Hi all hope your all having a good week. Well my car has gone in to be repaired, they've said it should be about 10-14 working days. I was really worried to start off with because when the man came to collect my car. After looking around it I asked do you think it will be ok & said I don't know it will all depend on what they say back at the garage. I asked why & he said he opened the boot door to look inside & now it doesn't shut, Oh dear me I said ( well words to that effect ). Anyway I've received a call from the garage & they read out what needs to be done & it quite a long list.
I haven't done much crafting this week, well with my car going in, then I had to go & collect my hire car ( well they came & picked me up took me to the office & then I drove back). They said that the car I would get would be similar in size etc. to mine I don't think so lol. I had a Renault scenic & they gave me a Vauxhall Insignia don't get me wrong it's lovely it drives great, but it is quite a bit bigger than mine. Then we had to back to the orthodontist for my youngest to get the first of her brace fitted, got to go back next week for the other to be fitted. Well yesterday was the first day I had to do any crafting so after the school runs I sat & printed off some digi stamps from some of my CD's. Then I sat with the telly on Create & craft & a cup of tea & started to colour with my promarkers I haven't really done much colouring so it took me quite a while, but I enjoyed it & I happy with how they turned out. I will take a photo & put them on so hopefully you can give some tips on where I'm going wrong or how I could get better.

Hi all it's a very wet Monday morning here, well it has hardly stopped raining all weekend. Hope you've had better weather where you are. This weekend was my Mum & Dad's 50th wedding anniversary & I was so much looking forward to going out for our family meal to celebrate. I also couldn't wait to se what they thought of the card I made for them. Pictures of which I posted on my blog the other day. the only thing that has changed is that I put a photo of them, well I punched the head of both of them & put one in each heart on the front of the box.
Well I was taking my youngest daughter Hannah to the orthodontist on Friday afternoon. I was just pulling in to the drive way after signalling & this card rammed me up the back end, I hit my head so hard on the head rest I couldn't believe it. I have never had a car accident in all the time I have been driving. Both myself & Hannah are ok just a bit shaken & will still made the appointment. Luckily enough the other driver admitted it was his fault & he was a doctor lol, so he made sure we were both ok.
Despite this we had a great weekend & my mum & dad loved the card I made the, they even put the box on display. I also made them a cake it was going to be a round one, but my was saying how much she likes the cupcake cake I have made for birthdays so instead I made them one of those. I covered the base (which would be the wrapper in a normal cupcake) in chocolate & the top in royal icing. I also made some butterflies & flowers dusted them with different coloured dusting powders & stuck them on both the top & base. I sandwiched the top & base together with vanilla butter cream & everyone has enjoyed it. I will put some photos up for you to have a look at shortly.

Hi, as promised here are the photos of my latest projects. Sorry it's taken a few days, but I've been having some problems with my keis air on my lap top which is what I use to down load my photos off my phone. So I've had to refer back to the old way of putting my card from my phone into a card reader & then putting that in my phone. Any way less moaning here are my photos.
The first couple are of the bench cover I made for our bench outside.
And these are of the card I have made for my Mum & Dad's 50th wedding anniversary later this month & I made a box to go with it. The photo at the end is a copy of one of theirs from one of their wedding albums, I had to ask my dad for it so my mum didn't know. I told him it was for a pitcher frame I have that has family photos in big letters on it. Well this isn't a lie I do have one & I have taken a copy of a few of their wedding photos so I am thinking of putting one of them in it on their wedding day & also one of my own.

This next lot are of the card I have made for one of my best friends 50th birthday later this month. I've just got to stamp Happy Birthday on the inside, & I made an envelobox for it
