Three more & a thought or two

Well I did have a big "to do List" and I am almost there......

Sadly, it is only the 6th of January & I have made five sympathy cards already this year!

People say it seems so much worse at this time of year,
but in fact I think it is hard at any time to loose someone you love & care about.
But it is hard at special times with out them.


I don't normally show any sympathy cards here,
not sure why...they maybe are just too personal.
I find them difficult to do. I don't like them too fussy......


But yet here am I posting one.

I can't decided if it is just too plain.... or too much!? Not sure if I like it at all.

On a happier note....our friends wee girl Emily is 5 later this week,
Andrew is popping this in the post box as he takes
Miss Poppy-Dog for her last walk round the block.

It is my first time using Daisy from Sugar Nellies,
I got a few stamps with Xmas money and really need to start using them.

Another new Sugar Nellie, from the new Leanne Ellis range. I do like them.
It is using my take on A spoonful of sugars sketch 33 by Nikki.


And while I am at it will enter it for papertake weekly who are looking for spots....spots it has!

It is for a friend who starts a new job this week funnily enough!

Hugs for you, from me

Tuesday do's

I must admit , the thought of making Xmas cards is really not something I want to do.

But when I seen Linda's sketch on Just Birthday and Christmas cards.....and I made this


I did think...
oh it will make a nice Xmas card, it is such a nice sketch....
& a card most weeks will mean less stress at Xmas this year.....
but nope I just couldn't do it!
Maybe tomorrow?
They are giving away Faith Looks Shy stamp from Crafty Pad......

Talking of which have you wondered over to check out our Challenge this week?

Go have a look !

Oh and here is a sneaky peek at next weeks which I have done and emailed...GO ME!!!




Over on Arty Girlz they want you to do anything but a card
& today the invites came in for our mates Daughters wedding ....she has grown up so fast!

It is a beautiful pull out invite and the wording is so sweet.

Love fills a lifetime
and a lifetime begins this hour
when the two of us
(inserts names)
begin a new life together.

So this is my thank you for my invite and yes we will be there ~ acceptance.
So not really a card!
