Arggghhhh only 4 days to go lololol!!!

Spent most of the weekend packing but managed to sneek off & leave them three to it & make my DT cards for today lol Not got much left to do now the kitchen &  my craft stuff (oops) lol but thats not going anywhere until at least Thursday.
Update on our Charlie, he's not to bad now thankfully, still not putting much weight on his leg, but he is putting it on the floor.....if he was a labrador he'd be fine, its just Greyhounds are soooooooooooooo mardy lol x

My first DT card this week is for 'The Crazy Challenge' WOW I can't believe how many entries we had last week, I thought you would all be to busy in your gardens, so thank you very much for taking the time to join us....hopefully you will be back again this week.

Our sponsor this week is Hobbissimo

The theme this week is 'Up In The Air' my origanal card was of a Spitfire aeroplane but I didn't like it lol, so decided to do another one & this is what I came up with...I hope you like it!

The theme this week is faux/real stitching which I just love doing. I go through stages of putting faux stitching on every card I make then you won't see it for months until something reminds me of it & hay presto its back on every card again lol...but I do think it looks really pretty.

I had great fun making this card, I found out last week my friend is pregnant again, it'll be their 4th & I hope this time its a boy, because I'm sure they will carry on having babies until they get a boy lol...

I just think this sentiment goes so well with an expecting card

Managed to find one that hasn't gone, but can't see it till Wednesday...argggggggghhhhh I could cry!!

Wow, I hope the weather is as good today as it was yesterday. Will have to try & keep Charlie in, his bits are a bit red (arrr!!!) poor baby, & if we are going camping at the weekend he is going to be out in it enough, so I think he needs a day indoors.

Decided to use a digi image I have had for ages and ages, in fact I've had it so long I can't remember where it's from....I think Funky Fairy, but could be wrong..lol

The challenge over on Digital Tuesday is 'food or drink' and I hadn't got anything, absolutely nothing....stamps with food or drink yes, but digi image nope...then I remembered cupcakes, but could I find them? 90minutes it took me to hunt through my files on my lappy,oh well I found them eventually and printed off loads of them lol, you can't go wrong with a yummy cupcake..I have used a sakura glaze pen on the strawberry pips and choc strands, but you can't see them...I did end up buying some glossy accents last-night and whilst I was shopping on the Secret Crafter, 5 more Promarkers fell in my basket lol ...14 to go hehehe..

My clever baby girl !!!!

Our eldest daughter Danni, (13 last month) has always loved to draw. Well last night she sat for ages drawing a dragon, and I thought he was really, really cute. So when she had gone to school today I sneeked her drawing, scanned him, printed him out and made a card with him, and gave it to her when she got in from school, making her cry... little love lol....I think you'll all agree that he is gorgeous....
