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

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
