Well I didn't think I’d make it this morning; but here I am and wishing all the WOYWWERS and Bloggers much happiness and good health for 2013. Why don’t you hop over to the stamping ground and see what’s going on in the crafty world around us, .Julia the fabulous host will make you most welcome... If this is new to you; it’s the opportunity to have a good look around everyone who takes part amazing workdesks with permission!... its FAB especially if like me you’re a tad nosey!

Not a lot going on here I’m afraid, my desk is a little neglected, I’m in the process of starting another card and I did get one finished yesterday which I started at the weekend, I made the most of using some of my great Christmas goodies and hopefully will have something more to show soon. Unfortunately work is somewhat difficult at the minute and I’ve lots of late night finishes unfortunately leaving no time in the week for card making or anything else, but it won’t be forever and I did get the bank holidays off so mustn’t grumble.

Well need to get ready for work so best wishes and good health to everyone. I hope that 2013 is a good year and see you again soon Hugs... Andrea x

next project -started at least.. just !

I finally got some time at the weekend and today to play with some of my fab presents. Before Christmas I was working on my daughter’s birthday card but I've had to stash that away for now until she goes back to Uni… I don’t want her peaking at it! This card is for no specific reason other than enjoyment. I've been trying out my new pens and dies and generally having a bit of fun. I love all the Saturated Canary stamps and she was a joy to colour, I've went for blues again my favourite colour which I think you may have guessed by now if you are a follower! I inked all the papers and card using distress ink which for a first attempt it went ok although a bit patchy in areas… I'm sure practice makes perfect. The flower die was a present, I can see me using it a lot, it’s so easy and pretty and I can change the size dependant on how tightly I roll it fab! Unfortunately I don’t have much time for card making in the week with work, but I do get the chance to pop into my craft room and play around with papers and bits planning my next one; which I will hopefully get to do at the weekend.

I hope everyone has had a lovely time over the festive period and are all set for the New Year and your resolutions, I have a list for this year!.. Which I’m keeping quiet about as tend not to do well... so I though the more I have the better the chance that I achieve at least one…that’s the logic anyway we will see. I hope you have more success with yours!

Well got to go get dishes finished from dinner tonight was the last ‘big meal’ before my daughter goes back tomorrow, her time home has went so quickly but it has been lovely . I hope you have good week …hugs Andrea X
