A very quick post!

Hello all.  Just a quick message to let you all know I haven’t dropped off the face of the planet!  I am so busy at the moment with our business committments and haven’t had time to even look at my craft desk never mind sit down and make anything!!  I am hoping to get on top of things a little more once Easter is over and be back into the swing of things.  It’s killing me not being able to create!!!

Ok, although I have no card to share, I just wanted to remind you all there is a new challenge over at Mo’s Digital Pencil today which is to use Pastel Colours.  Mo has released loads of new images lately (none of which I have had had time to play with yet!!) so please hop on over for a look.  Also, check out the current challenge at Passion For ProMarkers – we have been joined by two new DT members – Tracy and Emma – and they are both AWESOME! 

 I do have a little something to share with you all for today.  I made a load of little Easter and Mother’s day treats a few weeks ago for our school fundraising day and haven’t shown you any of them.  These are just some little treats using a mixture of PTI and Stampin Up stamps.  LOVE those Haribo strawbs!!

Right, we’re meant to be on our way to Anglesey right now and I haven’t even packed!!  Hope to see you all soon.

Hugs,

Passion For ProMarkers #44 – Spring theme but include an animal

Oh dear, this is me just getting round to posting my DT card for this week’s challenge over at Passion For ProMarkers!!  Sorry I’m late with it but I am literally burning the candle at both ends at the moment – I’ve never been so busy!!
Anyhoo, that’s dull so onto the challenge.  You can use any colours you like but it must have a spring theme and include an animal – easy peasy!! 

The DT have excelled themselves again this week so please pop over and have a go at the challenge.
Have a great day,

Some awards!!

I have been honoured in the last few days to have been nominated for some gorgeous blog awards and so thought I’d better get them posted and passed on!!  It’s always a nice feeling when someone shows how much they appreciate the things you do so to the ladies who gave me these awards – THANK YOU SO MUCH.

The Beautiful Blogger award has been passed to me by two awesomely creative and talented girls – Marina and Claudette.  The rules are that you have to pass it on to 15 bloggers who you have found recently and to share 7 facts about yourself (this is the bit I don’t like – I’m so dull).  So here goes:

1. I have a real thing for Vampires!!  Always have, always will!!
2. I didn’t get dressed today until lunchtime!
3. I have 5 kids but still get broody!
4. I am extremely indecisive (I think).
5. I love Great White Sharks!
6. I HATE shopping if it’s not anything to do with craft supplies.
7. Did I say I love Vampires??

The next two awards were also given to me by Marina and are ones I’ve never had before.

The Sweet Blog award asks you for 12 facts – I’m going to cheat and add five onto the seven I just listed above :

 
1. I am LAZY ( see above)
2. I found my first grey hair yesterday – I’m dying it next week!
3. I love to visit different countries – Canada is next on my to do list.
4. I hate nightclubs – I guess that goes along with number 2.
5. I don’t eat breakfast

The Sunshine Award asks you to pass it on to 6 people and link them and the awarder on your own blog so a nice easy one – phew, I’ve totally run out of things to say about myself!!

So now to pass these babies on.  I am going to pick 15 fantastic bloggers and pass ALL THREE of these awards on to them.  Most of them are ones I’ve discovered fairly recently but a few are some of my all time favourites.  So here goes:

2. Aimes (Crafting Confessions)
3. Susan (Simplicity)
4. Willow and Paisley
5. Paulina (Pretty Pink Posh)
6. Debbie (Country Heart and Home)
7. Kay (Robin Egg Ribbon)
8. Dawn (Aurora Dawn)
9. Taheera (Fill Your Paper With the Beathings of Your Heart)
10.Ingrid (Scarpbook Mania and More)
11.Ted (Happily Ever Crafter)
12.Melissa (Melissa’s paperie)
13.Meg (Vintage Pretties)
14.Lori (Smiling While Stamping)
15.Vanessa (Wings of a Butterfly)

Phew, that took a while!! 
Off to catch up on my work now – you’d think I had nothing to do!!
