Stickers

Prompt 6 on Shimelle's Class is to use stickers as many as you can. Well my response to this one is that I probably have enough stickers to open a couple of craft shops all on there own lol. I loved this prompt and below is my page of Susie dog, is she not lovable? Anyway I have used Urban Window collection - Boho chic fancy free, Karen Foster Design stickers and many more stickers, in fact I used 12 stickers in all. I am so looking forward to tomorrow's prompt.

To sew or not to sew

That is the question. Only joking I am not going to recite a play or anything don't worry. What it is, I got a major present for Christmas last year my hearts desire a sewing machine. It is gorgeous, I love it. My wonderful fantastic crafty friend Clair gave me a tutorial. Thanks Clair pop over to her blog Obstinate Pursuit as she is planning on doing some fantastic tutorials on all sorts very shortly. The only thing is I have not used it yet as I have not been able to, much to my regret. So my wonderful Giz brought it into our bedroom and put it on our dressing table tonight and I am sitting looking at it. So the reason I am thinking to sew or not to sew is because Something from Nothing has asked us to think about reinventing page protectors. You know those plastic sea through cases that we all use to protect our master pieces of work. So with this in mind, my mind is swimming with what I am going to do, so watch this space.

By Chance

We found this place buy chance last year, and just loved it. Whilst driving around I saw a sign for a Country Park, and I said lets just go and see. I am so glad we did and we will definitely be going back there. There was so many different animals all roaming around and free. I have used a metal frame that I forgot I had and I love the look it just sets of the page correctly. I thought I would use this one for the Friday challenge as we were asked to use metal, cardstock, patterned paper and ribbon on the same project???

Oodles of Eyelets and brads

I thought these colours just cried out for brads, my nephew was so excited and it shows.

I love this picture of my niece as she look so Angelic just like her !

Just look at the this cheeky little chap. This is the view from the kitchen window, and I swear he new I was there and watching him.

Prompt one of Something from Nothing is to use eyelets, Brads, and metal words. I have so many of these, I did have them all in colour order and very regimental, that was until this class and then I realised that I was not using them as much as I should so I took a leaf out of Shimmelle's book and put them all together in jars, one for brads and one for eyelets. Doing this I must admit I think I will use them more using them in this way.

New Class

Ok, I know I can not be the only one, lets be honest. How many of you out their have crafting supplies for England. I know I do. Are you like me just buy that lovely piece of paper or that specific coloured ribbon just because you like it and you have to have it, as it will come in useful eventually. So I have to say thank you Shimmelle just what I need an excuse to use as much of my supplies so I can of course buy more. Only joking ! or am I ?

September 2nd

Today is day 2 for the Shimelle's class, Learn Something New Every Day and day 2 of our trip to our caravan in Wales. We have been up all night as usual with the rain and the wind. In the morning on inspection of outside, our awning was still standing but five others were destroyed. They were not the lucky ones but thank God we were. Mother nature can definately be fearce.

September 1st

Today is my first page for the Shimelle's class Learn Something New Every Day . We had been up all night with the rain and the wind, but by the time we took Susie our pet King Charles for a walk it had calmed down a lot and it was lovely to blow the cobwebs away. So it only goes to show it is true what they say, you can have fun even even when things make it difficult.

14th September

This afternoon I went back to my old work after a long time away, to cover some annual holiday leave. I was anxious as it was, everthing was going so well, until I got myself a cup of coffee. I put it on the desk and then answered the phone, and you can guess what happened next. You got it, the coffee cup topled over and it whent all over the paper diary, the desk, all the paperwork and the books. So for my learning for today for Shimelle's class Learn Something New Every Day. A coffee does go further than you think.

13th September

Do you like glitz and glamour and crazy nights out, or do you prefer a cosy night in, a drink of hot chocolate and an early bed. The answer for me is I like both but I have to remind myself that I need both in moderation. Due to having a night to myself as Gary was away for the night and on having such a a hectic couple of weeks with my Birthday. All I wanted to do was stay in and do a bit of quiet crafting and go to bed to watch a nice romantic film. I chose Titanic nothing nicer than clean sheets after a bath and let's not forgetLeonardo Di Caprio so for my page for Shimelle's class Learn Something New Every Day What more can a girl ask for? I decided overall, that I love the hectic life but I am just as happy with the simple things life has to offer.
