Snowman joke..

I saw a video on Facebook today that made me chuckle. I would love to share it with you, but couldn't find a way, so I'll attempt to describe it. You'll have to use your imagination, but it will be worth it, I promise! OK...

A snowman is standing on another snowman's shoulders so he can peer in through the window of a house where a family inside are at the table for their Christmas dinner, passing around the vegetables and beginning their meal. The snowman sees they are tucking into the carrots... "Oh my GOD!" he screams to his mate below. "They're eating NOSES!!"

Haha!! Good, right? (snicker)

So.. no pictures today. No new cards to show. Busy still getting my blog back to being fully serviceable. Have started working through my VERY long blogroll, checking that links are still current and that there is pretty (mainly) crafting content still visible. I've decided to tackle it by working through the alphabetised list in blocks of five letters at a time. I've done A to E today. Hey, it's a start..

Did you miss me?

Hello, you lot! Not sure if anyone will be left following my blog, as there hasn't been anything to follow for so many years! I'm not going to apologise, as you've heard all the excuses before.

For the time being, I have more time on my hands, as I am now kind of retired, for reasons I won't go into. It took me a while to remember my login details for this blog, but now I'm here, I have some tidying up to do, link-checking, etc, so bear with me. I'll be back properly soon.

Missed you.

Bloggedy-bloggedy...

Quick update..

Spent yesterday stamping.. and stamping... and stamping!! lol ;o) This was for my Stamping PIF for the three ladies who took me up on it. Their packages are all ready for me to post this afternoon... after some Christmas inspiration on QVC! :o)

Also made a bracelet for a mate's birthday. Forgot to photograph it before wrapping, though, so you've had that, I'm afraid.

Crafting Day...

Well, the weather was blowin' up a storm here in Peterborough today, and my darned rosebush just would NOT sit still for the camera... shaking its booty in the breeze. I just hope the blooms are still on the branches come sunshine day! We're due some heavy rain tomorrow, so maybe my inspiration will have to wait.

NOT SO FAST, though... I have still had a productive and satisfying crafting day, and made three 'Hint of Pink' wedding invitation designs, which I am very pleased with. I will post pics of them tomorrow.

In addition, have been making a card for a friend, but can't post that (yet), as she reads this blog!! Hehe! It took three different versions though, before I was satisfied. The first two attempts were absolute pants!! Dreadful!! Looked nothing like my mental picture. Never mind.. Got there in the end with something completely different, and I can save the components of the other two cards to use again on something else. In a few days, when my friend has received the card, I will post a pic of it on here.

So.. that's it for today. Going to chill out for a little while before bed. Goodnight, blogsters. :o)

For blog's sake...

Teehee!! Well, this IS for blog's sake... Just some chat for the sake of it! lol ;o)



I have been going through the Trimcraft forum's challenges, and the first (unofficial) one was 'A Hint of Pink'. "Right," I thought. "OK."

And I waited for inspiration, but Mojo didn't speak to me.

That was until I noticed how beautiful my rose bush is looking in the garden, and full of creamy-white blooms, with a hint of pink in the centre!! Bang!! Inspiration by the bucketload!! Just haven't had chance to take any pics yet... Either the bush was moving too much in the breeze, or the light wasn't good enough, and today it was raining!! Aaarrgghh!!!


Well, watch this space!! lol ;o)


Trimcraft... hmmmm. Not sure about the forum. Lots of lovely, lovely people, but you could spend all day on there, and I can't spend that much time. I don't like the navigation, either. It's a pain in the bum! There are other things I'm not keen on, as well, but - well - I can vote with my feet, I guess.


I think something is going to have to give, anyway, and I think it's the forums. Except, maybe, for the challenges. That's my favourite bit, and I'd like to start getting involved with some of the challenges I've found through blog-hopping.


OK.. I'm rambling now... Have a great weekend everyone, and I'll catch up with you at some point of it, I expect. :o)
