It's raining

Well looks like today is a wash out ,never mind have been saying for past few weeks we really need rain so cant grumble ( but i will ) . It's the start of another week isnt the year flying by we should all be starting our christmas cards soon , but as crafters we wont and will have a mad panic the week before. Nothing much planned for today apart from next terms planning for Rainbows and tackling the dreaded Gift Aid (oh how i hate doing that) Have a really good day happy crafting

Ho hum weekend again

ho hum weekend again Well got to say first week back at school passed really quickly. How come when kids at school you have to drag them out of bed, not happy enjoyed a nice bottle of wine in hope of a sleep in only to hear the sweet voice of a 5yr old outside my bedroom door at 6.45am arghh. But did manage to make a few cards last night before the wine kicked in. I really need to get myself a system when making cards one that consists of me making very little mess. I always start off with good intentions but somehow it comes undone. The lounge always resembles a bomb site with paper, ribbons & brads all over the place and why cant i ever find the scissors even when i just put them down (in that safe place). I live in hope that one night whilst im sleeping the craft room fairies will come & build me my own little room one where i can make as much mess as i like. Here's the 3 cards made last night.

Back to school

woohoo its back to school, saying that got to admit i quite like the kids being at home no rushing about doing the school run. But the peace & quiet is nice, but with the dog running round the garden trying to chase the guinea pigs maybe kids at home is quieter lol. Rainbows were back after the easter break all hyped up and giddy with lots of stories to tell. I always come home with a headache but love doing it.
