A wee bag of treats xxx

Afternoon my lovely bloggers, where has the lovely sun gone??
Firstly I just wanna thank every single one of you that commented on my last post! You made me feel so good about my wee Drawer thingy!! Made my wee day you all did and made me smile hee! Thanks so so muchly!!

Hope your all good today and having some "you" time?? I am, just relaxing doing some wee blog visits and generally doing nothing! The morning was filled with cleaning so I think I'm allowed!!

Yesterday I had a lovely wee day with my Mummy! What a laugh it was!!! My sides are still hurting with all the laughter!! We had some retail therapy followed my a lovely tapas, mmmm was so tasty!! Then a wee drink, will I had orange juice, and laughed and spoke the night away!! Was great just having a wee girly day!

So on to my wee creation, the lovely Liz asked me to make a wee jewellery gift for a little girl and this is what I came up with!! I used a wee bag kit for the gift bag, slightly cheating but still handmade hee!




Fingers crossed she likes them and the little girl will too! What do you think? Are they okay for 11 year olds?? I took some more of my wee creations to my Mum and she took them all hee, even changed her jewellery she had on so she could put them on hee!!
Thanks for stopping by

First Drawer Card Thingy xxx

Evening everyone, hope your all good?

First I've gotta say sorry for not being on as much as I should, things have been a bit hectic here and then I was having a weekend just me and my hubby! We got ourselves new laptops, well wee netbooks! Mine is so cute all red and shiny, my wee Sidster hee! Then did the boring Costco(just missing Susie and family) shop to get the loo roll, washing powder and dog food but did treat myself to the big scrap kit they have oh and the 300 12x12 double sided sheets pack hee!

So the lovely Dawn asked me to make her friend some jewellery with a wee card to match and that gave me a wee excuse to make one of those drawer cards I keep seeing!

Ingredients:
cardstock - Papermill
flowers - Wild Orchid crafts
Stamp - Funky kits
Tools :
nesties

Fimo jewellery



A wee look at the card a drawer open

What do you think? Please be really honest!!

It was bit difficult getting the card drawer to pull out, thought the firsrt time I was gonna rip it but once I got some extra card to support the inside it was better!

Thanks for stopping by and all comments are so appreciated!

Craft Fayre xxx

***Beware this post could be long!***

Hi everyone

So everything is almost back to normal, nearly! I guess I'm only so so in the normal sense hee! Not as tired as i was yesterday although voice was almost gone last night seems fine today! The craft fayre went brilliantly only came home with 2 boxes from 30 and some cards and loads of orders hee!

Here is some of the pictures of my wee stand below

Hubby made all my fab display units, including the card stand! Wanted it to look like a picture frame and hubby is so clever hee! I made the wee jewellery "tree" all by myself with hubby's help. He cut the block and I stock it all together. Believe it or not the covers on my table are duvet sheets hee!


Here's some of the boxes close up. and below my wee stand on the corner like a wee step!



The baby boxes were the 1st to the go! Then all the Wedding ones but with it being "Wedding" and "Baby" season its not surprising!! hee

This is my wee "Temping Tree"
OK, so the name came from Big Brother but I think it suited it really well! Everyone loved the sweetie jewels especially the kids!!


And just a wee close up of some of the bits! the strawberries and cupcakes were the most popular! But my fave well apart from the strawberries was the chocolate cake, yum yum hee!
So hopefully I'll get time to get the craft room back to normal,foam back snow every where hee! catch up on here and relax! Never been so exhausted in one week sense like last year hee!
Oh I did end up buying some lovely goodies myself! I got some of the best smelling candles ever and some knitted peas in a pod for only 60p! The best bargain ever, peas for 60p hee!
Okay so gotta catch up with the ironing and maybe mite even change the curtains in the living room ........... well we'll see hee! Take care everyone

Sarah Hurley's Challnge 1 xxx


Hi everyone, its the first challenge over on the Sarah Hurley Challenge Blog and we have a colour theme to follow this week! As I don't have her fab disks yet i went with trying to match the colours for a wee scrap layout!


OK, so its not quite matching but it was rather hard for me! I had none of the colours to match so went for as close as I could!
I used my tealish blue 12x12 card with some K&Co papers to bring more of the blue tone out and added the wee pics of me and hubby having a yummy ice cream at Anstruther in March this year! The sky was gorjuss walking around, but the fish and chips were better hee!

Hope you can join us this week for our 1st challenge and win a special "Sarah Hurley" prize!! And don't worry you don't need to have her Cd's to entry although she would love that, just follow the colour challenge!!
I'll be back with my fayre picture soon!
Hugs
