes (course you have cakes!)

I'VE BEEN BUSY

These are a few layouts that I have done in the last few days. Want to try and get at least 4 or more done a week (hahahaha) I will be lucky.

Herspace-myspace

Herspace-myspace today is SURPRISE a reaction to something unexpected, have you had any surprise of late.

This photo is of what my husband brought me Valentines day the Jack Johnson CD was in the car all wrapped up so when I went out to the car to take daughter to work found it there we are going to see Jack Johnson in concert in July in Newquay, so getting his new CD was really great what a sweet heart.

Wednesdays herspace-myspace was TOWER a tall narrow construction either free standing or forming a part of a building.

Sorry couldn't think of anything to put so this is my recycle tower, not very intresting

Tuesdays herspace-mysapce was FUNGUS mold, yeast, mushroom or toadstools.

This is was taken in the village shop, nice fresh Cornish mushrooms OOOOOO.

Sorry haven't been around well I have been but just having a lot of trouble with blog it has taken me 11/2 to get this on because it just will not let me put photo's on then it leaves great big space. Never mind will get there one day.

Tuesday Night Crop

I did this layout on Tuesday night at Scrapangels crop in St.Agnes in Cornwall. The layout was using Fancypants papers, brizzill card and clear bottoms that we stuck onto the paper. The large word was Love but with no O on it so I put a heart were the O should be. LOVE is "having you in my life" these pictures were taken on our wedding day 23 years in August, oh that seems as if it was only yesterday how time flys. Do go over to scrapangels site as you can get these kits monthy and she does some great kits also if you live in Cornwall you have to go to her shop it is a wonderful shop also Rebecca has online shop.

New Years Resolutions

Did this layout last weekend at http://www.scrapangels.co.uk/ it is a new class that rebecca that owns the shop has started for this year it is called aan album through the year. It is to create a double-page spread for you ablum the class is once a month which means at the end of the year I should have 24 pages done.
January pages were to do with resolutions, soon the first page I wrote down what I would like to do this year.
1. De-clutter the house, 2. Read more books, 3. Get all my un-finished craft bits finished and do lots more scrapbooking, 4. Try and go on lots more walks on the moors and get fit, 5. Paint our bedroom and make it more Tranquil, Enjoy lots of weekends away in the van with peter, 7. Take part in the Race For Life at the eden project.
So at the end of the year I can look back and see what I have been able to do.

On the second page I put photo's to do with what my new year resolutions are, I still need to put two more photo's on a de-cluttering photo and a photo of our van.

Well will try and add something later but I have a scrapbooking class to get ready for tomorrow, If any ladies reading this and live in cornwall and want to come scrapbooking just let me know as I have classes every month in are local village hall (Lewannick) and always love to have new people coming along.

SO SORRY

I just want to say so sorry for not being a good blogger and to all of you that have been
looking at my blog and there has been nothing new, I don't know what happened at the
end of last year what with having the flu what seems like a life time then Christmas and
then after Christmas lots of birthdays birthdays.

Well I am back for some more crafting.








This card was made for my friends daughter's 18th birthday, I enlarged the pink petticoat image then printed it onto bling bazzil card.






Her mum new what she wanted and was so pleased with the result.


I then made her a book for all her friends to sign at her 18th birthday, I got the idea
from my friend Caroline who made a beautiful pink on back in October for someone.
I used my new Bind-it-all machine that I got for Christmas. I used paper that was from a scrapaholix kit from last year,














I used my cricut to do the lettering, the
flower as of a gift take that i got on a bag at Christmas. Down the side where the wire
is I tided ribbons and black wool. Inside
the book i put 50 sheets of white paper, on
every other page i decorated them with
black flowers, ribbon, feather and black
rubons (not all on one page).



Hope you like what i have done, Well i may even put something else on later you never Know........
