Happy Happy Happy!

whoo hoo!! She's coming home...

Hello Everyone....

"My Lady" is coming home..today...this afternoon..I'm so happy....AND, the hospital has decided she needs 3 times a day caring, and guess who is doing it...ME!!!

Finally I will get her to eat properly...she is getting meals on wheels delivered, and I can divide it for her and makes sure she eats it.

I am going to shuffle clients [well already have basically] around and go there every lunchtime and have my sandwhich while she eats her lunch...

How wonderful is that....so I made a card after I heard the news, and this is not the one I was going to put up...this one is symbolic of how I feel today....



Coloured this time with copics, and a bit rough around the edges, but I was so excited and pencils take too long, wanted to catch the evening light to photograph...and blaa...blaa...blaa...

This is Nellie on a bicycle  a freebie from Beccy's place....



And this is how I feel, this is how I will fly to work today, and look forward to later this afternoon, when I can go see 'My Lady'.....flying high on my bicylce...[except I dont really ride a bike...tried once and they say you never forget...but they lied]



Backing spot paper 'country Basics and the scene paper was a freebie form papercraft downloads....added a wodden ladybug and some tiny butterflies...and then forgot to add the sentiment...which says..."So glad you are home" have since stuck it on.

So there is me today, and thank you all so much for your well wishes for her and listening to me having my 'sorry for myself 'moments...now I have so many hours to do, I will probably start moaning all over again...lol..naaa...very happy to do whatever they throw at me.

And I do realise time is ticking for her, but I will be happy to know that she will now be taken care of properly and maybe stay with us a little longer...

So will head off now and shine my bike...and go see everyone else on my list and wait for 4.45pm to come...

Thanks for stopping by, hope you can all find something to make you feel as great as I do...take care..

Tilda with Flowers

Hello Everyone...

Wednesday morning, and having a late start, as 'My Lady' wont be home for the rest of the week...so sad.
I'm actually worrying now, as I have the feeling she wont be coming home at all..

The ladies at work are trying to find me some temp work to keep the income up there, so thats really nice...just till we know whats going on...

So I have made a card to share and for a challenge today....


Tilda with armful of tulips...coloured with pencils and glitter added for sparkle.



A close up of image.....



And...the side view...and all those gorgeous WOC flowers, first time I think, I have used the big roses..and check out the pretty papers....wrapping paper...yep!...99cents a sheet, too pretty to leave on the shelf..

Going to enter this card at the Totally Tilda Challenge  [tilda must be holding flowers] 

Rightio, time to do something else...can you tell I'm lost...lol...ready early as always and no where to go till 9.15am..all ready vaccumed my place and dusted last night...[sigh]...going on a course at 1.30pm for work...they make me nervous,  as I may get bored and drop off...thank goodness it is only for an hour..

Take care all....enjoy your sunshine if you have it, and thank you so much for all your lovely comments you leave me.....

Fluttering along

Hello Everyone,

"My lady" is still not home, as she is still having tests...they say there is something wrong with her, but do not know what!!!...I would say old age and too damn tired now to be bothered living...but will go out this afternoon and see her...she will be in hospital for the rest of this week...

Have a card to share today for a challenge at Flutter by Wednesdays  



The bird house image was a freebie from Anne Fenton...and I stamped the little birds on from my "Summer Fairies collection - Pergamano stamp set, and the grass and daisies were a stamp from "Country Companions"...

"Cheery Lyn" flourish die...and papers from Prima,"sparkling spring"...



Sponged my sky using my template and added mummy butterfly and her babies following, they also covered and ink smudge...lol..



And a siide view...

Had the boys stay last night as Mum & Dad were leaving very early in the morning and it just made sense...they are such good boys..
 The only problem is they take over my computer...to check their "Moshi Monsters"...dont ask, it is all beyond me...

So it is my turn on the PC tonight, and will catch you all up then....

Little Mouse - MIM

Hello Everyone,

Well that weekend is over..it was actually quite a long one for some reason, and I got a few things accomplished that I didn't think I would have time to do...did some real tricky colouring, used a few choice words, made up some cards,and releaxed...me relaxed...that was the scary bit...I better be careful, I could get used to that..lol....

Well my friends back to today..,and of course it is MAKE IT MONDAY TIME 

And this week we are being sponsored by................





They are offering a [$10 gift voucher] to the chosen random commenter this week.



For my card I used the wee mouse from "Country Companions"the set that a received free from the magazine.



Oh! so cute...love the size of these stamps,I can see what I'm colouring, and I used my pencils to colour.,,,copics for dots around the image...



Paper pieced his jumper......



And the papers behind image from "Linen Closet"..ribbons and lace from my stash, and added lots of buttons and they don't all match.. but thats ok.

Sentiment from a clear set that I have, then put it away before writing it down...inside decorated too, and put the stripes going the wrong way , but thats ok too..really handmade..lol

Now the torture begins...picking my favourite...such a headache as there was so many gorgeous projects...but this one stayed in [my minds eye]...so there was my final decision.

#57 Hazel  a great way to recycle..fabulous image and male card..I really like this one...



