Good Morning...

Hope you are all well and ready for the weekend.

My little alarm clock didn't wake me...normally my bladder is bursting by 5am - she must have thought mummy need a little sleep in.  I visited a friend on Tuesday who had a little girl 5 weeks ago...I was looking at her thinking OMG I'm going to have one of these in 12 weeks!! Lol ;-)

''Feeling The Blues''

So we'd love to see blue as your main colour.

The prize for one lucky winner is a £10 voucher (exc p&p) to spend at Crafty Emma's Store.

For my card I have used the adorable ''Polly'' from DigiStamp Boutique together with the new Fizzy Moon Festive Fun papers.  They are available over at Crafty Emma's Store together with the Creative Flatback snowflakes, Promarkers and Dew Drops.

If you pop over check out the sale too...some fabulous bargains to be had!!

CES Challenge #46...

Good Morning...

Hope you are all well and had a good week.  Thankfully it looks like a rain free weekend here in East Yorkshire so I might find a little energy to do some gardening....or maybe it will be feet up and sat on the sofa knitting!! I've actually managed some housework yesterday and that's not normal!!! Lol

I've been feeling 100% better after getting a couple of decent nights sleep...unlike the poor guy on my card.

Got to keep an eye on my little puddy cat, poor Malibu isn't very well...old age getting the better of her I think but she doesn't do too bad for 18 years old.

Knitting & Milly...

Good Evening...

Hope you are all well and having a lovely Thursday. 

Huge thanks as always for the lovely comments, I am still feeling pretty rough today after only managing about an hours sleep last night.  Went for a cat nap at lunchtime and woke again at 4pm so have caught up on a few hours...still half asleep when I made a mad dash to the post office to catch the post!!

I've finally stitched a cardigan together that I finished knitting the other week, half way through another one too...passes the time in the wee hours together with a bit of crafting.

I'm loving the LOTV stamps at the moment and had another little spend last night...so looking forward to their Christmas release on Monday.

This one is Milly Just For You together with Prima Melody papers.  Available from Crafty Emma's Store along with the various flowers, petals, ribbon, buttons, divine twine, pearls and new Craftwork Cards sentiments.
