Again life has got in the way and flow by....
2015 starts tomorrow - lets hope its a tad slower and I can get my life organised (well, there's a first time for everything I guess!!) lol



lots of plans for the new year.. (apart from getting me organised!)
40 fancy dress party invites to make and a costume to sort (or 3),
craft room to find and de-clutter,

a couple of summer craft fairs to sell at,
make one Christmas card a week,

make birthday list and get made in advance...
I could go on....

So off to the design programme to crack on with the party invites, photos to follow..

Where does the time go?!?


Sorry, not been here for a while - new job and Christmas getting in the way...

Meanwhile, Christmas shopping - done
                    Cards posted - done
                      Christmas pudding made - done
                    decorations up - not quite finished..
                    my boys christmas cards - made - (see below)
                  Christmas cake decorated - still feeding it brandy!
                Craft fairs finished - one left tomorrow
                 Presents wrapped - ROFLMAO!!! (no way!)
                  Diet? - what diet?!?

So below are the 3 Christmas cards I have must finished for my boys..



All three digi images are from KennyK.
My first Christmas images coloured with Promarkers.
Just need to master the technique of going off the card with the embelishments - its a bit alien to me! lol

Entering the first 2 into

Finished cards from Alison and myself








Bonus make



 Ladies cards in process










Plans are in the pipelines for another class next year (dates to be confirmed) but it will be 1 or 2 days.
£30 per day or £55 if both booked together (2 different projects)
Cant wait!








On 29th October we held a parchment workshop in Peterborough with Alison Yeates of Kingfisher Crafts.
13 ladies worked their socks off with Alisons help.
A very successfull day.
Below are photos taken on the day.






I will just tweak some photos then show you what they were doing close up ;-)

Back from a celebratory weekend in Harrogate.
My eldest niece got married.  She looked stunning and it all went without a hitch (apart from the odd fluffed line - just nerves!!)
I have serious craft withdrawal symptoms as havent touched anything since Friday night!

I think I might have another go at Pro Marker coloring, while I think about what Christmas decoration to make next..  (photos to follow shortly)

I will attempt to post on here my first go at colouring with Promarkers....
I'm still trying to find the paper/card stock that works the best and my printer ink doesnt bleed on..
But loving these pens ;-)


I've just spent the past hour trying to find where the image is from... Cant find it..
I just know it was for a challenge this month...
Found it - MoonFlower designed the image...


As you will learn from future posts - computers and me is NOT a good combination! LOL

Bad Weigh Day :(


Brief update - I have been a Weight Watchers member for 22 months.. Loads of ups and down in the process of losing 2 stone..  Made my Dr's set goal of 11 stone 6 on June 14th.. and since then have snuck back up to  (what was last night) 11 stone 10...
So last night was a grumpy Tree! 


but I weighed my jeans and trainers this morning.. 2.74lb !
This is what I usually get weighed in during the winter so made a big difference from my summer clothes..  Hoping next week levels itself out. 


I want to be under 11 stone for Christmas!

Craft wise, yesterday was a good day. Kate came over again to help clear the 'craft room' - good pile went in recycle bin ;-)  loads of part completed projects found!
Time for a bit of crafting this morning - finish another Christmas bauble then off for a coffee this afternoon with my sister.  Will work out how to put photos on here tomorrow ;-)
