Still feeling sicky and headachy

Hi all

Still feeling very queasy if didn't know better would think I was pregnant, (thank god those days are long over lol). 

Alan and Sarah are in the kitchen and I can hear them wondering the timings of everything am leaving them to it he he.

Well our eldest daughter Pauline asked me to make two ruby wedding anniversary cards for some of her friends at work they had to be contemporary (what ever that is) think it means in fashion.  I did make a Christmas card earlier today but not showing it to you as it is Pants with a capital P it looks awful so have consigned it to the bin.

But my anniversary card I am pleased how it has turned out especially as I am brain dead today, Alan and Sarah had to do the shopping today as I could not even face the drive to Tesco let alone walking around.  so here is my card instead of all the waffle

 

 

I used flowers from stash, In Stitches embossing folder by craft concepts, ribbon, pearls, flowers from stash.   Sentiment was computer generated.

 

I will be back shortly to do a bit of blog hopping

 

Love to all

What a load of old poo

Evening all

Well I managed to get home from the craft fair before the rain started but the car will have to wait to be emptied otherwise everything will get wet.

Well what a load of old poo the craft fair was not worth the time or effort; I made wait for it .......... (drum roll) a grand total of £5.00, it took 45 minutes to set up and then another 45 minutes to pack the car back up so disappointed. The table cost 5.00 so I sold £10.00 worth of stock and that was from people that also had tables, I sold one bag, 3 cards and a large container candle.  We had 3 people come in from the school and they stayed for a cuppa and a bit of cake and then left did not buy a thing, it was well advertised as all the children took home flyers and considering it was in aid of rainbows (under 5's) disgusting turn out.

I took a photo of my table all ready to go

I made a Christmas card last night using an old La Pashe decoupage that I had hanging around I reduced the size of it so that it would fit onto my card, used a couple of gems and paper from stash hope you like it.   oops just noticed that the gems have slipped took the photo before they had dried. lol.

Well am off to do a bit of blog hopping now and guess what I ordered today the bebunni CD from Crafters Companion so naughty of me as I am supposed to be on a craft diet but I needed to cheer myself up after a god awful afternoon with screaming kids (belonging to mums running a table) so glad mine are gown up. 

Loads of love to all

Feeling rather blue

Morning all

Thank you on the lovely comments you have been making about the new look of my blog.  I just love it makes me smile.  I am feeling rather down today, am having a flare-up of my Fibromyalgia aching across the shoulders feeling sick and headachy, so not much happening with me today.  I have two cards I need to make and some boxes so will be back after my shower and taking some pills to help me sort myself out.

Do you know it's now 8.15 pm and I started writing this blog at around 10.30 this morning so it's evening all now lol.

Have not done anything today apart from popping to the doctors but the day has got away from me, admit I fell asleep in the chair this afternoon lol.

When Sarah got home from work tonight she asked me if I could make a card for one of her friends who passed her driving test, apparently her favourite colour is purple.  I used an image from Di's digi downloads, flowers from stash sentiment was generated on computer using word

Well that's it for me tonight will pop by to do some blog hopping but won't be around tomorrow as I am doing a craft fair Sarah is taking time off work in the afternoon to help me set up and then dismantle at the end of the day.

So goodnight for now

Love Alison

Do you like it

Evening all

Just a quick one wanted to say a huge big fat THANK YOU to Angie for my new look on my blog isn't it fantastic I just love what she has designed for me.

I have done a bit of tweaking and removed one button by mistake but as it was only a grab me button not too worried. 

Had to make some of my pictures etc a bit smaller so that they were not covering the main page, it took me ages to figure out that I could shrink them lol.  Told you if I had a brain I would be severely dangerous. 

Am off to do a bit more blogging to see your wonderful creations.

Lots of love to all

Thank You Everybody

Morning all

Want to say a huge thank you to everyone who checked my blog out last night, the offending party has been removed (was my counter).

I have decided that if I had a brain I would be very dangerous, honestly the things I do, caught my toe on the cable of the hoover and fell over, poor old Alan he had to try and get me up took ages as I am unable to kneel or even crouch down, in the end I shuffled on my bum to the settee and then with Alan's help managed to haul myself up onto the settee, wouldn't mind but I was not even hovering lol.

Something wonderful is going to be happening to my blog keep watching this space.

I have a couple of 40th wedding anniversary cards to make and one of them has to be contemporary (what the hell is that) I also have a christening card to show you today, I used an image from my Rachael Anne Miller Collection which I love using to make cards.  Ribbon and bling from stash.

 

Am off to do a bit of blog hopping

 

Bye for Now

Information needed please

Hi All

Just a quickie no card but Lin has said she is having trouble with my blog when she looks at it and tries to post and seems to think I have some Malware in the form of a pop up on it.  Are any more of you having trouble with my blog.  I have run a scan and all seems ok my end but if anyone else is having trouble with get my little man in to check the computer out completely.

Love Alison xxx

Not Sure What's Happened

Hi All


I have slept in late again today, Alan phoned to make sure I was alright and it was 09.30 no wonder the day goes so fast.

Just went onto the crafty cardmaking blog where I entered my card in the post below this and it is not there so obviously I have been removed for not meeting their requirements but I really thought my card fit the criteria for Shabby Chic, obviously not, will wait and see perhaps their is a delay in putting the cards onto the site as it needs approval first.

I had a call from my cousin Jim last night asking if I could make two cards, one for his sister my cousin Val and one for his mate Ian's 60th Birthday, who is into St Helens Rugby League and thanks to Angie who has provided the backing paper and badge for this card I was able to produce the following card. 
 

Val's card is from crafts u print which I bought quite a few years ago and have only used once for my nieces birthday, very fiddly but well worth the effort.

Will be back later to do some blog hopping but need to get my breakfast otherwise it will become lunch before I get anything to eat. 

Love to all
