Basic grey-Archaic

I bought a 6X6 pad from Sassy Crafts (http://http//sassycrafts.co.uk/) who is a cyber buddy of mine. I thought I would try and see if I could make some different cards with them. I love the papers and was really pleased with how the cards turned out.

Sisters birthday

This is the card I sent to my sister for her birthday. For some reason I have put my address book in a safe place and couldn't find it so had to phone her. In my haste to post it off, I wrote the address, sealed the envelope and was just about to pop it into the mail when I realised I hadn't written it. Thankfully, I could get it open, write it and stick it back down with some tape. I am having more of these moments...is it my age?!!

Managed to complete the first and last items on my to do list straight away. The others have taken a bit longer or are still on the list waiting to have a line put through it!

Have made some lovely cards using my new basic grey papers. Photos to follow.

New on line shop

Just a quick post to tell you about a cyber friend of mine who has just set up her new on line shop. I have tried to put a link but I am obviously doing something wrong. When I get a few minutes I will try again. Anyway if you search for Sassy Crafts you should find it.

I am off work for the next 2 weeks so I am hoping to get a few projects finished.
Things to do:

• Eat chocolate. (That should always be on the top of your to do list and then you will always acheive at least one thing on it)!!
• Finish making shopping bags.
• Make small drawstring bags ready for the shoe box gift boxes in December.
• Make more cards.
• Paint wooden signs.
• Make wall hangings using up some of my vast amount of fabric.
• Go to Bath and restock on fabric!!

Just thought I would add a few lines to update my blog. Mum has just sent me some new tape runner refills as my local craft shop has stopped stocking them (and has gone for some that are more expensive)! She got them from Tragos in Falmouth. The place is being tarted up and the craft section has expanded. Dad is very worried that if I go and visit them and pop in there, they will never see me again.

I have spent the morning doing my favourite thing if I am not actually doing anything crafty myself which is blog hopping. I love this site, http://craftystorage.blogspot.com/. There are loads of wonderful photos and links to other peoples blogs which link to other blogs etc... Anyway, it has given my some more ideas to make my little creative space more practical whilst still looking pretty.

These are the photos of what my darling husband arrived back from the States with for me. Life has been so busy for us that I haven't had a proper play with anything though the 2 magazines are very well read. We have just finished (about 10 minutes ago) decorating the kitchen. Looks gorgeous. I have de-cluttered and the pale green really makes it light and airy. Hope everyone had a very enjoyable Easter. I have to say thank you to our eldest son for phoning yesterday (very early) to say he had snow. Just a big kid at heart!
