Some Lovely cards for weddings and babys

I made these cards for the Summer fair at my son's school,

I decided to make these the day before the fair.

I am so glad I did as I sold a couple of each.

These lovely images are by lili of the valley,

I got the complete sets that had backing papers to match.

The one above I coloured the mans hair black, and highlighted

some of the flowers in pink.

I thought a mint green one looked really pretty.

The wedding cake looks great,
I coloured some flowers in with gel pens. The wedding bell card was one that was an instant hit!

Two cute baby cards.


And the final 4 Baby cards,
I only had to add buttons or ribbons to complete the look.

Some Cards & stuff I should have shown ages ago!

I made these book marks for the school summer fair.

I was shocked to find that we sold quite a few,

but they were only 10p each.

Book Marks for the boys.
Some for the girls!
I added some fibres and ribbons to each bookmark,
which finished them off!
The Card below was for my father In-Law,
He seemed to like it.

I love this Tilda stamp.

Another card I made for Hubby this time!
Not my usual style but then I have been
through a time of not wanting to
craft for a very long time!

Thats all for now!

Yummy Candy !

I have found some lovely blog candy...

Take a look for yourself

We DID IT!!!!

Trace (My Sister), Kiaya(my Niece) and Myself all completed our Race for life!

I say that as though its a big thing, well to us its a big thing, considering,

Trace has a bad back, arthritis and other problems.

I haven't walked so far since my back surgery last june, and I have athritis too.

Kiaya (trace's Daughter) is fitter than us both!

It was soooooo WET! the puddles were like rivers, the mud was like thick GLUE, and we all got soaked through to our skin, it was the worst possible night to do it.

I finished in 1hr 10mins, Trace & Kiaya took 1hr 30mins.

Kiaya wouldn't leave her mums side and she ended up so very cold she was given a blanket and foil to keep her warm.

The Support staff, actually supported Trace all the way around and walked her right to the finish line. She said without them she wouldn't have made it.

We both used walking sticks, I know I would have ended up on my backside without it!

Kiaya is ok, a little sore but ok.

Trace is in pain and having trouble walking.

ME... I am in big trouble, back, legs, feet, hands are all sore! I need a holiday!

Thanks to those that sponsored me, it means the world to me....

Plus Hubby said last night in bed when he gave me a hug.... His mum would have been proud of me!!! I cried!

So much for thinking I was giving up!!!

As my friends had kindly pointed out... not to give up! LOL,

the thought came right out of my mind.

I have booked a table in My son's school summer Fair!

So, out came my beading and a load of cards that

were ready to sell!

I now have 4 boxes of different cards, and a selection of

beading made and being made.

The fair is a week tomorrow!!!!

I will take some photos of the day and show them to you.

Race For Life

On Wednesday 9th July I will be doing the Race for life at Coombe Abby Park.

This could be the final year I will do this, as I have been suffering

so much with pain in my back and now my feet!

I do this race in honour of my Mum in-law who died of Cancer

2005, the same year my Daughter was born.

My Mum in-law fought Cancer for 5 long years.

PLEASE PLEASE sponsor me, there is a link on the top of this page on the

left hand side. I would love to raise around £100 but if I could raise more

then that would make my last time even better.

I also wish to remember a dear Neighbour Arthur Goldsmith,

who sadly passed away earlier this month.

Wish me luck, I may just come in last... but at least I will do my very best.

Thanks

Is there a time when you just give up?

Is there a time when you just give up?... ...

I guess thats how I am feeling just now,

that maybe I should sell everything crafty

and give up on trying to make anything.

I have even stopped visiting my beloved crafty forum

because I feel out of it.

I haven't touched my desk in days,

even weeks now.

Im not giving up YET!

But its been a thought in my mind for a long time.

I have been spending time playing around in Facebook,

I feel at home there just playing and having

a laugh.

I am still Alive and kicking... really!

just not as active.
