Eurika!

I know one or two of you may need picking up of the floor, but I have actually added a few cards to my blog for a change lol

It's been a while since I added any, mainly due to the fact that I forgot how to haha, But although I have been poorly this week ( It's ok I'll wait for the sympathy to die down lol) I managed to have a little play in my craft room today.

I have also added a couple of Birthday cards for 2 very special young ladies who will both be 11 at the end of the month( YEP, you guessed it ....they're twins lol)

I hope you like them, as you can see one is a REAL JLS fan and the other is totally opposite and enjoys reading every book she can find. I have seen a picture of this young lady sitting on a sledge in the snow, with a book in her hand and actually reading it

Ah to be young again

Take care all and watch this space lol xxx

Finished at last!

Well, where do i start re the decorator from Hell ! Suffice to say, he will not be coming back !

He made a fabulous job of our bedroom and he was due to decorate the hall this week, only trying to pin him down was abit like knitting fog (IMPOSSIBLE!) Every time I rang he had a stupid excuse so i said " OK, we will strip the walls and paint the gloss and all you need to do is the ceiling and paper the walls"

Hmmmmm not as simple as it should have been, he finally painted the ceiling Thursday afternoon and was due back to paper on Friday at 11am. 12pm arrived and still no sign, so i ran him and NO ANSWER, I rang again, again, again and then Will called round ( he lives round the corner in the same village !) no answer although his car and van was outside.

So I decided to get rid of my anger and decorate it myself. It wasnt what I wanted to do, as my hands have been really painful lately and even lifting a cuppa was a chore. BUT I got on with it and with Wills help, it was finished and new curtains put up and pictures hung 3 hours later......................so nah nah nah nah nah nah to the decorator.

On top of al this my crafting laptop wasn't being very kind to me so I HAD to have a new one ( didn't I Lynne ? lol) after 2 days of installing and copying stuff to the new one, It is all ready for me to go play ONLY I have a sore throat, bad cough and lost my voice and feel rough so maybe tomorrow .

Today it is 6 yrs since I met my lovely hubby on a blind date through meeting on an internet dating site, So we're hopefully going out for a meal at the place where we met, ONLY this time HE won't be late and I won't be waiting at the bar on my own lol ( It was the first time I went into a pub on my own and look what I came out with lmao)

Catch you all later xxxxxxxxxxx

what a wonderful day

Well here I am again( twice in a week lol) The sun's shining beautifully and the horrible wind seems to have dropped at last.

Yesterday I had a visit from 2 of my "spesh" friends and we had such a laugh trying to understand a couple of crafting cd's.................well Lynne and I were laughing, I think Anjie was just stunned at how thick we ( or rather Lynne) could actually be hahaha. It all seemed to go so well and I knew exactly what to do until ...............they went home and I think they took my paint pallette with them, cos it sure isnt on the PSE programme lol OR if it is, its very well hidden !

I'm not saying it was the fault of the bottle of Rose' wine we drank, but I don't think that helped lol

Today I think I will be having a stripping day..................not because the suns shining lol but hopefully the decorator will manage to find his way here this week, to paper the hallway...............(note to self DO NOT ASK HIM HOW HE IS!) he would give Victor Meldrew a serious run for his money regarding moaning and complaining BUT he does a good job and I can cope as long as I put the ear muffs on!

Catch you all soon........................I dohope someone pops by to say hello xxx

Long time no blogging lol

If any of my followers are still following(lol) then I am sorry for not posting for a long long long time.............but due to this and that a little of the other( well not actually the OTHER lol) I just haven't had much to say..............and YES ok I can hear a few of you saying " Chrissy with nothing to say???"
Will had phuemonia. I had several chest infections, my arthritus stopped me crafting and even now it is painful to type but I AM BACK.....hopefully
We were supposed to go away at Christmas to Germany but that had to be cancelled due to me being ill, and NOW Will has got a cold.....................( aww come on give him SOME sympathy please, cos he doesnt get much from me haha) AWW thats so not fair as I have just squeezed 6 lemons and made him some refreshing lemonade lol

Oh I can hear some grumbling cos I am wittering on( I bet its coming from a certain person in Bramley lol)

I will try to post more regularly and keep you up to date with my crafting

TTFN xxx

AWOL apologies

Well where do I start?
its been a funny couple of weeks here, first of all I have had poor hubby ill in bed for almost a week, we all know how MAN flu affects the weaker sex ( his words not mine)but he was quite ill and needed the doctor to visit............THEN he very kindly passed his bugs on to me, but now we all know how far superior we are at handling illness.............mainly because we have to as nothing would get done around here lol and I have been struggling with a bad chest and aches and pains but only managed half a day in bed lol as hoovering and chores make me better ( my words not his lol)
I have managed to make a few cards ......in between chasing Millie for this and trying to retrieve that and getting nowhere..............Today I found her with my blister pack of decongestants, minus 2 tablets....she never told me she had a bad chest!
and then this evening I poured myself a glass of Rose`, went to the kitchen getting things ready for tea.............and she came happily in licking her lips and smelling strongly of alcohol, when I checked my glass it was half empty....................Anyone want an alcoholic puppy with a bad chest?

Any tips on puppy care. gladly accepted lol

Safe at last!

At long last the work is almost complete to stop our little cottage floating down the river lol
The heavy machines are getting less each day and at the moment the are putting the footpath back and landscaping the bank. Hopefully everything will be back to normal next week and I can finally start my spring cleaning ! oh Joy of Joys x x x

I Was Robbed!!

My darling sister in law came to stay yesterday. her and my brother live in Bulgaria and they take it in turns to come over a few times a year( they do get on lol but Sue's mum lives with them and needs looking after so can't be left alone)

Anyway.........I have been trying for ages to get her into crafting as she doesn't have a hobby, I have been sending her bits to get her going but when she came yesterday she ravaged my craft stash!! and when I say ravaged...I MEAN ravaged lol

from my gems to my gadgets, from my pens to my paper lol I have a suspicion her luggage allowance will be over when she checks in at Luton.... ha!ha! serves you right lady lol

My peel off pens have disappeared, along with my clear stamping block and a lorra lorra other bits, Its a good job I love her and helped her pack them safey lol

I miss her when she goes home, this time I am missing alot more haha

This afternoon I had a little play with my distressing inks and I have to say I like the effect! what do you think?
