ps anyone who's interested the girls room has been spotless for a week now lol

Busy few days!

Well these 3 cards were done real quick, My Nicki came home from dance and said "Mum can you do me 3 thank you cards for tomorrow". This was 8pm, but she wanted to thank the 3 girls who performed her A-level choreography exams piece for her. She's been teaching them the dance for a month now and they have work so hard for her. The exam was Friday and although Nicki wasn't allowed in while the girls performed her dance she thinks it went well.
I did 3 the same but different, choosing the same papers but in the girls favourite colours. I was told they were chuffed. The papers I think are all Papermania, and the images are all painted with watercolours. Which is your favourite lol. I'm not sure I keep changing my mind. Have a brill day and I'm off to start looking at some of your sites hugs xx

Well it's been a hectic few days. I've been so busy. I'm wadrobe mistress for my girls dance show, and there are over 200 kids. And at the moment I'm trying to get sizes for every child. Every child needs at least one leotard. But most need a leotard and a catsuit, and each one needs trying on!!!!!! But the likes of my Nicki needs to try on 1 leotard, 1 catsuit, one classic tutu and one skirt tutu, plus other bits and bobs. So I'm very sorry if I'm a bit busy and don't get around to visiting you as much as I'd like, but until July 6th I'm going to have to miss some days. But promise I'll make it up to you all in the summer holidays. hugs xx

Bright Anniversary

Thought I'd do a bright card for our friends anniversary, they are such sunny people. For this card I used-

Card - Papermania

Buttons - Quickutz die

Pennyblack stamp painted with watercolours.

Well I'm hoping for a better day today. I was happily making cards before going to work yesterday, when my Quickutz Revolution stopped working. Rang the shop where I got it ok bring it back and we'll see. It's now gone back to where they got it from so fingers crossed it won't take long to fix it. So boo hoo no machine. Then just as I was leaving for work, that dreaded phone call from the school. Had to take our Mandy to the hospital, turns out she badly sprained her ankle. 2 weeks no dance, not good as sorting out show work lol. She's gutted! But at least it's not broken. So I missed work and spent a lovely few hours at hospital. And today I'll have to explain to the kids at school where I was, I'll be asked at least 10 times just from Sean, as he will need me to repeat it, so he knows. That's why I don't have time off, it upset them too much.

Well I'm hoping for a brill day, I'm off to church this afternoon after work to listen to Mandy singing, she got a solo so should be good, but wrap up warm it's cold in the big church. I hope you all have a good day too and get loads of cards done. hugs xx
