Enjoying my crafty time....

Our home is being updated, two rooms downstairs, painting in most areas, 1 big bedroom makeover and I am trying to keep on top of all the work, but things keep distracting me like pretty paper, ribbons and flowers... LOL...

I bought Kirsty Wisemans Christmas CD of images and made the cards below with the papers from the CD and my new Spellbinders snowflake die... My mother is not keen on the card as it's not the traditional Christmas colours - but I like it.

Another version of the card with the little present that you can print off the CD. Lovely!

I have to admit that I scrap lifted this LO, I saw a lovely LO from a Garden Girl on 2peas, and did this LO below, my version of it and I love it. There is a little note to Lea enclosed in the little envelope for her to read when she gets older. Papers are old from my stash but form memory are Dream Street.

Shannon was 6 recently, and as her Birthday falls on the 1st day back at School, we held off and had the party on Saturday the 18th. I blogged the invites and then gave the cupcakes that I made (all 50 of them!) with the Toy Story toppers that I made with little Thank you notes on the back. Shannon was not impressed as she was cross that I used all her Toy Story stickers but I was very happy with the result. Not a fun day for us grown up's on the day of the party - as it rained and rained and we had to amuse 28 5-6 yr olds and the bouncy castle was a waste of money....

Had my camera out again this weekend and we took a walk down to the new market at The old Point Depot. There is a fab looking wheel, and as there was a break in the weather I took the image below. Have some lovely spider photos if anyone is interestsed.... they are driving me mad there are everywhere at the moment.

Had a root canal done yesterday - feel OK not great but just coping with the pain and discomfort, and have to go back next week for the next part of it... OH NO!!!
