Picture From Seattle!

Emma and Tom have arrived over in Seattle, visiting Maria and Mason (daughter and grandson who live there!) and have just sent me this picture.
Me, John and Emma have one of these pictures too, (from when we went over for Maria's Wedding. The background is a big photograph...not the real view...basically because you are actually on the ground floor of the Seattle Space Needle, so of course, if you are inside it you wouldn't be able to see it outside! as well. Can't wait to see some pic's of grandson Mason... Hurry up and send me some Emma!!!
Now, just to warn you, (if you email me about anything...) I'm not here over the weekend, so behave, and I'll answer any queries on Monday!! (But will have laptop with me just in case there's an Internet connection where we are going!) I did make a birthday card for Mason ages ago for Tom and Emma to take over with them.... which you've already seen, but couldn't find it!! (see WOYWW post to see why!!) so I've made another one that I'll post at the end of the month. In case you missedthis card last time, here's the links to the free paper and free font...

Hi peoples! yay, didn't think I'd be doing a WOYWW this week...on new pills and they are 'stronger' (according to the doctor who looked about 12) but taking longer to work....sooo very quick post, as, one, I can't sit, stand, walk, run, sleep.... and two, I haven't really been doing a whole lot of crafting this week, and not much last week either, just doing a few digi's for you and a couple of cards you can't see yet!!

And... It's behind you.... forget the pile of paper growing in a darken corner... it's growing everywhere!!Yep... there's one of my boxes...(waiting for the paper) and yes... those are hair straighteners.... used for.... straightening hair...

Sorry, I didn't get round too many of you last week because of this, 'thing' I have....Catch you all later...hopefully...when the pills work! In the meantime...I'll just rattle off somewhere! (damn it, I looked everywhere for those flipping hair straighteners yesterday! I can usually find things when I look at my woyww pictures!)

Arf Arf!!

We've been dog sitting over the weekend, so just so's you know that I haven't been abducted by aliens or anything hairy or purple, I thought I'd add a couple of pictures of the little beasties! Well, one big beastie and a smaller one. I did ask them to 'smile' for the camera, but they were more interested in watching a model boat whizzing round the pond behind them.

Has anyone else noticed over the last week or so, when you click on the pictures to enlarge them they go into this slider thing? I'm quite sure I haven't clicked on any buttons to make it happen, but then again...who knows! Oh, and that's John's Foot by the way. Happy Crafting!

Happy Birthday Maria!

It's my youngest daughter's 30th birthday today. It doesn't seem that long ago she was hitting me over the head with her potty at five in the morning! Luckily she hadn't done anything in it, she just couldn't get her babygrow off! Wouldn't wear a nightie, loved her babygrows.... with the feet cut out! Happy Birthday Maria! Love you! Big Hugs! Her big sister Emma, (and Tom) are going over to America next week to spend time with her and her husband Jesse and our grandson, Mason, who will be two at the end of the month. Wish we were going, but alas I'm too big to fit into one of their suitcases.

Today my hunt for a Mariposa paper stack came to an end when I found one at the Range, (thanks to Di for putting that thought of HobbyCraft in my head!) and it jumped into my basket without me noticing...(after asking hubby if he minded living on beans on toast for the next month!) So, not only did I use a sheet of that lovely glitter and foil paper for this card, I'm making a start at covering my two boxes with it as well. (Watch this space!)
Our main trip out was really to visit Toys R Us, to buy a pressie for Grandson Mason, so Emma can take it with her next week. Now... Toys R us, Big American company, yes? No! How come we can't buy something here, (On line or in the shop) which allows our daughter to pop into the Toys R Us over there, and pick it up? They don't do that. How come they have INTERNATIONAL GIFT CARDS that when you ask, "If we buy one of those and send it to our daughter in America, will she be able to use it in the Toys R Us store near her?" after a long wait over a garbled intercom, the answer came back.... NO! So, just thought I'd warn anyone who thought they could do that.
So? Moan over...what did I use? The Mariposa stack paper, already mentioned. On the inside I've used some of My Mind's Eye, from a huge stack I brought back from America when Mason was born, the Tim Holtz Bird cage die, some peel-offs and a little eye-lash wool. There is quite a bit of glitter and foil already on the card, but it doesn't really show up here. The font I've used on the inside is a freebie, it's called A Yummy Apology and you can download it here
New Followers! It keeps going up ad down, but as I type it's now 603! My goodness, thank you all for following, it wasn't that long ago, I was doing a little jig when there was three! (and one of them was me!)

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday

It's Wednesday again... (well, it was when I typed this) and as I've said many times... Wednesday's come around far more times than any other day of the week! Here's what's on my desk this Wednesday... Not very exciting. Some clear stamps that I've just started to cut out ready to add a bit of Kling-on (nothing to do with StarTrek..) it's that sticky rubbery stuff you put on your non-wooden backed stamps. Bit fiddly but has to be done other wise you can't really use them...well you can..but..no, not really, anyway. Here's a YouTube Video on how to do it right. See, told you... very boring worktop this week. So, if yours is better, more exciting, or even more boring than my desk, take a picture, pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground... and join in and we're come round and have a nose.

Watch out for 600 followers freebie coming up soon and this Wednesday's freebie...Thanks for stopping by!
