Merry Christmas...

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, drink eat and be merry hugs to you and your families 

Merry Christmas Everyone....

Thank You all for being apart of my blog it means the world to me that you take the time out of your busy lives to pop in and see what I've been upto.

This year has been a right whirlwind and its gone so quickly, Mum has had her cataract operation which has worked so well that the hospital have said that she has nearly 20 20 vision in her left eye now.  This has meant that Mum has started cross stitching again,  Mum started crossing stitching when she was a child and over the last 20 years has really got back into making wonderful pictures.  We never thought she'd be able to do cross stitching again after her stroke 2 years ago that's left her with right side weakness.  But now that her eye has been sorted she has given it ago and she's conquered it and is stitching again she's that happy with how well she's doing that she's asked for a new kit as her christmas present from me.  

Back in October we added Roxy to our family,  We've had pekingese's for over 20 years  but Roxy is our first pug and I don't think she will be are last...

This is Roxy (the one in the middle) before we brought her home with Mum and her brother Frank and sister Poppy

And this is Roxy at nearly 6 months old sporting her Christmas outfit lol, she has more pressy waiting for her than all of us.  Oh we so can't wait to get snow she hasn't experienced snow yet, she wasn't impressed when it went cold and we started to get frost in the mornings.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2015

Happy 80th Birthday Card...

It was Steve's Mum's 80th Birthday last Tuesday and I made her this card as she has found memories of family holidays in Cornwall.

Steve fell in love with this image when I showed it to him as he said that he can remember his Mum and Dad sitting on the beach just like this in the 1970's.

This image is from a Joanna Sheen CD called Nostalgia Collection I had the paper and the overlays from my scrapbooking digital kits.

CopyRight Logo Stamp...

New Kit Insomniac Collection - Sleepy Girl...

Well I downloaded this earlier and just couldn't wait to have a play I even knew the photo I wanted to use. Its one of my Mum asleep when she was about 4 months old.

Brand New Kit Called: Insomniac Collection on offer with 65% for a limited time http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Ins...ollection.html

I just Love, Love, Love these pencils...

Just had my first play with the Spectrum Noir Colouring Pencils and I love them they really do give a richer look to your colouring. I would just say the the solvent does smell so I am going to try an old trick of using lavender essential oil instead, see if that will work as I know this is what oil pastel users sometime use.

I'm really pleased with the skirt now works much better.

I am still not that happy with the dress but I know I have to leave it or I risk messing it up.
