Fat Pages

We had a Fat Page Swap over on the CardMaking and PaperCraft forum the other week. It could be anything about, songs, poems or nursery rhymes. I did nursery rhymes and it wasn't until I uploaded the pictures onto the creationsbyjj.com forum that I noticed a wee smelling mistook. Ooops! So....the 'naughty ones', won't be enlarged here, just the' good' ones! I couldn't find anything I liked for Nursery Rhymes, so I ended up drawing my own...hence the spelling mistake. So, apologies to those who received Humpty Dumpty... (Okay Clever Cloggs~you've worked it out!) It was worse, honest...I corrected it, but missed the bottom line...
Have you noticed? ( A quick change of subject there) I've gone a little widget crazy...The clock's to remind me how long I've been here and that it's time for bed!!! The moon I've had in my 'favourites for a few years, it helps me with my 'never ending story' which is basically about time travel and saving the world and knowing whether the moon was waxing in 1995 and in 2027 is a great help...And the little flags??? Aren't they great! I'm amazed at how many countries from all over the World, log in to Spyder's Corner, if only by accident! (And let's face it, it probably is only by accident!) They probably think they're going to see pictures of giant spiders, so just for you, Trevor from Potter's Bar, here's some Giant Goliath Birdeating Spiders!! (It's alright Charlotte, it's just a Newsreel, not too scary!)
Widgets! Aren't they great,Who'd know that coutries from all over the World visit my blog, if I didn't have a widget! America, Spain, Switzerland, Singapore, The Canary Islands, Germany, France, New Zealand, Australia, Russia, and a few I can't spell. I Googled myself (Come on, admit it, you do it too!) I've knocked the Surfing bloke off the top spot, but sometimes, Spider's at Animal Corner get first billing...it all just fascinates me!
Before I go, I want to say a big "Hello" to those who are following without 'Pictures', as I'm sure I missed you! Esther, of course we know, Hi Esther, but now there's 'Designs From Within' by Charlotte (who hates spiders!) and lizblair, better known as just liz, big ((((wave))) and thank you both for following, please pop over and see their fantastic blogs! (I'd like to add, they now have pictures!!) Now....I'm off to bed...night night.

oh P.S. Happy May Day...pinch and a punch...

Another day another dollar (not)

Monday. Sometimes I think the days go by, and when they think we're not looking, they take a day off...five seconds ago I'm sure it was Friday. Anyway, nearly catching up with Birthdays and forum makes. Four ATC's, three Fat pages, two birthday cards.... (and a partridge in a pear tree) It's all go...
This is my first Fat Page...no I lie...it was supposed to be my first, it's my second! A lovely forum member sent me one of hers to show me what they looked like and this is what I'll be sending back. Thank you Rhea!

Had a letter fromThe Sun this morning. (groan)
Dear Sir/Madam (I must stop using John's shower Gell) I wish to inform you that The Sun will not be publishing Sun Fun Cartoons for the foreseeable future . I am in the process of returning all the cartoons we have received and you may get your cartoons returned in stages. The Sun would like to thank you for the time, effort and laughs you have given to us and all our readers over the years.
Please could you send me your address, telephone number and email so I can put this on file should we need your cartoons in the near future....Many Thanks...BlahBlah Blah.... oh poo...not that they've had any of my cartoons for ages and ages...(Well, they've had them,they've just not bought any!) Huh. Banks are going down, Woolworths has closed, and now The Sun doesn't want to make us laugh...Oh well...look on the bright side. More time to make cards!!!

Sun, Sparrow Hawks & Spiders

While John was out in the garden in the sunshine yesterday, attacking next door's monstrous bush, which was trying not only to grow over our shed but move in, I made a few more of the 'Fat Page with ATC ' for a forum swap. I wasn't sure what to do not having ever made a 'fat page' before, but had some nice 'hinges' and some blue ink blotted paper that I was dying to use. I still need to do a few more, but for some reason, my printer doesn't want to print the blotty paper, it only wants to save it. Strange! So I ended up scanning it first and then printing it out.

I hope it's been a lovely day where you are, it's been really sunny here, spring is really trying to take hold! Spotted three kestrel type birds were hovering over the back of our garden, probably spying on some mice in the fields or something bigger in the woods beyond all the houses. Yesterday morning one even swooped into our garden, did a swing around the bird table, a backward flip up through next doors apple tree and was gone in a brown blurr. Whether it grabbed a blue tit or a sparrow on it's way, I didn't see, it was that fast.

Today, after John had finished attacking next doors over ground shrub, another brown bird of prey, probably a Kestrel dived in from nowhere, but this time hit the fence and somersaulted backwards across the lawn, then, a little dazed and with the ease of a jump jet fighter plane, shot straight back into the sky, and was gone. Definitely not the kind of bird I thought would be visiting my bird table!
