You don't need to tell me...

...I'm a bad, bad blogger LOL

I have been spending far to much time over on UKScrappers chatting and not enough time on here **holds head in shame**

I have been crafting, honest .......

My BIA has been in action again and I made the above mini album as a birthday gift - a friend's teenage daughter saw it and asked if I would show her how to make one.

So, last Wednesday my lounge carpet looked like a stash explosion :o) but two teenage girls spent just over two hours putting together a couple of albums - unfortunately, I didn't take any pics but hopefully when the girls have put their photos in they will show me and I can take some piccies....

This coming week is Valentine's Day (Thursday) so thought I'd better take advantage of DH being on nights so that I could get his card done. It's really hard doing this sort of a card for a fella without going to mushy (LOL) think I managed to keep it fairly "blokey". Just some plain black card with white lettering (cut using my other new toy - my Cricut) and some K&Co card heart shapes from the Smitten range. Hope he likes it...

Although not really into 'pink' I do rather like the Smitten papers and embellies (the mini album used both and loads of pink bazzill). Obviously with Valentine's Day approaching there is a lot of 'lovey' type stuff available in the craft shops but I'm really quite impressed that it is not too over the top.

Hope you like the bits I've made and I promise to try and keep my blog more up to date...I SAID TRY!!!! LOL............................

Are you enjoying...

...the weather?

I'm not, but if you want something to make you smile - I found this pic on a craft website :o)

Thought it was brill.............

I'm back...

...what a relief, back on line :o)

Internet is down...

...at home :o(

At the moment I have a problem with my internet access from home so I am having to rely on access from work. Not ideal as the system is so slow and there are limits/restrictions placed on the sites that can be accessed (grrrrrrrrrrrrr).

So, if this blog doesn't get up dated for a while it's not cos I'm ignoring you all - it's that I can't get on-line.

Hope DH gets things sorted pretty quickly....................

A to Z...

...of ???????????

I have signed up for an A to Z Art Journal over on UKS that is being run by It's a Creative World.

I have had fun and games trying to add a button link over on the RHS ... and failed completely :o( I followed all the instructions (honest LOL) but I couldn't get the code to work so I've sort of created a 'work around'.

I've added the 'button' as a pic and then added a link below it - not quite what was intended, but hey, it works LOL

Every two weeks there will be an email prompt for the next letter of the alphabet.

I will be doing 6x6 book which I will bind with my BIA when it is finished. I didn't want to do a book just about me so my theme is "A to Z of Whatever" - this way I can include loads of stuff that takes my fancy..................

Am loving...

...my BIA.

Just a quick picccy of some little notebooks I made using the card from a cube shaped choc box, papermania PPs and pretty ribbons.

Mum asked if I could make her some little books for her club so this is the start. Just gotta find some more card.

I really am enjoying playing with my Bind-it-All. It is a fabby little gadget. Think I might be making a desk calendar using this same format - and before you say "it's already January", I know LOL but if I make it myself I can start on any month I like and continue it into 2009..............

357 days...

...to Christmas LOL

Okay, so I chickened out - noticed the countdown on my Christmas tree over on the RHS had started to countdown again. As I'm still not sure how I managed to load it in the first place I've just moved it to the bottom and it can merrily countaway the days.....
