My first visit from baby Brianna today..!

Just a quick note to thank you all for your lovely messages about my beautiful new baby niece and my card. I've had a busy day, cleaning the house and doing a little DIY, I also had my first visit from baby Brianna today, I got plenty of wonderful cuddles from both my niece and my gorgeous little nephew. My sister really loved the card I made too. I am hoping for a quiet day tomorrow when I can do lots of blog hopping and cardmaking, looking forward to catching up on all your blogs. Here is a card I made on Friday for a lady who is having a knee operation. This cute image I have used is from the Pink Petticoat range. Hope it makes the lady in question feel so much better.

A new niece for me...Yipee....!

Hello there,

I have had a very busy week but the highlight was definately on Wednesday morning when my sister gave birth to her second child, a beautiful little girl who is absolutely adoreable, as all babies are. My little nephew, age 2, came to stay while she was in the hospital and he is such wonderful company. He seemed very excited about her arrival. When we took him to the hospital to see his new little sister he just kept saying "that baby was in mummy's tummy" I thought it was so cute. She weighed 7lb 11oz and has been given a beautiful name, Brianna. I set too and made this card.

Here is a photo of her taken when she was just 7 hours old, as you can see she is totally scrummy.

I'm back...!!!!

Hello,

Yes, I am still alive, I'm sure you were all wondering there for a bit. I just haven't felt up to posting anything on my blog for quite a while, kinda lost it there for a few months. Last weekend I went down to visit Debs she and her friend Sarah were having a very belated 40th birthday bash. Debs kindly invited me so I thought I'd bite the bullet and go. Not so easy to go about on my own now, but I have to get used to it. 25 years of being joined at the hip to a certain special someone is kinda hard to be without. Anyway I took her some choccies which I think by the massive smile on her face were very much appreciated. (can't go far wrong with chocs now can we girls). I also made a couple of cards which she's posted on her blog, so I'll not bother posting them here. I'm please she likes them.

I went to the Hobbycrafts fair at the NEC last month with my friend Diane and my mum, we had a brilliant day out and I bought tons of goodies. I got my first Nestibilities, a fab Joanna Sheen Messy Bunny stamp (which I love), some Smirk stamps and matching papers (which I also love), a sizzix Easy Peasy font strip and tons of other great stuff. Spent a small fortune it has to be said. Here are a few cards I made with my goodies.

Here are the Smirk ones, I just love the pack of papers I bought in the same range. they are so sweet.

And how cute is this bunny? I just love him to bits. the font is the Easy Peasy decorative strip from Sizzix. Gorgeous isn't it? I put a little gem on his nose to make it stand out. I need to practise my painting skills on him though...!

Hope to be back soon with more creations.
