Monday, February 25th, 2008Oh where have I been! It seems like ages since I uploaded a new creation for you, and I wish life was just a little bit slower at present so I could dedicate a bit more time to my little blog! You may have heard that the retired list from our current stampin’ up! catalogue [...]
Blue frost..
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008You may know that I love my spectrum pads – I especially love the technique of crayon resist using these pads and gloss cardstock, so when I saw that the current spectrum pads were being dropped from the 2008 catalogue I had a moment of panic – I still had one pad that I hadn’t [...]
sale-a-bration nearing the end..
Monday, February 18th, 2008Every year it seems time just flies past faster and faster, but the speed at which 2008 is travelling by is plain ridiculous. We are more than halfway through February, it will be Easter in just over 4 weeks! I have barely put the christmas tree away and yet somehow am surrounded by easter eggs [...]
sore and poor!
Saturday, February 16th, 2008A question – what is important for you but the end result makes you sore and poor?? – The dentist of course! My pet hate, my childhood nightmare, my adult phobia. I hate everything about it, the smell of the antiseptic that you only find at the dentist, the spine tingling, ear piercing shrill of [...]
happy birthday Joel!
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008At this exact time 9 years ago, I was going through the oh-so-pleasant experience of labour, attempting to give birth to my first child. 30 hours and an emergency cesearean later, I finally got to hold Joel for the first time. Happy birthday Joel!

I have another card to share with you that was made with Valentine’s Day in mind, in some very non traditional colours. I have developed a love for the colour ‘more mustard’, it just seems to go with everything! The vanilla card was stamped with the linen background in mellow moss, and the ‘love’ stamped in [...]
no time to make a card!
Friday, February 8th, 2008I hear that statement all the time, so I thought I would share with you the world’s simplest cards. If you think you don’t have time to make that loved person in your life a special card for Valentines day, you are so wrong! It would take you more time to drive to the shop, [...]
A difficult week..
Friday, February 8th, 2008Being a nurse is not a good thing sometimes, a bit of medical knowledge seems to give you permission to diagnose everyone’s symptom and somehow we tend to look on the worst end of the scale when looking for a diagnosis - a nasty headach suddenly becomes a ‘brain tumour’, that sort of thing. So having a [...]
happy hearts..
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008I am home alone today, little miss is having a play at grandad’s house, the boys are at school, and my 2 scruffy dogs are banned from indoors after they dug a hole, almost all the way to China, in my backyard today. Mind you, they have not really dug before, so I am putting it down [...]
while I was sleeping…
Monday, February 4th, 2008…my counter ticked over 30,000 and I should have shared with you who the winner of my stamp set was this morning when I awoke, but due to the fact that dh and I were up late last night watching the latest episode of Lost 2008, followed by the fact that I was so spun [...]
