The swaps received from my crafty friends.

Good Morning

 

I am a little late with this post but these are the swaps that I received from my crafty friends this month.  I was delighted with them as always!!

 

I will not be taking part this month for the first time since I joined the group but cannot wait to see what next months themes are and get my crafty hat back on.

Good Afternoon Crafty Friends

 

Did you find that short week long? Yeah me too, I was working Saturday this week and as I don't usually do weekends this feels like it should be Saturday today but its Sunday and the week is over.  None of what I just typed makes sense but I am sure you know what I mean.

 

I have not had any crafty time this week at all as I have been spending lots of time with my little sick ferret.  He was at the hospital in Kilmarnock on Thursday for his blood tests & x-ray.  Oliver has a slipped disc and so needs to be kept separate from the other ferrets and on complete cage rest so he is now in the house so we can keep him company and give him lots of attention.

This is little Oliver

It cheered me right up this week when the swaps arrived from my crafty friends.  As always they are just stunning.  Loads of crafty genius with techniques that I have not even thought of using.

This week I will be doing that wedding card I have been thinking about now for over a week, still no ideas though.  Think I need a boost to my crafty mojo.  I also have a couple of cards to do for a friend but they are kids cards and are proving to be a challenge as I am so used to doing cards for adults, will be great fun though.  Planning on doing a little paper mache or deco-patch maybe.

 

Well, enjoy the rest of your day and I hope the week ahead is good to you.

 

Happy Crafting,

Afternoon All

 

Well we have nearly almost made it to the end of another week. 

 

Remember it is Mothers Day on Sunday, a day that is set aside for us to say thank you to our Mum for all that she does for us through the year.  I am always very grateful but as we are all so busy with our lives, work etc it is good to have that one day which we know is a date in the diary to keep free.  In saying that I am completely unorganised as always and have still to make the cards!!

 

I had a lovely surprise from my postman yesterday just before I left for work, he delivered the crafty swaps from my crafty bunch of ladies.  They are fantastic as always and I am very happy to be able to share them with you all.

They are all just fab, aren't they?  The girls are just so talented and as you can see we all always have such different takes on the themes that we are given.  Its just so exciting waiting for the swaps to come through the post.

 

So I had better get myself off and make these Mothers Day cards then.......

 

Happy Crafting,
