Look what I found.

WOW !!! look what I have discovered, the amazing Rachelle Anne Miller, who does the most fantastic illustrations allows us to use them for our blog banners. How kind is she? you probably all knew that anyway but as I am new to this bloggy thing I was totally unaware. I have visited her site on many occassions to check out the lovely artwork she does, but that was in my sane days before I got blogging !!!

My son has returned from a few days camping in Newquay, Cornwall, sounds like he's had a great time with his girlfriend and some of his mates. He had a car problem on the way home and nearly had a burst tyre, thank goodness he didn't I dread to think what might have happened, thankyou to the AA for the rescue!

I have lots of card orders to make so I really need to get on with it and stop this blog hopping that seems to be my new favourite pastime, oh Debbie what have you got me into !!!!
bye for now

I haven't had a very good week, felt a bit weepy for most of it, I have these bad weeks but they pass. However because my head has been a muddle all week I have totally forgot some VIP's birthday which is today. So when I remembered at 7am this morning I set to and made this card, which is now in the post. It has to wing it's way to Colchester so unfortunatly she will get it late, but I hope she doesn't mind too much, she'll understand I'm sure. Another beautiful day, and what did I do with it, went shopping in York retail outlet under cover !! Well I needed card and that is crutial so I had to go to the Papermill Shop. Typical me, we get max 5 sunny days in the whole of the summer and I spent one of them indoors. Anyway hope you like the card.

Wow - Sun at last.

Wow, what a beautiful day we had today, about time too! Infact it was so hot I had to resign from the gardening after an two strenuous hours and lie down in the sun, such a shame eh? About time I got a chance to get a slight tan. My mate Debbie called me a 'lazy daisy', but I hate being so pale, so it was very necessary.... well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it !!!

I managed to create this card this evening, surprising though as I just can't stop surfing these blogs it really is distracting and addictive, what have I got myself in to !!! So this is my latest creation, it is for a lady at work whose daughter is passionate about horses. What a lovely topic to be asked to do. Hope you all had a good day in the sun.

I got the WYLDE WOMEN award !

My wonderful mate Debs thought I deserved this award how nice of her. It's called the WYLDE WOMEN award and the purpose of it is "to send love and acknowledgment to women who brighten your day, teach you new things and live their lives fully with generosity and joy", which is a lovely sentiment.

The rules are:

1. You can give it to one or one hundred or any number in between - it's up to you.

2.Make sure you link to their site in your post.

3. Link back to this blogsite (tammy's blog) so Tammy can go visit all these wonderful women,and

4. Remember the Purpose of the Award.

So who to send it to, I am struggling as a lot of my new blogland pals have it already but here are some who I have hand picked.

Anniversary card

YEAH - INK ARRIVED !!! Here's a card I made late last night, I did my usual trick and left the order 'till the last minute. Will I ever learn? - I don't think so !! Not had much time over the last few days to post anything, will catch up with everyone and everything this weekend.

Hey, music on my blog

Well I managed it at last, I have spent all evening choosing my favourite songs for my playlist, I wasn't going to have many - ha ha ha, once you start you can't stop. There are a few in there dedicated to my wonderful late hubby, two that we played at his funeral and a few that remind me of the great times we had together in the good old 80's. I have also added one for my bezzy mate Diane, I've tried to persuade her to have a blog but she says she is too busy. Nevermind If you click on her name it will link you to her fabulous DC gallery page instead. I think you will agree she has some fantastic cards in there. We are getting together on the 4th of August so she can teach me her fab painting techniques cos I am rubbish at it !
bye for now... oh still waiting for ink by the way....

A Big Thank you

Hi there, can I say a big thankyou to all you kind people who have welcomed me to blogland. I have spent the evening putting some of my creations onto a slide show, wow isn't it a maze of complications this blogging thing. I suppose I will get the hang of it eventually. First of all I manged to get a slide show, then when it appeared it wasn't where I wanted it to be. Have now managed to put one in the right place and now I have TWO.... wow this is fun !!!
Will play more tomorrow.

Starting Off

I have been talked into setting up my own blog by my friend Debs. I must say I am feeling a bit of an air head trying to navigate myself around the instructions. I'm getting there, slowly (very slowly) but surely. Today I have been trying my best to make cards but things are not going my way at all. My printer has run out of ink, this is tragic. Being a total airhead I didn't think to have any ink on standby so I am going to be 'out of order' till it is delivered. This to some crafters who make cards would not be a problem but I make cards for friends at work and they like them personallised so without my printer I am well and truely stuck !! I have had a house full all morning, daugher & boyfriend, son & girlfriend and son's friend but now they have all dispersed and life in my craft room is peaceful again. when I have figured this blogging thing out I will add more to it. Bye for now Tracey
