MAWTT DT - Snow Cute

Morning everyone!

Hope you are all well this morning but if you're feeling poorly I do hope you feel better soon.  It was a gorgeous summer day yesterday but unfortunately today we're back to grey skies and rain is forecast.

This is my last post for Moving Along with the Times and today I'm hosting the challenge.  I chose the theme of Snow Cute in the hope that some of our challengers will don their thinking caps to make their first Christmas card of the year.  I'm a lucky girl as my Christmas card box is full to overflowing which is just as well as I won't be making any more.  The sale of my crafty stuff has gone well but there is still a bit left so it will be getting popped onto Ebay at the weekend.   Two boxes of paper and card went to a good home yesterday.  One of my friends SIL runs Beavers so I'm sure they will manage to put it to good use.

My last card has been crafted and my last blog posted.  I am still going to pop in and out of blogland though to keep in touch with my blogging buddies so I'll say Au Revoir for now and see you around.

Holly Jolly DT - Anything but a Card

Morning one and all!

This is my last challenge post for Holly Jolly and the theme of Anything but a Card has been chosen by Judy.  A big thank you to Cindy for having me on the DT and to all the girls for their friendship.  Although I won't be crafting I'll still be popping in to see what's going on.

Waiting for Mr Tesco to come with my shopping then I'm meeting my daughter in her lunch hour.  Her office is just along the road from our M&S Food so we go in there for a sandwich and a blether.

Christmas Card DT - Buttons & Twine

Ooooh, I'm late on the go today.  The craft room has been super busy most of the week (next post you'll see why).

This is my last challenge with the Christmas Card girls.  I've decided to step down from all of my DTs as I just don't have the time to spend on card making.

The family had the most wonderful day out at The Scottish Cup Final in Glasgow yesterday and it was made even more enjoyable as our team won ... the first time in their 130 year history that they've made it to the cup and they won!  Woopee!!!

Son, Daughter, Mr C

Here is the card I made for my last challenge with the Christmas Card Challenge.  Off now to get the vacuum out, I've spilt UTEE all over the floor .... grrr!

Hi everyone!

Wowser, Sunday has whizzed around again and we are now almost in the middle of May.  I tell you, it WILL soon be Christmas .... groan!  Join in with our challenges and you'll soon have a nice stash of cards ready for the big day.

Not sure what's going on in our household today.  Ideally I'd like a day in the craft room to catch up on DT work instead of constantly chasing my tail, time will tell!

MAWTT DT - White Christmas

Morning one and all!

Chasing my tail as I always seem to be these days!  A gorgeous day here so some washing is about to be loaded into the machine.  The other day I had bedding on the line and Mr C said "your washing's lying on the ground". Thinking something had escaped it's pegs I went outside only to find that the whirly pole had snapped in two.  With Mr C holding it upright and me rescuing the washing the poor old whirly was consigned to the bin!  I now have a nice shiny new one so today might just be its inauguration!

Our granddaughter is on study leave just now so I'm taking her out for lunch.  She can't study all the time and deserves a wee break.  That's two down and her next one isn't till next Friday.  Ooooh, even though it's a very long time since I sat my O Levels and Highers it still brings back memories ... not all good!!!

Enjoy your day.

Christmas Card DT - No Embellishments

Hi!

Sunday again, the weeks are passing by at an alarming rate!  It was a lovely day yesterday in my little corner of the world and after getting caught up with the housework and ironing Mr C and I spent the afternoon in the garden.  The grass is growing like wildfire ... as are the weeds!  The garden is looking good again, it just takes a wee while to lick it into shape after winter.  

It's time for another Christmas Card challenge and this time there's to be no embellies.  Now even for me, the clean and simple type, that's quite difficult but I think I've nailed it with this card.

Enjoy your Sunday whatever you're up to.

Hi peeps

If you're up when this is posted at 5am you're either mad, an insomniac, in another time zone or getting ready for work.  Me ... I'm asleep!

If you're wondering where my embossing is, look closely at the diecut in the middle and you'll see the little embossed dots.

Hi!

Oooops, this post was still sitting on Draft instead of me changing it to Schedule.  Not to worry, got there now.  

I have a voucher for Afternoon Tea at one of the local restaurants and thought Mr C would come with me this afternoon but he said he'd rather not as all the sandwiches would have lettuce on them and it's something he just hates!  Instead my pal and I are going so I'm off now to get organised.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Morning all!

Mr C is doing an extra shift today, starting at 0800 so I'm going to have a crafty day as he's not finished until 1600.  If my bestest buddie's hubby is watching footie or rugby on TV this afternoon she's going to pop in to make some jewellery with me ... and have a natter and a cuppa!!!

Enjoy your Easter Sunday.

Christmas Card DT - Favourite Colouring Medium

Hi peeps!

Another week has sped by and nothing done!!!  Going to have a day in the craft room today as Mr C and I are off on our travels again at the end of the week so I'll need to try to be organised.

Our theme at Christmas Card Challenges today is to use your favourite colouring medium and mine is using my Promarkers.  I don't have that many and I'm not particularly good at colouring and shading but I try!

Enjoy your Sunday.
