Wendy

A lady a work absolutely LOVES Bon Jovi. I had already made a card for her via another friend. She got back from New York and missed her birthday as she was away then, So I made her this card which she loved. She told me lots when I gave it to her. I had watched a Artylicious programme on create and craft and was taught how to make this folded book/card. I was really pleased on how it turned out!

Debz birthday card

Debz birthday party was really good fun, loads and loads of food and I caught up with lots of friends. It was a shame it was raining but you wouldn't have known everyone inside in the hall chatting away.
I made her card as you can see and a little bag to place it in and a friend and I bought her a 'bind it all' so watch her blog for lots of minibooks when she gets back!

No Sneaky peeks!!!!

Well I would blog what I have been working on but a certain 'someone' might realise it was for them and I have not had time to finish the circle minibook yet but it is coming along! Hopefully I can share the item with you tomoroow afternoon! Have also had a bad back and last night could not move for quite a while :(
If anyone has any good ideas on how to mend it I would be very grateful. Debz I am hoping to rest it so I can jump on the bouncy castle tomorrow. That's if I am allowed on! ;)
Hope you are all well and have fun crafting!

Guildford

Well today I visited Guildford so decided to blog this instead of my unfinished circle minibook which needs some more embellishments. Guildford was fantastic we saw some really old places dating back to medieval times one being an undercroft and also a chapel with beautiful gardens. We also had a bit of lunch & shopping and then went onto the guildford museum and learnt a bit about Lewis Carroll who wrote 'Alice in Wonderland' I wanted lots of inspiration for my 'wonderlandish' garden.

Here are my parents preparing to go to the museum.

PANTS

Well I have been busy having a go at the minibook from ukscrappers set through Sultry Summer Stash Bash 08 by Annette yesterday. Thank you Annette I really enjoyed the challenge adn the instructions were so easy to follow.
I am even considering making a couple of square ones for christmas cards too.
I have loads of fun chosing colours and ribbons etc. Although the decorating will take a little longer so will post it tomorrow!
I had to laugh as I cut out all the papers (Now that's funky) to cover the minibook which happens to be a circle minibook as look what shapes I made!

Yse its a load of old pants!!!!lol






Any ideas on what I do with them now apart from pant cards???

Mum's birthday

It is my Mum's birthday today, don't worry mum I won't say how old!!!!

Andrew, My brother & I bought her a dog charm for her bracelet & my dad bought her the mobile phone charm. Mum had the bracelet from 19 yrs old and had her charms stolen a little after, so we are gradually replacing them over the years as you can see.
We are also going out to a restaurant to celebrate her birthday too. So I will let you know what she thinks?
