Church Craft Fair

My Church is trying to break away from the old style Church Fete, so decided to try a Craft Fair. Here are some of the things I made to donate to it, I am pleased to say everything I made sold and helped them raise an amazing £1300.....Fabulous

My first attempt at decorating candles and I had a ball with them, they were so easy to do.

Snowman soup

Trick or Treat bags

Assorted Calendars

Dressed Dolls

Baby Aran knit sets

So LUCKY to have friends like you !!!!!!!!

I always knew that I had the best friends anyone could ever want, however after being diagnosed with Breast Cancer, they suddenly became not just good friends, but, marvelous, super, supportive friends. No matter where I am, what tests I am going through or even when I am relaxing at home...I am so aware of the prayers, support and the tremendous wave of love I feel from these amazing women that I am so proud to call my friends.

I just wanted to post a pic of some of the cards and gifts that I have received not just from friends, but from people I know on a professional level through work or Girls Brigade. It is so encouraging to know that so many people wish only the best for you.

Friends are like Angels

Flowers and Cards

What can I say, she knows me so well, I dont drink often, but when I do, I love a sparkling wine with cranberry juice.

Gift Bag

I have loads of paper bags, supposedly for paperbag books, however I have never made one. So I decided to try gift bags, this is my first one, it is also my first attemp at colouring a stamped image....so I am quite pleased with it. I enjoyed making them...or perhaps I just enjoyed doing something crafty again....either way, I am going to make some more, will upload pics when they are done.

My First Crop

Well I went to my first crop today and I really liked it, the girls were lovely. I even managed to get some layouts done, 6 to be exact. I did 2 Disney LO's, 3 of the kids and one for my sisters album. So I am quite happy.

Bad Blogger

Well here we are at the last day of August and I have not posted anything here for ages, not that I have not been busy, because I have. I hope to have some things to share here very soon, I really must make more of an effort.

What was happening 10 years ago: Ten years ago, I had two children under 5 at home and was preparing for my DD to begin primary school. I had just agreed to join Girls Brigade...now how a simple decision can make such a huge change in your life:lol:
5 things to do today: Go to the gym, pay some cheques into the bank, food shopping, tons of housework and I want to make a special get well card for my big sis, who has been unwell for a while and the doc has only now realised she has had pnuemonia!!!!
Snacks I like: Jelly bean company Jelly beans, Chocolate, obviously LOL - especially Mint Aeros, Minstrels and Revels hmmmm and nachos and and and and I could go on for ever:lol
What would I do if I was a millionaire: Oh if I was a millionaire, I would buy a bigger house, somewhere where I could see the sea, but not in a coastal resort and it would have a designated craft room with big sunshine windows overlooking the beach and the sea. I would ensure my families mortgages were paid off and hopefully not let it change me
Places I have lived: I was born in Glasgow and then moved to Whitburn, however I worked in Devon for a while so had accomodation there..but I will always belong to Glasgow...just like the song says:lol:

I tag Tracie, Carolm, Kate T, Stacey and Amanda

Our Tara

This is a layout I have been wanting to do for a while, this was my mums little dog Tara. She is an adorable old bundle of love, she is the most pleasant natured little dog. I took this pic for one of the challenges in the last cyber crop on UKS. Its not the best pic, the colours are brighter IRL.
