Friendships.

Yesterday I went to Alford to Simply Create,
Jacqui has the most lovely shop.
Kath was doing a Christmas demo
and it was lovely to see her work.

I was bit nervous about going,
I will be honest,
I have suffered with
depression for a few years,
and a last result is I often feel
very anxious in new settings
or with people I don't know.

I find it easier to have friendships
online rather than make new ones
face to face.....

But I have got to know Kath online
for a few years now
and it was worth going
to get not one... but two hugs
from this lovely lady!

This was a wee card I made for Kath.

~~~~~T~~~~~

This was a card that we all made at the demo
after Kath made a similar one.
I love the white, brown and black
on the brown base card.

I loved the mix of the white
embossing powder and plain versamark
on the brown card.

~~~~~T~~~~~

The next two are makes from today.
This one was inspired from yesterdays
demo card.
I have used Penny Black script stamp
in the back ground and I have no idea
who makes the large snowflake stamp
I have embossed with white powder.

I am entering over at
Creative Inspirations
who want Xmas cards,

~~~~~T~~~~~

This wee wall hanging is made
using Penny Black script stamp
again in the background
and a stickaroo on the top.
I couldn't find my swirly stamp
so used the tail feathers of
a wee birdie stamp to edge the base.

Penny Black want you not to be square.
Oh Alice want text featured.
Pixie Dust wants swirls.

Hope you are all well, I am off to go see what
you have all been up to.

Hugs
Love teen xx

ABC and Secret Crafter both are
looking for easel cards.

Allsorts want travel featured.
Just Magnolia say anything goes.
Passion for promarkers want shabby chic.

the good, the bad and the downright naughty!

Yesterday was ment to be a crafty day with Amanda
but that's now going to be tomorrow!
I even got us some new Gorguss Girls to stamp with!
They are now availably to buy as single stamps.
They are still in their wrappers till tomorrow.
But I have had a wee colour in thanks to Debbi sending me some images!!!

I have had some beautiful cards and images sent to me by some lovely girlies.
Will get them photographed and blogged as soon as I can.

My Lap top is now home!!!
woooooooo hoooooooooooo
It has just been way too cold to sit at the PC upstairs for too long
so haven't been keeping up with you all!

And now the naughty..........
yes you guessed it....Miss Poppy-dog!

I have sat making my Lovely friends Briony & Charlie a baby card.
I bought the template, got the thick card,
cut it out and covered it in pretty pink baby papers.
Inked all the edges....left them to dry

I heard a chewing noise from behind me.
Poppy had pinched the letter B and was happily chewing away at the corner!!
When I roared at her......she just looked at me......
and then spat out the corner of the letter!


Andrew says she was trying to make the B into a P for Poppy!!!
he was on night shift and so Poppy goes into guard do duty!
And at 5 am she came upstairs with a packet of crisps
she had found downstairs and smacked me on the head with it!
She was hopeful for breakfast!!!
she so didn't get breakfast!

please read and pass on.

I was reading about two wonderful causes yesterday and today in friends blogs...


Firstly go and see Curts blog to read his post about a Valentines challenge and blog candy.
Curt says
"My post today is my contribution to Pat Adam's cause for the children at Children's Hospital of Michigan. Pat was given a very tall request by the administrator there. She asked if Pat could come up with 1,000 valentines for the kids to swap with each other and give to parents and staff. Yes, you read it correctly, 1,000. So I, along with a bunch of other stampers have committed to help with this huge request. So, today I will show you what I made to send. Stay tuned because I'm giving away some blog candy as well as several others if you choose to help with this worthy project."

The lovely Curt has made 24 cards!!!
7 beautiful designs.

Go and have a look and while you are there check out his beautiful photographs and his handsome doggies !

Information there about sending cards is all on the blog!


I have almost finished two to send to Pat, hope she gets them in time!


Secondly please go to my friend Gina's blog and read about her friend Steph.
Life is hard for many people and this is heartbreaking.

She is trying to help raise funds for a lady called Steph who has been told she has
around 5 Months to live and is desperate to try to prolong her life
by having special treatment in Germany that she can't receive in the UK.

I will go make a donation and have made this card to send to a friend of mine
who is also fighting cancer just now.

Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet
is fighting some kind of battle!
