Blog candy

Crafty Makes: Blog Candy Kim at Crafty Makes has been announced Papercrafter of the year at Papercrafts Essentials. Now I'm a new fan of Kims but from what I've seen this gal is well deserving of her award! Go and have a look - she's got candy for you too! I'm sure you'll find some inspiration as well

Max's Blog candy

Max is celebrating her 2000th visitor to her blog with blog candy. You can see it here.

More photos from our visit to the Botanic Gardens. This is the peace bell - it is beautiful, and makes the most amazing sound.

Day 3 0f self imposed challenge

Today I made a gorgeous charm necklace from a kit I bought. It was my first attempt at jewellery making and a bit fiddly but I am really happy with it. Will post a picture as soon as I find my camera cable.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the fabulous Susie at Whiteribboncards is celebrating 10000 hits on her blog (Wow that is amazing - congrats Susie) with some blog candy. Go and visit her gorgeous blog.

I'm back

My laptop has been in for repair - I didn't realise how dependent I was on the internet until I had to do without it for a week. My blog has suffered and I can't even say I've been very creative in the downtime as no internet seemed to coincide with a temporary decline in mojo! Strange!

I was very lucky to receive some interesting mail in the last week though. First surprise to arrive in the mail was this lovely ATC from Silvercustard on the Crafts Beautiful forum.

Then I received this beautiful card from the CB forum card swap along with the lovely RAK - papers, card blanks etc . These are from Glitzzy

Next was this 6x6 page from FairyPrincess along with the ATC. The page is for a swap at CB again. Really gorgeous.

My pages (which were my first ever scrapbook pages) went to Scrappysteph and Fairyprincess.

Thank you Jules

When I got home from work tonight this was waiting on the doorstep....

















I quickly ripped it open - it was the blog candy I won from Jules at Creative Makes

I'm looking forward to using some of it at the weekend! Thank you Jules

Hello autumn

I've been a bad blogger of late - must try harder. It has been a good week though. The lovely Jules at Creative Makes HERE gave me a You Make My Day Award, and then I won some lovely blog candy from her as well - wow oh wow I never win anything.

Then on Saturday I got a lovely new Casio camera - it is gorgeous can't wait to get using it.

It is now the 3rd March so officially autumn has arrived - unfortunately autumnal weather has arrived as well. Since it was so cold and wet yesterday I made a few cards to have in reserve. Here they are -

I've also finished and posted my bookmark for the CB forum Here swap as well as the ATCs I made for another swap at CB. Will post photos when they have been received by recipients - don't want to spoil the surprise.

Thought for the day: Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. ~Charles Richards
