WOYWW!? #823-Happy 16th Anniversary! UP DATE

   Happy WOYWW!? #832 and Happy 16th Anniversay! Yes, I have made some ATCs, but as I've been looking after cats and dogs again they're not finished yet!..I also have some ATC's from other years too...(If I can remember where they are!) So, if you want to swap, or not, just let me know....dragonsmoore at googlemail dot com. I sat in the sun room yesterday, where I was dog sitting again, and made a start...the dogs were snoooozzing so they didn't mind as long as everytime they wanted to go out and chase about, we did. (The doors were open but they still like me to go out with them) They have an enormus garden, plus woods, and fields beyond, so there's lots to sniff!

I got home too late to do any thing more to the ATC's and then, gone midnight, decided I really wasn't sure I liked them!

 Anyway, five o'clock this morning, I spread what I'd made so far out onto my  wonky butcher's Bar in my kitchen and took these pictures of what I took with me and all the bits and scraps I had, so I should be able to finish some ATC's today!  Then I started playing with those cats scraps...Mmmm....not sure yet! Below is a picture of Bronte, just before the grass was cut! Love the smell of cut grass!

And Remi having a rest indoors.

 That's it for now...unless I take pictures of the finished ACT's! 

Flowers in waiting

  I have the living room wall to finish painting and flowers to add to my hanging baskets and tubs today...

 I just have to add this Rhododendron, bought from Tescos a few months ago for £7.00 and now, three pots larger...in bloom. Fabulous!

That's really it now! Pop over to Sarahs Craft Shed and join in! You'll be glad you did! Thank you for stopping by!

 UP DATE  

 Here's a picture of all the ATC's (I didn't do the 'map' ones) at least 9 of these have gone off already. I made 12 and then added four more...so I can still make more. They all have numbers, and names...ie 'play', 'create' or just click and save if you don't want to post...BFN!

Time for TEA on Tuesday...

There's been no blogging from me once again....trouble with life, it does get in the way sometimes...most of the time ...all of the time, then there isn't any time left! I have been busy though. This morning was up with the crack of dawn, filling my garden bin, before it was collected... triming bushes, and hedges (you can just see my little hedge cutter at the top of the picture) chopping down others, (my saw's are getting very blunt as the 'thing' that John used to sharpen them seems to be missing)  

Turmeric and Ginger Tea

...then mowing and by nine o'clock a.m. I decided to have some elevenses and fell asleep! Dah! Still trying to get my little home back into some order. There's still painting to do...and there's still a heap of junk to go down the tip, scattered in my driveway, but on a good note, it is getting smaller. Being Tuesday and very hot outside, (washing on the new line, the old one kept breaking) I decided to join in with T For Tuesday, (Alterted Book lover) seeing I did have a few drink related pictures left over from the weeks I'd missed! 

 

A mostly vegan Bar-B -Q with daughter Emma and family...sorry the rest of the picture has been cut out, as they were all making faces and being very rude!

Think I may've already shown you this picture! It's a good hours drive for me to get back home from Emma's, so....it was definitely Baileys Time! The Sizzix die cuts in the back ground were a bargain of the week, from the crafty charity shop near me.

And back to my Breakfast, this very dark free range egg, from my neighbour, was the darkest brown egg, I'd ever seen! Laid by one of her black hens! Very runny! That's it from me! Hoping to join in with WOYWW!? tomorrow too! Bye for now! Thank you for stopping by! Stay cool!

Happy WOYWW!? Last weeks and this weeks.....#829 and #830

 Hello WOYWERS hope you are all well and fighting fit! (well, fit will do...we don't want any fighting!) No, I haven't been about... but house sitting dogs is now over, for now, and I am home, phew! Above and below was last weeks desk...in the sunroom, where I was staying.

 But it got a bit hot in there, I did have the doors open, but the dogs kept charging off after the squirrels, so I moved into the kitchen and added a bit more...and on this weeks worktop...

I went (again) to the Crafty Charity Shop that opened a new bigger premises a few weeks ago. (hundreds were tryin to get through the doors then!) Anyway, not too many people this time, so a chance to browse, and I got, two new 12x12 scrap book paper packs, white with  60 sheets, 260gsm  and the black with 50, 200gsm, which will fit nicely into those lovely scrapbooks I grabbed last time! Then some, never been used HunkyDory goodies, two or three die cuts, Sheena diecuts with stamps, Moonstone die cuts...(I looked them up....you have to buy the stamps separately...) more stamps and that alphabet diecut box by Sizzix (an oldie, but probably never been used) So, no real craftyness done...just a bit of playing! A real bargain of the week me thinks! Well, that's it for now!! Pop over to Sarahs Craft Shed and join in!!  Thank you for stopping by!

