new year started.

We spend so long preparing
for Xmas and New Year
and it is all over in a flash!

I made a load of calendars
and only took a photo of one of them!

My pups have grown up fast.
Bella is now 3 1/2 and
miss Bella-boo is 10 months,
she was booked into get spayed
this month, leave was booked from work
and she went into heat on boxing day....

walking is a pest, since she wants to run
and hates being on the lead
all the time while Poppy runs about.

Sharing the last of the ice cream.

Hope you are all grand
love teen xx

it's Monday baby!!!! 3rd post of today

Today is the start of another week!
see positive mental attitude!!! do you hear my manic laughter?!?!

Decided an early night was best last night....But couldn't sleep.
Andrew was on night shift and I was just awake.
So got up and coloured some images, as you do!
Go on I know you all do it !!! LOL

Then Poppy decided since I was awake it must be breakfast!
So got her a doggy bickie and we both went to bed.

Half an hour later about 1am the was this all mighty crash outside!
Our garden rubbish wheelie bin had blown over in the wind and knocked over our glass/tin recycling bin! Which was starting to blow right down the street!
So here I was outside picking it all up in my nighty!!!
Thank goodness the paper recycling bin didn't blow over!
It was full of the scrappies and shards from my craft room bin!!!

So back to bed......
6 am Poppy was awake and chewing her rawhide bone on the bed beside me.....
So that was confiscated!!!
7 am looking for for her breakfast I gave up!!!!

So I am pottering around but couldn't get hovering and noisy housework done as Andrew was now in bed sleeping ......so I did what any good crafter would do.....

finished off a card and a calender !!!!

well this is for Secret Crafter's Saturday Challenge,
"anything but a card!"
The beautiful Image was snet to me by the Fabulous Dawny P and my choice of colour was inspired by Dawn who loves browns and orange!
It is also my take on a sketch....but can I find which one is used? NOPE!
will have to go surfing to see!

I made one!

I did it!

my first Christmas card of 2009!!!
Andrew came through when he woke up and said,
what you making?? A Christmas card! you are mental!!!
And left the room !!!

I used sketch #14 by Tanja over at Just Christmas and Birthday cards!
I love the layout and will use it again!

The holly leaves are done using a punch so I can enter it in one stop craft challenge

One down....only how many more to go.....

Will be back later, am waiting on a couple of things drying.

hugs n love

This is my effort for Emma Elfie, I took this at Belle's 3rd Birthday party
and gave this to Emma tonight and since it has her child on it,
I asked it was ok to show it here before posting the picture.
