Missing in action.....

Sorry I haven't been around,
am ok, thank you for all the emails asking if I was alright.
You are all wee honey pies!
And thank you for my pressies and cards that arrived in the post this week.
I promise I will post on here pictures of the beautiful cards you have all made!

{{{{{{{{{{HUGS }}}}}}}}}}

I do not know where the week has gone......
Tuesday card class was fab again, will add on photo's later on.

Wednesday had reflexology and then dog class in the evening......
I put Poppy in the car and after starting it discovered the headlight had blown.
It is so dark here now in the evenings
and it is a country road with no head lights most of the way.
I am ashamed to admit I am a real girl when it comes to car maintenance....
I had no idea how to change the bulb!

Andrew had just left for a night shift, neighbour's hubby was out and next door
didn't know how to do it either....but they was so kind and lent me their car to take
Poppy to her dog class.....the only thing was my car is a heavy diesel scenic
and their lovely wee car was a light petrol one....
so I was trying so hard not to over rev it!

I do not enjoy driving any one else's car.....but we got there. They saved the day!

Thursday....what did I do?
oh weekly blood test......and spent the rest of the day pottering around.

Friday took friend to hospital for a biopsy and it is at least 2 hours drive there and then back.
We did pop into paper mill shop while she was having test and lump removed.
And did a bit of Christmas shopping.

Was shattered today, managed to get a few things done.
But done very little crafting since Tuesday evening class.
I went round to Emma's and made a couple of beaded bits....
not showing here as they are pressies and wee noses might see!!!
My parents are coming tomorrow to take us out for lunch
so not sure I will get anything done then either....have a few bits to do still for Xmas.

hope you are all ok.
much love xxxx

PIF picking Poppy dog ( ~ 3rd post of today)

At long last..... as promised.....three winners of the "PIF if you want to candy!"

As selected by the Poppy monster!

So you need a few things to do it this was.....
no random selection generator here you know!

You need a Poppy -dog.

You write out everyone who commented name's on a bit of paper.
Then you show Poppy the bucket!



Then you need to get the bit of paper from her
before she tears it pieces !!!




First out of the bucket is...................


1)That says Joana


Next is


2) Mrs Elf .........Emma.......oh thats it!

FIX!! FIX!

you have been giving Poppy more bloody biscuits to bribe her!
I seen you whispering in her ear last time we were at your house!!!!

3)


Last but not least......Dawn.

Now the idea about PIF is you then pass something on
but I am leaving that up to you my dears,
you can if you want, but if not that is ok too!


Joana & Dawn ....I don't have your address's,
could you please email it to me tina@colliecairn.co.uk.

Emma.....I know where you live! I will send Poppy round with it tomorrow!!

Super model Poppy-dog




Last week, we took Poppy-dog to pets at home so she could get her shopping....
and each week she is behaving better and better!

She walks round the store on her lead right beside me.
She no longer tries to take stuff like raw hide bones off the shelf.
Or tries to pick toys up and take them home with her!

Anyway..........


when we were there we noticed they were doing Pet portraits and you could come back the following week and buy prints ( not cheep!) if you wanted them.

Poppy behaved like a wee star and this week we picked up 3 of the 4 prints.



But declined the huge Portrait which was very expensive! and TBH
was more like a mug shot you get done in the police station after you are fingerprinted!!!
She looked like a killer dog!!


And, also since she had been carrying her raw hide bone,
she also had a wee bit of frothy dog slobber on her lip!!!

She was so patient when we were waiting to get pictures,
a wee boy came over a spoke to her,
he patted her and spoke away to her,
and had a look at her ears and lifted her lip to see her teeth!
She is so gentle with kids she just stood there and let him.

Ok so she did lick his hands a few times.....but she is a Labrador!!

She was so well behaved, I was very proud of her!
She had a look at the bunnies and guinea pigs,
sniffed and wagged her tail, but was quiet calm about it.


I know I am biased......but she is my mini Labrador super model!

what a cr@p card!

Now Mrs Elfie said on comments she left on my blog warning me about the
fact she had made me a crap card, well.....


she did.....

Warning.....the following picture is of a crap card!




But to be fair she more than redeemed her self with my gift!!

This photo dose not do it credit!
The altered box is just amazing!
It is gold and purple, has beads and a witch ,tarot cards!




I love it!!!!


And inside!!!!


How fab is this!


Thanks babe! I do love you ....honest!!!

Since not everyone is online all the time like me just now I will make it a lucky draw to pick the three people I will send the my PIF post to!

You can chose if you want to make thsi PIF and pass it on....or you can not pass it on....whatever.....
But the universe likes it if you play nice!!!!

I will leave this up till Sunday too.

The three picked PIF'rs will be randomly selected by Labrador !

Oh come on,

I have seen you guys pick your winner by a child or cat on here!!!!
I will do it when Andrew is here...
he can catch her before she eats the paper with the name on it!!!!!



So I have three Sugar Nellie Stamps.....some ribbon and some 6x6 papers awaiting a new home........


So leave me a comment by Sunday if you would like one of the Maggie/Nellie stamps....
