OK, I have hundreds of things I should be doing but I have spent the past few hours blog hopping. Over at Marias cards she has some lovely blog candy. http://http://mariascards.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

There is also a newish site that I haven't actually taken part in but like to have a look and see what everyone else is up to. http://http://2sketches4you.blogspot.com/

Right, I really need to go and do some housework or I could just put the kettle on and have a cuppa and another half hour browsing!!!

Here is a hanger to attach an art project to. I made it as part of a challenge. I was influenced by the wonderful creations on the sassy crafts blog site. http://http//www.sassy-crafts.blogspot.com/ My inspiration came from an entry on April 30th by Sian. I will add the name of the person who it belongs to on the peg but I don't know who I am giving it to yet.
I should of been sharing some wonderful pictures with you of our family day out on Saturday. However I, like thousands of other people were disappointed when the Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford was cancelled. As we hadn't planned anything else we just stayed at home and did some jobs around the house.

I'm hoping this will work. I found this link from someone elses blog and thought it would be a good site to play on. http://www.magmypic.com/

In May I showed you a photo of my family sorting out the garden by moving the play house. We still need to grass a small area where the play house was originally but apart from that it is now finished. The gravelled area was a small patch of earth and some pinky/red slabs. Looks much better now and we can actually use the space.

I'm such a proud mum. This is my son who was awarded players player at the football presentation evening on Sunday. Unfortunately my OH missed it as his work have sent him away AGAIN! However it did mean he didn't have to sit through hours of speeches.

As the weather was so horrible and wet yesterday, I hid in my craft room and got stuck into some of my new stuff that I got for my birthday last week. The last 2 pictures are using some Laura Ashley 6" papers.

I had said in a post that I had written in May that I would show you my new storage box for 12" papers. I bought it from Hobbycraft for about £18. Bit pricey but I do love it. At the back I have some 12" bags that contain papers in colour groups that I have used. The concertina box (I think it is Papermania) that I had used originally was difficult to use as it flops open. Some of the side seams have ripped because of this. I am now using that for all of my scrap bits.
