Oh Dear

By
Yep - time has got away with me once again and here I am playing catch -up! I was all set to return home for a few days last week and I had loads of things planned but they all had to be cancelled at the last minute as my husband got called away to London to do some work - I have to let him sometimes as who would pay for all my crafting stash if he didn't!
All thing happen for a reason and in a way it was good I didn't go home as dad was moved from Newcross hospital across Wolverhampton to a rehabilitation hospital where he is now learning how to walk again and do all those things that you and I take for granted - just having a shave at the moment wears him out completely.
I also got to go the the Stampin' Up Regional Training day in Telford - I had loads of sneaky peaks of new products coming at the end of June plus other news and offers that I can share with you very soon.

For now though I will post some pics of my DT cards from the last week - the link to the challenges will be under each pic so do go over and see the other DT work too xx

    A wonderful selection of cards Jacqueline, you have been busy and your crafting mojo is at full tilt! You've done a fab job with the recipe and I love the red white and metallic gold colour combo of the poinsettias card!

    All good wishes for your dad's rehab. Ruth x

    You've shared a lovely assortment of cards here! I wouldn't have thought to make gray leaves with the CC&S colors, but they look terrific nestled among the flowers. The gold foil lends a very festive feel to the poinsettia card.

    I'm glad your dad is doing better, and I hope he continues to improve.

    I love your 52CCT card this week Jacqueline - poinsettias are my favourite Christmas flower. I particularly like how you've tied your bow - I must remember that for future projects :D Hope your dad goes from strength to strength. Take care, Gill xx

    Four beautiful cards, all with harmonious colour schemes and perfect detailed stamping. I particularly love the feathers on your MMM card and the waterfall on the nautical one. Marina

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making. Moving on This is where I usualy do all my 'messy' crafting hence all the Distress Inks and paints. However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
