Walk 10- Castle Howard 31st July 2011

What were you doing on a fine sunny Sunday evening, well, myself and three other Admin Angels, above, (as well as few others of course), walked 10k for Marie Curie. Thank you ladies I had a lovely time, although I feel pooped this evening, I can't burn the candle at both ends anymore, but all in aid of a good cause, thank you to all who have sponsored us.

The beautiful Castle Howard, the views were wonderful, and the mochacino afterwards was delish too.

Magical Winter - Polkadoodles

As promised earlier, here are the two cards I have made this afternoon, they look flat on the pics but are quite dimentional as I have stuck them to the base with pinflair gel. You ought to see the pile of stuff I have printed out on my desk lol. Ummm will have to be more patient, persevere, and find out how to resize the images, techy, I am not.

Just a Few

A couple of cards I have made, have made a few but forget to take piccies I'm sure we've all been there. The top one is for lovely Anne, hope you had a smashing birthday yesterday hun.

Apart from the tinternet probs, have had a lovely afternoon, and am surprised and pleased to say I have been using a CD, Polkadoodles to be precise. I have a few CD's but not been impressed, have watched Nicky on C&C lots of times and really liked the images, but have been put off because they are CD's, decided to take the plunge with the new Magical Winter and the paper she uses for printing on. I love stamping and colouring, but it's such a mamoth task for Christmas cards but this CD offers the best of both as I can colour as much or as little as I want to as they come pre coloured or black and white. I will post the couple I have made when they are dry.

Am sposed to be getting DD ready for her camp next week, most of the washing is done and she can pack her own stuff, am carrying on crafting LOL, well I am off work for a week.

Prom 2011

Just a couple of pics of Jess dressed up for her prom, I know it's late but have been having trouble with the tinternet, been on twice to them today, urrgghhhh, technology, great when it works LOL.

Well I Tried - Alcohol Drip Technique

Looks promising doesn't it, well please don't be deceived, ha, ha, ha. Well, you know the lovely Hels has been on a big adventure the the old U S of A, and has been to Ranger U, well on her blog she is publishing some tutorials. This is the before pic, well even got out my new craft sheet, my other is in a sorry old state, stained lumpy and bumpy and to top it all today, I got uttee all stuck to it while playing with some moulds that the very kind and thoughtful Anne made for me, but that's another story, OOOh and yes we went to Aintree yesterday, not to bet on the Gee Gees but to a craft show and a great time was had by all of us. Back to the matter in hand, this is the result of my effort below.

I'm not too sure that drip, in my case is how I would describe what happened, it was more like a flood that Noah and his Ark would be proud of. The alcohol ink "Pooled" a bit too much in places then in others I didn't seem to put enough, arhh, never mind, I've had a go, LOL.

Best get a move on, have been off work today and tother arf will be expecting his tea ont table when he gets home, fat chance!!

Just a few things

That's my boy, nearly eight months old now, couldn't resist.

Just a few cards I have done in the last couple of weeks, although I've not crafted this week, don't know where the time goes.

Ventured off this morning to Yorkshire Lavender, well, I won't be going again, advertised having a deer park, was thinking they would be a roaming on those hills, but oh no, they were in an enclosure, not my ideer (lol, sorry!), of a deer park, even as cute as they were. Ended up calling in Pet's at home for a new dog brush and a toy, which is, the toy, in bits in the bin, I think that puppies are always on a mission to destroy in the fastest time possible, our poor old lady hasn't a cuddly toy left.

Well it's time for Walkies (said in a Barbara Woodhouse fashion), then it's buffet food and the Eurovision, yes I know it's a load of old twaddle but it's funny and we enjoy watching, much easier now as most artists, I say that loosely, sing in English. Must admit, not that hungry at the mo, was very naughty and not on the diet list, but we had lunch in Chiquitos.

Have a lovely weekend and take care all.

Not yet a Fusioneer

OH dear, need much more practice, here are my first attempts, think I'm cack handed, my wrist doesn't wiggle, but never mind I thoroughly enjoyed myself and got paint all over. But of course, did I go for the beginners set of stamps......OH NO, I wanted to do the pretty butterfly and flowers, serves me right, won't be a painted watering can outside my door this summer, ha, ha, ha.

One plus is that I have cracked the crackle effect LOL.
