Hi everyone

I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and got spoilt by the big boy in the red suit. I certainly did so I must have been good this year hehehehe

I thought I would share a few happy snaps with you all the first is of Poss, opening some Kelly Clarkson tickets, a little disappointed she has to wait until April.

The next is of myself, ugh, and my closest friend Paula, one each of the twins the first is Craige in red jim jams, then Luke. The last picture is Scout who of course get a little something from Santa, it's a shame she destroyed it within seconds, Scallywag!

After all the celebrating that's been going on I decided today is going to be a very lazy day with no house work of any kind (if the kids are lucky I might feed them....LOL) I'm not even getting out of my jim jams.

Well, that's it for me I'm going to do a bit of a blog hop, have a swim later and watch a bit of the box (T.V.) oh what a hard day I have lined up.....lol.

Take care

My Poss turned twelve

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick post tonight just had to add these Happy snaps to my blog. They are of my babies on Friday morning whilst opening Possums birthday presents and of course Scouts in there to, she is such a nosy bugger. It has been an extra long weekend for Poss, she had her friend stay over Saturday night and her best friend, Beau also turned twelve today and his parents took them both to the movies.

Must go its very late and I still have uniforms to iron.

Take care

Another Box

Hi Everyone,

I know, it's about time I had another post. I'm feeling a lot better this week with only a few head spins a day so hopefully in the next coming days that will be down to none a day, keep your fingers crossed for me.

I have finally completed this box for Leigh-Anne's teacher, it has taken a while because it is very hard for me to keep my head down for long periods of time so it has taken longer than usual.

I have used a Fiskars paper from the Wild Honey Collection, the paint is a Dulux paint (thanks to my hubby) called Kiwi Juice. The ribbon was from Spotlight, unfortunately it was brought by the meter and I forgot to see who made it. I have filled it with some mini sized Mars Bars YUMMY! I hope he likes it.

Anyways I'm off to cook dinner etc... and wrap up Leigh-Anne's birthday presents while she is in the shower as it is her birthday tomorrow.

Thanks for popping by

HHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLOOOOO!

Hi everyone, I'm happy to say that after a 4 day trip to hospital I'm on my way to recovery. I had Bilateral Vertigo which is due from the torn artery in my neck which happened 18 months ago, who would have thought that the artery would still be giving me problems! So, before I got rushed to the hospital Friday I made this box for my friend, Paula, for her birthday. The box is by Kaszazz. I painted it with a Dulux water based paint called Riot. The paper is by Kaisercraft and so are the pale pink flower Rhinestones. I also made a matching gift tag. I then filled it with her favourite perfume Panache. Well thanks for stopping by, with all this time on my hands I'm hoping to get a load of crafting done Thanks for popping by Maree x

Hi everyone, Just thought I would let you all know I haven't fallen off the planet, I haven't been to well lately and at this moment the Doctors are still not 100% sure why I'm so ill. I have had a few tests done and now playing the waiting game. I hope to be well enough soon to make my way back to my craft table and get some Chrissy cards done as I'm running out of time. Thanks for popping by Maree

Hello bloggers

Hi everyone,

I know it has been a while since my last posting and I have been crafting I just haven't had the time to post them. I must rename my blog to The Part-Time Blogger.

So here is the first card I have done. This is for my friends little girl, who will be turning four on the weekend. She is very much a girl who likes everything pink, fairies and flowers.

It is another Tri-fold card which I seem to be addicted to at the moment.

The cardstock is from the Glitter Pack, the butterflies are done with an ek success punch and I have added a little glitter to either the wings or the centre.

The Happy Birthday sentiment and the scalloped circles are done using my Cuttle bug.

Well, must be off, I have to take my kiddies to school and then I have to do the food shopping, ggggrrrrr.

Thanks for stopping by

Second post for the week, ooooooooo!

Hi Ya everyone,

Can you believe that is it Sunday already, I don't know about you but I think the weeks are going by faster and faster.

Anyways, onto my Christmas card. I took a little inspiration from my dear Cuz, aka The Crafty Goat Girl, who made a Tri-shutter card recently and I thought to myself that I should give it a go so I did, and this is what I came up with. My only problem (apart from the shocking photo) is that I got so carried away with decorating it now I don't know where to write on it :( .

The sentiment is a stamp by Stamp it which I have embossed in gold embossing powder. The flowers are created with a ek success punch, retro daisy in three different sizes. The sticker is left overs from last year, I think I purchased them from Coles, Card stock is from my very large stash and the metallic brad is also from my stash.

Many thanks for stopping by I'm off to have a quick shower before going to the airport to pick my mum up who is coming home from a holiday.

My first christmas card

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all fine and dandy.

I have had a day at home today, YIPPEE and after the house work I thought it might be a great idea if I started my Christmas cards. This is what I came up with.

The card stock is from my stash, I'm trying to use it up. I have run the dark blue card through the cuttlebug machine and embossed some dots onto it. The image is from Pollycraft. I have coloured her with my water coloured pencils and to add a little sparkle to her wings and the snow flake I have embossed them with some silver embossing powder. I know it is a little simple but I figure at least I have made a start!

I must be off now, I have to pick up the munchkins soon from school and from there take them to their Karate lessons.

Thanks for taking the time and stopping by

Howdy Strangers

HHHEEEEELLLLOOOO.

Well it has been a while hasn't it, and I really wish I had a great excuse like winning the lottery or something just as exciting but NOPE nothing like that at all, just a busy life. In need of some time out I decided to start with a new look blog and then headed off to the craft table for some me time.

I have made this card for the twins teacher, Mrs Keating, who will be leaving us in 3 weeks to have a bubby. We will miss her heaps and heaps.

I have used a Popcorn bear stamp, many thanks to Jo who lent it to me, coloured her with my water coloured pencils. The image has been cropped onto 2 different shades of purple bazzill paper purchased from Scrapbooking to Di For in Malaga. The white is a embossed white Bazzill which I have shaded with pink and blue chalks to highlight the pattern, which I hope you can see in the picture. The charm and ribbon are from spotlight. I kept the card simple because no one knows what she is having. I guess all will be revealed very soon.

Thanks so much for dropping by, I have to buzz off now and pick the kids up from school....buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Take care
