Miss You Mum xx

It's been six years since you passed away
And I love & miss you more everyday
I'd give everything I own to spend one more moment with you

My love for you is so deep and true

As a mum and a friend you were the best
And I think of you with every beat of my chest
You will live on forever in my heart and mind
Cos you are my mum and you're one of a kind!

With all my love
for always & forever
Debbie

Holiday + Mr M = ill

Why is it whenever Mr Maisie has a week off from work he gets ill? I thought we would have a lovely week together leading up to my birthday, getting out and about or chilling with a nice film or something but no, he's full of cold! It's not quite man flu at the moment but it's not far from it, so today and tomoz is chill out time so he can hopefully get over it and we can start his holiday on Monday (fingers crossed!).

I've kicked him to bed for an hour and now I don't know what to do with my self, do I get crafty or do I tidy my stash (it is in a bit of a mess)? Hmmmm I wonder which will win?...

Toodles xx

Back in the swing of things

I made it to craft class last night!!! I was a bit hmmm on whether to go or not in the hours leading up to the class but in the end I thought sod it, if I'm not well when I'm there I can go back home! I was a bit :oS the first hour or so but the tutor, my craft buddy J & the rest of the gang soon brought me round (thank you xx), and I'm so glad I went cos look what we made...

I just need to add some brads and stick this one together.

I don't have a great deal of confidence when stamping, I'm OK when it's on paper that's to be cut out but when it's on the main body of the card I panic a bit and usually mess it up but I was really happy with my stamping on these, I didn't mess things up, yay! And I just love the flowery stamp on the bird card, I think it's tweet!

Time was running short so the tutor got me a kit together for the last project so I could put it together at home, can you guess what it's going to be?

Answers on a post card to... lol

TTFN & have a fab weekend xx

Feeling much better :o)

Feeling much better now thank goodness! Started to pick up a bit Wednesday night and now feel back to normal, well normal for me lol!

I learnt this week not to make cards when you don't feel 100%, the valentine I made for Mr Maisie didn't turn out quite how I wanted it to, I liked the card but I thought it was too pink and girly...

So I had a go at another one, 18 red roses, 1 for each year we have been together (all together now awwwww lol)

Neither were what I really wanted to give him cos he has been so sweet to me while I have been under the weather so I had a bash at something else...

... a chicken, leak & ham pie! I was so pleased it turned out OK, no splits or breaking up and no, I repeat no burnt bits!!!! I'm happy to say Mr M loved it too, as well as both his cards!

The last of my February cards was a birthday card for my sister in law, I made this on Wednesday when I started to feel a bit better, I deffo think you can tell the difference...

So that's it, the last of my February home made makes, I'll upload my lovely craft class creations tomoz!

Ciao for now! xx 

Hanging in there, just...

Still feeling under the weather here :o( Not as bad as I was so I suppose that's something! So fed up but I hope to be back to my radiant self very soon!

Oh and Happy Valentines Day!!! I hope your all having a wonderful time with lots of lovely cards, flowers and chocolates xx

Fed up!

The bath and the caffeine hit didn't work :o(
Not only do I still feel like poo, I'm fed up cos I'm missing my craft class! I was so looking forward to it as well, more than normal actually as I haven't been out of the house since Saturday!

Fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up fed up...

Feel like poo :o(

Yesterday and today I have felt like poo! Dunno whats up with me and I can't seem to shake it off. I've had a nice bath to try and liven my self up a bit and now I'm having a large class of Pepsi max to see it a caffeine hit will sort me out, I really hope it does cos it's craft class tonight and I really want to go but I don't want to go feeling like this :o(

Get well soon me!

Hmmm...

Well I've been looking on the internet for valentine inspiration since my last post and I've found nothing, zilch, nada, nowt!

Gonna break for tea and get my thinking cap on, please send valentines vibes my way!!!

Busy as a busy thing!

February is turning out to be a busy card making month! I've made 6 birthday cards already and I still have (goes to check calendar) 1 birthday and a valentines card to make! Good job I don't have to make a card for my own birthday as well (25th Feb - hint hint! lol).

Here's what I've been up to...

This one was for Carolyn, she's a member of the Thursday night craft class.

I made this one first for Carolyn but I thought it was a bit old for her.

  

I made this one for my friend Louise.

This one is for my nephew-in-law Lee, it's his bday tomoz...

... and this one is for my dad to give Lee.

It's my friend Julie's birthday tomorrow as well :o)

Hmmm, not as happy with the pictures as I normally am, don't know what I've done any different ... :o(

Anyway, suppose I best get cracking now on the next two now,
Toodles! xx

Sorry!

OK I may have been a bit harsh with my comments about Papercraft Inspirations (issue 96), I had another look at it last night and there a good few cards worth a second look! The free papers are lovely, I just wish they were on better quality paper.

So to Papercraft Inspirations...
