Happy Inky to me.

Having a fabulous extra long weekend off work, 

and spending it doing something fun every day!

I spent all day on Wednesday with my Hubby,

nice lunch out and some Xmas shopping.

Thursday was a fun day with my Bestie, doing Girlie stuff

and out for lunch in a new French place.

Friday was a days shopping with my Bestie

including updating my wardrobe with smaller sizes!

We both had a fab evening with my 

crafty Cousin Joyce. 

Saturday morning, cousin Joyce and I spent

 the afternoon crafting at The Papeterie with Kath. 

And we made these fab cards!

 A meal afterwards with some of the Girlies 

from the The Papeterie which involved 

lovely food and even better company 

was the perfect way to spend my 42nd Birthday.

Today brought my younger brother and his three kids visiting.

Our Poppy dog just loved all the fuss.

 Bella enjoyed being brushed and hoovering up the 

lunch the kids managed to spill! 

A job Miss Boo took very seriously!

I was not that delighted to discover the

girls were using my brush to pamper Bella Boo! 

Afterwards one of our beautiful nieces and her partner took their dog

 and her sister's dog over to go walking with out dogs. 

Cake and coffee and a chat afterwards 

was a great way to chill out on a Sunday evening.

I don't go back to work till Thursday and already have 

two more lunch dates booked up! 

Hope you are all having a fab weekend!

gonna be all white ?

I am a bit of a messy crafter. 

So nothing but white on a card,

means no where to hide mistakes. 

But I had a go after seeing the 

Ribbon Girl Blogs November Challenge. 

I actually think this may be the first 

white on white card I have ever finished! 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. x

A bit of a sketch.....

I saw this sketch  

that Beckie had done

for Ruby Rock It

over on her facebook page. 

And I thought I would give it a go.

Not sure now it has all the elements it is meant to have.

But I am pleased with the end card. 

The ribbon with the charm hanging on it , 

was meant to tie across as the 

bigger butterfly and semi circle

opened out.... 

but it gave the card a bit topple problem...

So I  ended up sticking it down onto the card. 

Hope you are fine

almost a year .....

So more than a year has past, 
and so much has changed. 

In three weeks it will be a year 
since my beloved Dad died. 

Just nine short months after we lost my Mam.

I kinda had nothing to say. 

So I am back now. 

And hoping to keep on top of things. 

hope you are all ok xx

pens, pots and naughty pups....

Well, I know it's been a while, 

And to be honest, this new blogger layout is

driving me nuts!!!

Anyhooo.....

Two makes, 

pen collection and some naughty pups!

Just my ususal! 

 

I have returned to a creative writing group, 

and decided to jazz up a plain kraft A4 folder.

One of the ladies who goes there loved my folder,

so I did one for her. 

I really loved the black heat embossed

 powder on the purple vellum butterflies.

Question.....

How do you store your promarkers?

My latest way, is in small colour groups, in pots in a box. 

Still not perfect but seems the best I have tried so far.

And lastly.....

I was downloading the camera my hubby normally uses....

And discovered this......

 

She has never done this before.....

Well not as far as I know!

 

Butter wouldn't melt.... *sigh*

Hope you are all grand,

Love Teen xx

three ladies

I never did get pictures on here
from the four days
of Girls Just Want To Have Fun.

But two of the "ladies" below were from
the third and fourth days I think.

The one on the square box with
the three bobbins with pink, green & blue
thread was made with the kit I bought on the day.

I have so many half finished projects in my room,
I am trying my best to get some of them finished.

Thank you to everyone who asked
how Miss Bella Boo was after
she hurt her paw.

As you can see she is all better,
and back to being as cheeky as ever!

Here she is, enjoying some luxury treats.

Not sure she is very keen on sharing....

But Poppy will not be one to miss out!

Hope you are grand,
Love Teen xx

What's on My Workdesk Wednesday

Crikey, Wednesday already.
So what's on my workdesk?
Well, I started off with a scrap
of paper, brown, cream, black and red
with butterflies on that I really liked....
I played around with a stamp set
using inks in similar colours....

Thought about making a card,
so coloured a sugar nellie girl,
but then realised there was
no cream in it and too much grey.

And so she ended up on the side
of an altered coffee creamer tin....

I am trying to colour the lid
with alcohol inks,
not sure if I am getting anywhere fast....


So it is now another work in progress...
*sigh*



Bella Boo is now almost mended.
Her paw is nicely healed,
and she is away for her first swim in
weeks to celebrate!

I put the dog bed outside while I hoovered
the living room......

And discovered this....

The other bundle of trouble
is in the dog house today.
She ran out the side gate
and spend twenty minutes
flirting with a handsome Alsatian.

Hope you are grand
Love Teen x
