It's Spookin' Time!!!

When I came to make this card, my arthritus was playing up in my right hand & being right handed, it was creating havoc with me using the computer to print stuff off...so my fab hubby came to the rescue, he printed it all off & cut it all out for me..& then decided after I had stuck it all together that it needed one of his fab spiders!! lol

Thanks Nige your one in a million! xx

So onto my card for MAWTT this week, where  Brenda has decided to go all spooky with 'Halloween' & we are being sponsored by Sarah Hurley!

We're getting all kinda 'spooky' at OSAAT!!!!

Oh firstly I just want to say, I am sooooooooo sorry I have neglected all my blogging buddies this last week, today is the first time since Tueday I have got out of bed (& I hated it!!) I had gastric flu, which I have never had before, well I've never had flu before & haven't had a cold for years...its just typical it only happened because I go into hospital on Thursday for major surgery, well I hope I do. If this cough doesn't go then I won't be arghhhhh!!!!!
Hopefuly be a bit more back to normal this week, well for a few days anyways!
I'm just thankful I had this card made weeks ago for todays challenge at OSAAT, because I've got 3 crafty parcels sitting on my craft table that I just haven't bothered with, I think its because I'm so weak having not eaten properly since last Tuesday!!!

Yeah I know its only the beginning of October, but we are getting

ready for Halloween early over at OSAAT!!!

There are lots of pictures of this card, because I just love it!!!

Look at the spiders googly eyes!!!

Spent the afternoon watching QVC, don't usually order crafty stuff off there, but decided to order a new stitching thingimy...with having arthritis I find it really difficult to sew on cards & usually only faux stitch, I'm hoping this new fandangle thing will help & you should be seeing loadsa stitching on my cards real soon lol...

Todays card I made, because whilst looking for a different stamp, I found this one & realised I'd had it ages & not even inked it up oopsss! shhh don't tell Nige hehe!!