Great card Hazel...

So there we go, lets get those cards and projects linked up for another great week...back link if you want to thats ok...have a fabulous week, will see you tomorrow...

Hoppy Easter from Barry

Hello Everyone,

I have been a bit down the last few days as 'My Lady' has been taken to hospital, and I feel a bit lost.

She is fine, though, they have been doing lots of tests and are keeping her a further few days, and hopefully I will have her at home on Monday.
Her heart is good, but she has trouble taking a deep breath...[.94 yrs old...I would have trouble standing..lol..]
So tomorrow [Saturday] will be the first day I have not had to go to work in 3 years...apart from when I went away, of course, but this time I dont have to take my PJ's off,  can just sit if I want to..in my jim jams.... all day....doing nothing....but that would be highly unlikely...I'll go to the hospital and see her, then might go and do her gardens so they are nice when she comes home..


                                                   HOPPY EASTER

Is my theme for this weeks STAMPFAIRY  new release .....



Dear little BARRY BUNNY   what a cutie...



Coloured with pencils, copics shading and grass, and PC sentiment...lots of blings and glitter on his eggs.....



Yup!!!...stuck the front on the wrong way..lol..but fixed real quick by changing the inside panel..phew..saved...a few flowers and buttons...project complete.

Gorgeous papers from Prima [Sparkling Spring]



So there you go, another gorgeous new collection of Easter delights...a little freebie bunny this time, on the bottom right corner...

Thanks for stopping by and all your wonderful comments you leave...

One of my followers have gone AWOL...hope they come back soon....
and the rain has stopped... the sun came back out...and so did the heat!!!

Happy Anniversary

                       A tumbling, a tumbling,a tumbling down.....
                       the rains are a tumbling down.....................


Hello Everyone from my soggy city.....

Have we had some rain... or have we had some rain...I managed to get soaked 8 times yesterday, then worked all wet and then got steamy...nice!!!

When the day was over, after picking up kids and dropping off after school...wet again...I had a nice soak in the tub, got all warm and dry, flopped on the couch for 5 mins??? the dog curled up next to me, and started watching a real old programme on TV... "Murder she Wrote"...and I was content and happy....looked at the clock and thought..."wow! that time went fast, it is 4.45pm.....................................................................................................................................................
................................................................................................................................................................
OMG!!!! "MY LADY"....then with panic started running around in circles, picking up keys, tying my hair up, lost my shoes, pouring with rain, dog wants to come, car locked up in the garage, pouring with rain,found my shoes, and then just stood in the kitchen.....picked up the phone and rang her......she was wonderful...lucid, and laughing, and as far as she was concerned, I had been....not to worry, she was fine, and would get her own cup of tea, I was to just relax and she would sign my timesheet for me, as I rang her...so  didn't have to go out in the weather.

What a woman eh!!

Have a wedding Anniversary card and box to share today.



This is the card, no image just used a sentiment and pretty papers, from Kaisercraft "Garden Arabesque"..and flowers that I made myself with a Marianne Creatables die...their favourite colour, purple...



Sentiment PC generated....and MS leaves with half  pearls...



Lid of the box...with more [me] flowers and WOC roses....the beautiful butterfly is from "Jenni B Collection"  silver metal, 6 in a pack...



Box and card together.......and some swirls...



And the last one....as I went to the trouble of adding my watermark you got the whole lot of the photos...lol..

I'm quite chuffed with this box and card, the lady who ordered it has not seen it yet, so cant wait to give it to her...

Thats me done, boys are here, another wet,wet, day...soggy feet, frizzy hair, but I'm finishing early today...2pm...and must not forget........

MY LADY AT 4.45...lol...

Thanks for all the lovely comments you leave me, and welcome to my new follower, thank you so much for joining me.......

Have a happy dry Day/evening, and trying so hard to send the rain to those needing it...my birdbath runneth over.....

More Easter gorgeousness

Hello Everyone...

FRIDAY   YAY!!!!...no more cleaning for 2 whole days...WRONG...I'm off to help my son on Saturday morning to sort out his girls clothing at his house, as they bring all sorts from their mothers and his stuff goes there, and now there is all sorts of sizes, and the younger one keeps putting on clothes that should have gone to charity months ago...so Nana to the rescue....no rest for the old shoulder that day...

Sunday...well the other bunch want family photos taken to be done on canvas...so holding a camera most the day wont rest it either..but, well...you do what you do...

Never mind today makes me happy as we have another new release from STAMPFAIRY 



BARRY EASTER 2 -1   all yellow and gorgeous....



Coloured with my pencils, glossy accents on his nose and red bow, and glitter...gotta have the glitter.



Papers from CraftCo..'.sunflower spots'..lace, ribbon, from my stash, and the lovely spring flowers from the $2 shop, which I pulled apart....and glued on my card...



Yummy Easter images and there is your freebie down in the bottom corner...lovely eggs...and I coloured them, glittered them,glossed them...and....lost them...They are supposed to be on the inside of my card, but have a sneaky suspicion they fell down behind my working cabnet.
