The Journey........

Life is a journey with all its ups and downs for us all.  This card I made this week was for a special friend who has helped me lots recently.  She seems to know what to say and when to say it, I just hope I can be half as good as her when someone needs me......or else I can point them in the right direction!!

Journey of Life!

Add bling to your Journey - makes life a bit more sparkly!! :)
These are her favourite colours and thats her age on the tag!! Ha ha...  Hope your week is going well, thanks for stopping by. Xx

Don't Go!! Missing Ye Already...............

We are very sad that our lovely friends are leaving to set up home way away across the water..........how could they do this to us!! Well we had some tricks up our sleeves - didn't we girls.  We thought if we threw them this fabulous party they would just see how much we all love them and they just wouldn't have the heart to leave us all behind. Did it work..................

The 8x8 inch card for our friends
A close up of the card I made for them.
We will miss them but we hope that all will work out for them in their new home.  Here is the wonderful cake the Brownie Lady made aka Veronica!!

Hippos................

Good morning all, the sun is shining here cheering us up a bit, but the weather forecast is keeping it real for us!! More storms on the way, so enjoy the sun while you can, I suppose that depends on where you are!! Whats it like where you are?

Here's a project I did a while ago for a good friend of mine.  Can you guess her favourite animal I wonder?? I thought of it as it had yellow like Sunshine and the happy dance I was doing this morning when I saw the sun. Its a Journal I made her as a little gift when she came to visit. I wonder how she is getting on with it, maybe she'll let us know!! Here it is gift wrapped.....

Gift Wrapped!!

And here it is unwrapped!! :)

Sarah's Journal

Of course her favourite animal is a Hippo, I totally forgot I told you with the heading!!  Hope your having a good day. TTFN xx

I have some pre-made Journals for sale if you'd like to take a look, I'm uploading photos as we speak to the Shop tab at the top, thanks for stopping by!! ;)

Wot am I like...........

Well a young friend (12yrs old) of mine gave me a "Happy Anniversary" beautiful handmade card on Wednesday and said sorry its late!
From Chi Chi
I was confused and said your actually early........so she was surprised too but never said why she thought it was late.  Anyway the story goes on.......I was here yesterday......as you all know and a knock comes to the door....off I did trot to find a good friend a little bit older than the first with another gorgeous handmade card from her daughter and some delish homemade brownies (shes actually famous for her brownies), also apologising for a belated gift!!
From Jaz
I thought this is starting to become a habit and the brownies are FAMOUS remember - should I tell her its not my Anniversary?? Well I thought honesty is the best policy and of course I was delighted when she said I could still have the brownies anyway.......woo hoo.....BONUS!!

There were more but I couldn't wait to take a photo!!

What actually happened.........

I can't believe I did this, I had to go and check my messages to see what I had really texted......but my older brownie famous friend had texted a couple of weeks ago and said she had changed her phone and lost dates etc and asked when my Anniversary was..........I texted back  (and I DID cos remember I checked - shame)  Dec 31st..........NOT my Anniversary!!

So now I'll be waiting on the actual anniversary date for a knock at the door...........
