Well its official my hubby is such a numpty!!!!

We decided to go to Wales on Saturday to go and see an absolutely gorgeous waterfall at .......sorry Nige not here and I can't remember .....

Well the weather was fab but windy....the girls myself and Charlie decided not to climb upto the front of the waterfall as it was quite steep and the rocks were covered in slimey moss, and Charlie ain't to good on things like that.....

Well I was stood talking to Danni and there was a splash...lol yes Nige had tried to cross the bottom of the waterfall and fell in...no sorry I didn't have a camera he had it, but Oh I did laugh and so did the girlies. Nige just went bright red lol....if you look at the pic of the waterfall right at the bottom where the rocks start on the left..that is where my hubby went for a paddle lololol feel free to laugh, because we did....lots

Here is a pic of his poorly leg which he scraped down one of the rocks...he is feeling sooooooooooo damn sorry for himself

I would love this stamp!!!!

Hi, I have finally started feeling better (weather still wet so not much) went out for a nice long walk on saturday, and paid for it on sunday.....My back drove me mad all day.

Well last night at my craft class we made this card and I love it...



The bodice and shoes are stamped and heat embossed with seafoam embossing powder, the skirt is the netting stuff you use for a wedding favour......the corners and sentiment are stamped in black and heat embossed with clear powder.....
The bodice stamp is gorgeous the bottom part (which I have cut off) looks like lots of beads hanging down....love it!!!



hope you like it

What a muppet!!!

I feel such a muppet, with all the rubbish thats happening at the moment, Nige is feeling really down and just isn't himself, so I saw this parchment pattern in last months Parchment mag well I thought what the heck I'll give it ago, can't do much wrong lol
Well this is the end result and i am quite pleased with it.....
So here comes the muppet part...lol....I spent about 20 minutes looking for a really nice verse to put inside, just to let Nige know hes not on his own through this.....I found the perfect one.....it starts
I love the way you look at me
Your eyes so bright & blue.

Well with my head in a spin at the moment I kinda remember thinking you need to change that cus Nige has got gorgeous brown eyes....well I didn't, I forgot and printed it, gave it to him...and he said gorgeous card hun, but whos it for?
I said you, you noggin,.....he then fell about laughing and pointed out my mistake....oops....
So I took the card off him crossed it out and put "Shitty brown eyes" instead....lol

Hope you like the card
