I'm Back!!

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick post tonight to let you know that I am hoping to back with you this week.
I have been so busy with my decorating and then I went on holiday for a week to Tenerife from the 19th of March and just got back last night.

We have had a lovely holiday but the night before we went I spotted some midget gems and thought I would just have a couple. Not a good idea!! I had literally only just put them in my mouth when I found something hard - that's right, I had broken part of a tooth. Of course I couldn't go to the dentist so I have been quite lucky that the filling stayed in all through the holiday and now I will have to ring up on Monday for an appointment.

I know that this might seem like a silly thing to say but I would like as many people as possible to take a look at the picture below and then leave a comment telling me what their interpretation is of what it says on the bottle of suntan cream (and the box) In case you can't read it, it says "Tan Without Burning. Once a Day Sunfilter. Water-proof"

Please leave me a comment telling me what you think that means. I will tell you later in the week why. Please encourage your fellow bloggers to leave a comment, I am very interested to find out how you interpret these words.

Thank you for looking and I am hoping to find some time this week for cardmaking

Whiff of Joy Challenge

Back again - but only a quick post.

I started this card last week but have just not had the chance to finish it until today - I always seem to be last minute.

David finished the plastering on Saturday and I thought I would be getting round to papering by the end of this week - but nothing seems to have gone right and there seems to have been so much more to do that what I thought.

Because he slarted the plaster on the skirting boards I have had to spent ages preparing them and I now won't get round to undercoating until Thursday. We are going on holiday soon so I was hoping to have the decorating finished before then.

Anyway here is my card for the Whiff of Joy Challenge.

Hope you like it!! love eileen x

Julies Open House

Hi Everyone,
At last I have managed to find time to surf the internet.

Last Friday me and "our Kath" went over to Julies and had a lovely time.
We met Sharon, who looked very familiar but I don't know where I know her from.
Thanks Sharon for visiting my blog - I have had a quick shufty at yours but will have a proper look later this week.
I went back to our Kath's afterwards and stayed there as long as I could because my husband had said he was coming home to do some plastering. When I finally went home he had been doing preparation and had only just started mixing his first lot of plaster (at 3.30pm) so then I had to start and clean the bucket and mix more plaster and clean the bucket and mix more plaster etc. etc. I was really not in the mood for it after having a nice time at Julies.

Anyway this is the card that we made at Julies and I really love these Bella Bleu papers (don't know if I have spelt it correctly)

I don't think the photo does it justice but I have only just taken the photo tonight. Back again in a few minutes with another card.

Create4Fun Challenge

What a horrid day today.
I didn't get much sleep last night because my husband snores so loud that I am sure you can all hear him!!

I went for a walk this morning and it started raining. I was going to go out but then I couldn't be bothered.
Anyway I have been creative and made a card for the Create4Fun Challenge, which was a sketch.

I was rather pleased with the card till I realized that I had ommited to put a strip at the bottom, so I had to stick some ribbon on - but then I wasn't sure just where to put the bow. Anyway it doesn't look too bad does it?

Me and our Kath are off over to Julies Stampin Up open day tomorrow, so I am really looking forward to that. See you soon, Julie.
that's all for today,
back soon.
luv

Just Magnolia Challenge

Hi Everyone,
My next door neighbour works at the fire station and she says that they were all sent an email today saying that there was a severe weather warning for 12 o'clock tonight - so we will see whether or not we wake up to snow tomorrow morning.

I have been at my sister's today trying to help her to set up a blog - I don't think she has written anything much on it yet but I will give you the link and perhaps you might like to keep checking back.
It is called Plain & Simple

Here is my entry for the Just Magnolia Challenge - I must say there are some gorgeous cards on there.


That is all for tonight.
Thank you for looking

Love you much project

Sorry I did not get back to you yesterday with this project.

It is one that I got from Jenny Moors over at Stamping Moments.

I did not have the stamp set that she used so I used some digital images from Pink Petticoat but I think it works pretty well.

This is the front of the container - which holds 4 3x3 cards.

and here are the 4 cards.

tomorrow I will show you another one that I made which contains After Eights and you will then be able to see the inside (I forgot to take a photo of the inside of this one). Or you could hop over to Jenny's blog.

Back soon,

luv

eileen
