new home birdie

Typical.....
I have made my craft room
into a spare room for a friend to stay,
and I have loads of ideas of things to make
and time to play with my new inks and stamps.


Another friend is moving into her
new home, after many weeks
of alterations keeping her
at her Mam's house.
She loved my home made jams,
so a gift bag with jams in it
will be delivered to her new door!

I will be honest,
it is not how I imagined it to end up.
But I quite like it.

I don't like making the bags
themselves too fussy,
so the eye is taken
to the tag itself.

Hope you are all grand
Much love Teen xx

What's On My Workdesk Wednesday

What's on Your workdesk Wednesday?

I love Wednesdays....
I don't work on a Wednesday,
and try to make it a day
that I spend with a friend,
or craft,
and just please myself......

I don't always manage it.

But I did today.
I made 5 wee
stampin up Owl tags.

I can only give you a wee sneaky peek
as they are attached to my fave
brown bags with goodies in,
to give to Friends as gifts.

And since they have not received
their gifts yet.......


Talking of nice surprises.
Hubby won a 4.5 litre bottle
of whisky in a local competition,
and collected same dram on
his birthday.....so he was well pleased.

he it is, between two Labradors
so you can see how huge it is!

brown bags and birds.

I can't believe it is Wednesday
again all ready!!!
I was going to join in with WOYWW
but all you would see is a pile of stuff
that I have abandoned in a half hearted
clean up session this morning,
before I left it all to go and meet a
friend for lunch!

I bought a pack of brown bags
to decorate and use instead of wrapping
for gifts, so with only 6 or so used so far
and 100 in the pack....
you will be seeing a lot more of
these babies!

The junior at my hair salon
is moving into her first home,
so I made a card and decorated the
bag with some mugs, tea bag, coffee
and a few other goodies.

I am enetering the card in the
following challenges ~
Papertake weekly want anything goes
with optional extra of flowers.
Penny black at allsorts want flowers as well.
Penny Black want you to follow a sketch.

I flipped the sketch round.

I made the edge of the tag to match the mugs.

Hope you are well.
Am off to dog class with Bella Boo.....
her report card might say
"Must try harder..."

Happy Birthday Becca,

Our niece Becca celebrated turning
20 this week.
We spent a lovely day with her in Aberdeen
where she is in her second year
of training to be a sick kids nurse.
I am so very proud of Becca
and can not believe how
grown up my baby niece is....



Anyway......

I stamped the brown bag
and popped loads of goodies in it.
This is the wee photo book I made her.

and inside.....

these are four of her fave pictures just now.

hope you are grand
Love Auntie Teen xxx
