Baking day ...

I baked a cake today for our craft group tomorrow,
sorry girls but you won't be eating it,
I've put it in the bin :(

Recipe looked good, no eggs, a bonus for me as I can't
eat them.Anyway I burned it LOL Better luck next time eh,
think I'll stick with the lemon drizzle cake in future.

Made some more books today, but will try to upload
pics tomorrow.

Happy crafting xx

Can you tell what it was yet ?

No ?  ......... Well I'll tell you then.It used to be a teabag box :))

I love making little books, so when I was filling up the t-bag caddy, as you do, I thought 'I like the feel of this cardboard' and got to work on it straightaway. It's amazing what you can do with stuff you
 would probably throw away.
I covered it with basic grey papers and used a few of my new CS stamps, cos I know someone who can't wait to see them :))
Don't know if they show up too well tho.

24yrs ago...................

today I became Mrs C.
Happy anniversary Mr C, love you lots you lovely man xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well it's been quite a sad afternoon.Son and I attended the funeral of his 'best' teacher, who sadly past away two weeks ago at the young age of 45yrs.
Overwhelming it was too, all the youngsters from the school were there, very brave all of them.Mr C was a very appreciated man, loved and admired by so many.Some beautiful memoriums were read out by his close friends and family.Son was determined to say his last goodbyes and went to pay his respects at the coffin, I was proud of him for doing that.

Anyway I have sat and cut out for a while to take my mind off things - so here is Februarys giveaway, containing pkt k& co tags,pkt k&co sayings,pkt of 1inch squares,pkt of flower embellishments,2 x pkts of ATC size card (approx 15 in each).Leave me a comment to put your name in the hat :) I will be drawing the winner out at the end of the month.

Morning..

from a dull Cheshire.Not the lovely sunny weather we've been having but at least it's not raining yet.
Do you find when making certain things that you become ..... er .... little obsessed.I know I do, well I've had a go at making boxes from a scrapbook magazine, made a black & white one a few days ago, couldn't resist doing some more so here they are ... along with more little books of 2 little cuties :)
and then of course I made an ATC book, more addiction :) 2 more made.It's amazing what you find when clearing out, the second atc book is made from pics in a
 magazine that a rellie in Michigan sent me a few years ago, along with some delicious fruity bits.
The one with the birds on, I did make a few weeks ago & just added some words and bits.I'm really pleased with the way  they turned out.

Hello ....

from a sunny Cheshire.

Well I was busy at the CB crop on Saturday.I managed to finish granddaughters mini book, and made a start on grandsons, which I managed to finish over the weekend.Made an ATC book which will be going to a very generous lady as a 'thank you'.
Happy crafting :)

Achey day......

today, so no sitting and crafting, can't really sit or stand for too long anyway :(
So I'm adding some things I have made over the weekend -

Top picture is someones valentines card :)  The box is for the same person, it's a paperfolding box, the idea was in a scrapbook magazine, not colour co-ordinated with the card but hey oh thats me :)
The last pic is of the civil ceremony card requested by my sil, for friends of hers.I think it turned out a lot better than I expected.Hope they like it.

Happy Monday -

or maybe not.Youngest is away for the week, I will miss him, but I'm sure he won't miss us :)
Naughty Puss, thought he would just have a nap on our bed, did he, well yes he did, I'm
a bigsoftie when it comes to the Puss :))

BG card challenge I did for last week, sorry it's late.The challenge was to use colours you don't normally use and I don't
 normally use soft colours.
I left the sentiment off, as I have'nt decided who to send it to yet.
