What a load of Bo&&*cks!

Well the manic-ness that was Scraplady is over - but only until next year I hasten to add, work is finished (gotta love the military for having long hols) and I am now on my Christmas leave yippee!

Of course this just means now I have time to get together stuff for the Craft Obsessions crop tomorrow, make a card for my brother to give his girlfriend and all the last minuteness that this time of year inspires so that we have the perfect if disfunctional family Christmas.

This week I have been honoured to be immortalised over on Julia Dunnits blog and so as requested, here are a glimpse of my bo&&*cks, a little rearranged to avoid offending the sensitive.

Sadly since this photo was taken, the B has dropped off and gotten lost. so I now only have ollocks, which isnt really quite the same!

If I don't come back before next weekend, have a great Christmas everyone and a scrappy New Year.

WOYWW - Just a ribbon or two!

Last weekend I went to the NEC and had a fab time, this weeks WOYWW shows the tanlge of ribbons I bought while I was there. I went hoping to get some Christmassy coloured ribbons since a couple of the cards I've conjured up for the 2SL card Marathon need them, but I seemed to find a lot of others jumping into my bag.

If you squint really hard, the out of focus (hey its meant to be, its called depth of field) in the foreground is one of the cards for the marathon. Its coppery and lovely and I might have to make a few for myself.

Well it was on the table while I took these photos honest! Now its perched on the little shelf over my desk, probably plotting when it will jump off and crown me :-)

All fired up from our Magnetic Year in a Day class over on 2SL I was a little down that I wouldnt get to use said calendar till next year, so I came up with this advent version I can use in December.

The green trees are brads (hiding the magnets) everything else was cut on my trusty Cricut (which after last week I am amazed is still working) the papers are My Minds Eye.

O and the little bag on the side holds the other number trees.

Cute little house

Isnt this cute?

A couple of weeks ago I got the new Cricut Cartridge Winter Woodland, which has a few yummy christmassy things on. Well I got otherwise distracted by a calendar class I am doing tomorrow, and so only got to play with it yesterday evening.

On the cart are a few 3d buildings. You make up the outer in one colour, the liner in another and slot it inside. Well with it being halloween I thought I would just make the outer and line it with tissue paper and put a tea light in.

Well, its very tiny - only about 3" at the longest bit, and so no one is going to see it if I sit it on the windowsill. So, I think a very big piece of card, and the 12x24" mat is called for and I'll try another version for Christmas.

So watch this space....

O and for those of you who are coming to the class, dont worry the car is all packed up!

Blimey, I had no idea it was that long since I last blogged, but sure enough its a month! Well I have only one excuse I was really busy doing stuff for 2scrapladies. However I am off work this week and so have a little more time - ah who am I kidding, I am up to my ears in kits and the cricut is red hot, but while it cuts the latest set, I can blog a little.

So as you can see in the photo there is no sign of the desk, but I seem to recall that once apon a time there was one in my office. Aparently there is a nice laminate floor underneath too, but that is currently covered in tiny snippets of paper, green and yellow velvet paper fuzz and glitter from the glitter card. Anyone stopping in here for more than a few minutes also soon becomes dusted in fuzz and glitter.

Still, by the end of the weekend it'll all be over and I'll have to come up with a new excuse for having a small tornado go off in the office!

:-)

WOYWW - again!

Goodness this week has gone quickly. My desk as you can see is still a mess only this time you may detect a distinctly christmassy feel to it.

The foot is pretty much totally better, thanks to some pretty major antibiotics, some medicinal cake from my friend and a few days off work. Last of the antib's taken tonight and hopefully thats it gone.

Taught my first proper paid class on Saturday, at the notsolocaltomecraftshop - thanks everyone who came, hope you all enjoyed it. I am looking forward to doing some more if I can conjure up stuff I think people will like.

WOYWW

Lots of stuff on my desk at the moment, this is just a smidgeon of it. I have piles for the copic class I am teaching on Saturday. There's cut out and coloured in digi stamps (hopefully for a future class) and scraps, and a load of Cricut carts I need to put away. Basically I need to have a tidy up.

But I think I will sit here, with my foot up (still waiting for RUB to come out with a padded lid) and a cold drink and surf the net for a bit.

Update on the boring entry re: my foot. It was lots worse so I saw the doc today, who was surprisingly lovely. She thinks I have an infection so I have horsepill antibiotics and have to stay off it for the rest of the week - oh what a shame!
