Sister, Sister x

It was my sisters birthday earlier this month.
I made a few bits and pieces for her.
This was a wee altered box, the first
one I have done, and I am not sure of the
end result but my sister loved it.

A beaded brooch.

My attempt of a shrink plastic keyring,
based on Kath's shown here.

Love is, is my sisters fave passage
and I have used this stamp
in various makes.

Simple earrings with glass cross beads.

The finished card,
inspiration from Tiets

I should have made another fold next the panel
the Fifty is on, the card was quite thick &
it didn't sit as flush as I would have liked.

The Love is stamp is used here again.

I am so behind on blogging.....again......
hope you are all well!

Love Teen xx

sent in post.

Have made a few bits & bobs to post
to pals this last wee while...
but forgot to take pictures of them.
So now they have arrived safe & sound
a few of the people who received them have
kindly taken pictures and emailed them to me!

This went to Debbie
my lovely Crafty Pad creator!

It is following an idea from my lovely
Blogger pal Amanda
who decorated a coffee mate tube for me.
This was an after eights stick tube.
I covered it with some pale green paper.
Covered all the edges with a darker green ribbon.
Added Bo Bunny and some dyed paper
flowers with green or blue gems.
The butterfly is one of Debbies own
butterfly stamps that I love.
They are also available as blog candy.
There is also a sale on at Crafty Pad tomorrow too!

The verse is from the butterfly set too.
I filled it with goodies including
some yummy Aloe Vera hand lotion
from Arran Aromatics.
Who make my all time fave bath goodies
called "after the rain"

I do love tubes of goodies! xxx

Puppy Love?

Brodie is over while his Mum goes out for the evening.
Poppy is delighted, Brodie's mum brought raw hide bones for both doggies!!!
Only problem is Poppy wants the bit Brodie has,
Brodie wants the bit Poppy has,
and so it goes on...........and on.....and on...

It is actually doing Poppy the world of good!
Saying that.....as I type this, she is getting carried away & being a bit
too boisterous.
She has just nipped him as he was gnawing her foot!
He gives as good as he gets and always had the last nip!
She corners him and rugby tackles him!
He stands underneath her and bites her feet!


Sue, Brodie's mum has a new job in a new office,
so I altered this cube note holder for her.





I am not happy with the rub on paw prints.
I think I may have had them too long.
I used my usual tool to apply them, which normally dose the job.
But bits were well & truly stuck to the plastic,
No mater how many I tried they just didn't come off as cleanly as normal.
I settled for the best applied pieces for the holder.


This is from Poppy to Brodie for Valentines.


This was the last of my Valentines Ribbon & it had a crease in it,
Hope it smooths out straight.


And to Archie..who lives with Shirleyanne.


I forgot about the animal brads until I was finished Brodie's card!

back to school!!

Poppy has been a wee madam....

She seems to think that since I am off work just now
that I should give her all my attention ....all of the time....



We met a lady the other day who told me that Labrador's go through a terrible two's stage....
between one and three years......

*sigh*



Anyway....she is very sweet....even though she is a wee thief....
she likes to pinch things from my beside cabinet, or craft table...including scissors!!!

She is only a year old and mainly a good wee dog, behaving most of the time.....
We are back at her dog class this evening,
she had a month off due to Summer holidays and her being spayed.
She dose well at the class, as long as none of the other doggies pay her any attention......

Then she just ignores me and spends all evening trying to go and see them!

Anyway......

I made these as a wee thank you for Donna & Graham who take the dog class.







They have helped us with a few of Poppy's behaviour problems...
like when she was afraid to climb up or down stairs,,,,
including three steps at the vets!!!

Donna spent ages one evening , and helped us completely fix the problem.

Donna has a beautiful Rottie who is a wee star and Graham has a Samoyed who is really funny.
Both dogs attend the class to do the demo's.
