Apologies for the extra long post but I really wanted you to see all the photos of my latest Album.

This Paper Bag Album has been made mainly using My Minds Eye papers and Embellishments from the Bloom & Grow and teh Wild Asparagus collections. I have used the Decoupage pad for many of the flowers but have also used paper punches to use up some of off cuts of paper and card around teh decouage flowers.... I also re punched some flowers for different shapes/sizes or leaves. Bloom and Grow rubbons, felt border, Brads, Buttons and Gems, plus a few additional embellishments from stash. I have used MME Bloom and Grow stamps and additional journal stamps by Cats Life Press.
I'm pleased to say that the Album is now with its new owner who I know really loves it.... it is another Trimmie.....so hopefully they will leave a comment ...

Nothing much happening today, so a bit of a boring message! I've been catching up with emails all day, but managed to make another card. Two in two days! not bad..... my mojo must be returning. It went walkabouts after I made the last Purse album. I've started 'gathering' bits to make the next one. That will be a christmas version.
I've been playing with some stamped images and watercolouring them... the best ones get made into cards
My Hobby Craft Vouchers arrived today. They sent them out really quick. Can't wait to spend them.
Also in the post I received a beautiful Die-Cut Fairy from Tracey. Its even better than the picture and so delicate. Its certainly making me want to put SCAL on my wish list! ...

After several months of moving house and serious surgery on my knee I have not been able to craft. But now I am getting better, I have more energy and have found some inspiration from the work of others. I hope to be more active on this site soon.

Hi all,

I have never done a Blog before so thought I would give it a go.Don't know what to write so sorry if I waffle on a bit.

I have had quite an enjoyable week this week not done anything particularly exciting but usurally I spend a couple of nights during the week at my OHs but last week my shower decidedd that it didn't want to play anymore and stoppeed working so I had to have the council come and sort it out. This meant to my OHs annoyance I could n't stop over the Tuesday night as I usurally do. But I have decided that it hasn't been that much of a disater it has been really nice going to my OHs for the evening knowing that I am coming home. I have been able to do things that I don't often have time to do like housework, my kitchen and bathroom were filthy hadn't been clenaed for months. I felt quite proud when I walked in tonight to find a nice clean kitchen and bathroom.

I realsed I love spending time with my OH but it is also nice to have a bit of me time. Unfortunetly...