It's a Wednesday Freebie! At last!

 

Here's a FREEBIE! Mushroom Hotel. I'm home now but still up to my eyeballs in mess! I think I need to go and stay in a motel for a while, and let the fairies tidy up! (Not happening) I spent the whole day yesterday moving the builders rubbish over to one side, as my tarpaulin cover had got trapped and ripped and...I think gnawed through, by some creature that had become stuck under it all. There's a cat doorway in the fence, used by anything small enough (frogs hedgehogs, small dogs!)  to use as a short cut, through my garden and the next and into the road behind me. I also had flower pots, compus bags and grit buried under it too. (the flowers were a bit bent but were still trying to grow) The builders are coming back tomorrow to 'finish off'  Yay! So enough waffle, go here to down load! Thank you for stopping by!

House dOg Sitting WOYWW #828 And A Tea For TUesday!

 Hello! Morning, afternoon! Sorry I haven't been around! Not enough hours in the day!! Happy WOYWW!? As for the coming up ATCs swap for the Anniversary, I'm definitely joining in with that!! I'm house/dog sitting for at least another week and a bit. So>>>not a lot of Crafty stuff done...although I have been stamping with a new stamp and die bug set by AALL &CREATE< which arrived in the week with other crafty stuff...and made a 'no cutting' box, hmmm yes...I nipped home on Monday and took dogs with me, to fill my garden waste bin...only to find out later, that I hadn't paid for this year...so they didn't take it....how mean!? It's still April after all....never mind, it's all  'bin' sorted out now. 

I really like the stamp and die set. The bugs are quite big. The only thing is, when you die cut them, the Fig number is a little too close, so on some of them and bits get cut off.... 

 
I'm joining in with Altered Book Lover's T For Tuesday with my cup of Ginger and Turmeric Oraganic Infusion...quite tasty. I've actually saved some of this tea in a jar...was going to show you that last week, and some T dying, but with the Kitchen still an on going and the dogs I ran out of time...

Lola in the sunroom in the pram

WELL, it's very hot in the sun room...so it's time to go do something else. And seeing I'm dog sitting, I'm taking them all (Lola's here too) back to mine, to do my other bins, ready for tomorrows rubbish collection. It's all go here!...Thank you for stopping by. 

It's A Wednesday Freebie! CLOSED

 I just made it in time for a Wednesday freebie! I'm sorry it's an oldie, from waaaay back but it is a little different. More hills and grass! I've been soooo busy today I almost caught myself coming back the other way!  GO HERE to get him! Good news though! That £100 fine I got for parking in the pubs car park, on my birthday treat lunch...I don't have to pay it!! Yay! Thank you for stopping by!

It's WOYWW!? #826

 

Happy WOYWW!? I have something on my next this week...I've been shopping.....The little Crafty Charity Shop that closed ages ago, is back, bigger and better than ever!!! The grand opening was today, and it was packed!!!  

I spied this media book for a £1; I'm sure it must be new, no painty finger prints!

   

My favourite thing was this scrapbook for £2.
 

If you open it up, there's folded bits that when unwrapped, you can take out the chicago screws to add your 12x12 papers on either side. I have some longer shank Chicago Screws so, hopely will be able to add loads of papers...

 

 I also nabbed some dies..£1.50 and £3....In the top right hand corner you can see the Chicago Screws I'd taken out of the scrap book.

Then two brand new Stamping up inks jumped into my basket for £1.50...After that I visited Big George, a lovely dog I used to look after. Then, I nipped over to Christchurch to see if I could be let off that £100 parking fine, for parking in the pubs car park...and yes! Seeing I could prove I was there having a meal and not just parking  and scooting off some where else. After that I nipped into The Works and bought some document wallets (5 for a £1) and  a set of pattern rollers, £3. They should be fun to play with. 

 Well, that's my day done...the workmen say they have finished the kitchen...but they've left an awfull amount of rubbish in the drive... they still have to add a drawer front that was missing...and then...that should be it! I'll have a grand opening! That's it from me, don't forget the Wednesday Freebie is coming up next, in the meantime, pop over to SarahsCraftShed and join in! Thank you for stopping by.
