Making up for lack of crafting!

I think I have been in overdrive these past two nights.
I made a total of 16 pages!
Trying hard to get my childrens scrapbooks
into some kind of order!
This is how far behind I am.
My son's first Birthday ( he will be 5 this year!!!)
Splish Splash he was having a bath!
Tiny hands that hold on tight. My son loved flying high on daddy's leg!My daughters first Easter.
Silly hat and cute sleeper!How fast did she grow?Doing the washing, gardening and having fun!A cute girl in lilac!We had a naming day for both out little ones
to welcome them into our family.
It was a very special day, that I will always remember!My son's first Nativity, when he was in Nursery.
A cute picture of them both, at easter time.

I would love to read your comments on these pages.

A little sunshine.

I am sending everyone sunshine and smiles.
I think we all need them right now!
I have been at the hospital these past two mornings.
Long stories short,
I am being looked at as they think I could have the start
of rheumatiod arthritis.
Blood tests and x-rays of hands and feet done.
An ultra sound scan to come on my hands.
I go back in 3-4 Months.
They think I am not showing signs yet but it could be the start!
Today I went about loss of feeling in my right foot.
Another long story, after surgery on my spine last summer.
To relieve sciatic pain, I noticed my right foot had lost sensations.
Today I have learnt, IT will NEVER get better,
but I am lucky not to loose power!
Return in a year to make sure it stays as it is,
then I will be discharged.
Oh well at least I am living and walking.

No Crafting this weekend!

I can not believe that the weekend has gone by and I have done no crafting!
Its very strange for me not to have something to show you all on here.
I got a cold on Friday evening, and have felt so rough, its hit me hard this time.
Oh well must carry on and try to tidy up after the half term holidays,
my son is back at school with a new teacher! I just hope he gets on ok.
Hope you all have a good day, enjoy the sun if you have it ;-)

They both wanted a card from Mummy & Daddy.
How could I not say we love them??

Paper Take Weekly Challenge 'Stripes'

I made this card just now!
For the Paper Take Weekly Challenge.
It had to include stripes,
the image was part of the blog candy I won,
I used Marvy Pens to water colour it.
Both Papers are off a Funky Hand disc!
I think they look great with this image.

Some more work....

Here is a project I have been working on..
It started off as a plain note book!
The book now looks like this.
The front has a Tilda on it.
Then turn it over you get another front cover,
this time with a sugar nellie.And then inside there are Tilda pages,
with all the images of her I have collected!
More than I thought!!!And inside behind the sugar nellie,
you find the lovely images I have there.

I do hope to colour in all the Tildas too!

At least now I have a record of the stamps I have.

Tilda challenge # 6 RECYCLING MOTHERS!

Challenge #6
So This week we would love to see your Mothers Day Art Work involving


Recycling along with of course Magnolia stamps.

Here is my entry...

The recycled element on my card is the wire work and crystal section.

The crystals were from a wind chime that broke a long time ago.

I have been wondering what I could use them for.

Though I have to say I would not recycle my Mum! as the title may read ;-),

hope you all like my effort.
