Have been busy making Christmas cards and other things for the festive holiday but can't put it on here as it would spoil the surprise for my family. I have just found out that there is a craft group that meets very close to me so I popped over there on Wednesday. There was a lovely bunch of ladies there and chocolate cake. I WILL be going back!!

Guess which team won the football on Sunday? Yes, our youngest sons football team finally won a game. First time in nearly 2 years!! All of the parents and team were so happy. Me and another mum had promised about a year ago that we would do a cheer leading dance if they ever won. We are now barred from supporting by our sons!!

Here is some pictures of the cards I made using the absolutely gorgeous stamps from Lavinia Stamps. The stamped images are really crisp. There are 3 in this set and cost £8.50. Well worth the money.

Don't know why the photo in the previous post is half pink. You can just make out the papers though. Sorry about that.

Last Saturday I had the most wonderful day with a friend of mine. She drove us to London and we spent the day at Alexandra Palace at the big scrapbooking and stamping show. What was even better was that some of my anarak buddies (The collective name given by my husband for the girls on the Just Bex craft forum) were there and we got to meet up and chat. Lovely Lythan whose blog I just adore was there but was only able to gossip for a few minutes as she was much more focused in her shopping. It is always lovely meeting people for real. Hi girls. The photos are of what I purchased. I did curb my spending a bit as I could be jobless very soon but it was made easier by there not being all the scrummy new papers that have been on the American market for a little while.

The flowers from Ikea. I am planning on pulling them off, bit by bit to use on cards.
