poor poppy puppy......

well this day has finally arrived.....Poppy is starving and will not get no breakie...
I am dropping her off at the vets to be spayed this morning.....
She knows something is going on, she is hyper!

She is going crazy cause she didn't get her last biscuit before bed, and now no breakfast!!!!


We missed Puppy class last night, I wasn't feeling well.
So no class now for a few weeks till she heals.

I made this altered CD for the lady who takes the class, she has rotties.


if you look carefully, the backing paper is actually cats and their paw prints....

I didn't manage to line the holes up so well on this one, but I still like it!
Her Rottie is a beautiful girlie dog who wears a pink collar so hence the choice of ribbon colour!

And I made this one for a mate at work who has been poorly....


It looks just like her cat Archie....but I think, i may have stuck his tail on the wrong way!!!



Yes Emma .....they are addictive!
Thank you everyone for the blog comments....
I will be sorting my blog replies later on this evening....
Thank you so much for my gold cards!
How am I going to pick only five people to give it to!?!
you are all priceless!
Am gonna get very little done at work today....

Just for Chrissy

Actually Chrissy.......



I do have a Blue Peter's badge!









But I can't tell you no more about it, or how I won it......

It's a secret!

well I am sagitarian,,,,

You Are a Centaur

In general, you are a very cautious and reserved person. However, you are also warm hearted, and you enjoy helping others in practical ways. You are a great teacher, and you are really good at helping people get their lives in order. You are very intuitive, and you go with your gut. You make good decisions easily.

What Mythological Creature Are You?

first altered cd

So this was made from pinching oh I mean being inspired by an idea from Emma,
The image sent to me from Sammi,
And the Ribbon was from Linda, who I bought the cropodile from!
I didn't get the spacings quiet right, but I love the end effect!

purple purple everywhere, then a drop of pink...

I guess the blog and user name give it away...
I love purple. Even my tattoo has purple in it!
Lilac, violet, indigo.....love them all!

Around my house there are many purple things,
but strangely no purple or lilac painted walls...
I plan to change that this year....Don't tell Hubby!



But today I noticed these things...
Mainly because the purple Crop-o-dile I bought arrived today in its purple case!
I am so chuffed with it!
I have been busy adding eyelets to all sorts.....




And my beautiful Blog candy from Linda!



Thank you very much, I am a lucky lassie!

Thank you also for the beautiful cards you sent with the goodies!



I entered blog candies for the first time in these last few weeks and have been lucky twice!
I am loving meeting the new people through blogging too!
I started gathering stuff up to do my first blog candy.....

I would like to spend more time in the garden today, weeding and stuff,
but since I live in Scotland and it is July,
it is of course windy and raining at times !
The rain stopped long enough for me to take these pictures.....

The mini sweet peas....pink with a surprising purple one are so sweet!




Lavender is one of my favorite plants, I love the fact it comes in so many shades of purple, and even one in white! I love the smell of it after the rain, the way it soothes you and how its oils has so many healing properties.

Right I am off to go and put eyelets on some more stuff! Have a nice weekend!

what rhymes with orange

It seems that nothing rhymes with orange or silver.....

anyway, I was looking at Chrissy's Friday fable.
I really enjoyed the challenge last week, and ended up with a card that was completely different top anything I had made before....
This week made me think about angels, something that I do believe in.
I looked in a beautiful book that a dear friend Jenni gave me,
all about having an Angel at your side.
It was full of quotes, poems and thoughts about Angels.

And this one was what I stuck with.....


"The best and most beautiful things in the world
Can not be seen or even touched
They must be felt with the heart"

by Helen Keller.

And I produced two cards...using the poem and orange as my theme....

the first one I really was not happy with....

I tried to make an angel using mulberry paper and it looked like it had been made by a three year old..... I know we should all find our inner child sometimes....BUT!

Anyway......

I am still not able to find the fairies and angels I know I have,

So I had another go at a card, and this one I love.

It has three tiny angels on it , hiding!



the large flower is made from hand made paper I bought with pressed flowers in it,
and the centre of the flower is a Brad you can tie ribbon through from poppicrafts.

Thank you lovely Sammi

Yesterday I received my first ever blog candy in the post from the lovely Sammi !
This was the first time I have won anything like this and I was so pleased with the beautiful cards and stamped images that Sammi sent me from Auz!
All in a gorgeous deep purple wallet card.
And the wondeful little Bethany Rose the Gumnut!
Go check out her beautiful downloads that are available to buy! her drawings are so fab!


THANK YOU SAMMI !!



I didn't post about it yesterday due to my post about Laura.
But the fantastic pink and black ribbon from the blog candy took pride of place on one the cards
I sent to Laura's family.
The supportive comments and emails I got were so nice Thank you all.
It's so lovely all the support and friendship that crafty bloggers show
in so many sites I have looked at through links from other peoples blogs!
