Christmas Organiser

My friend Paula made one of these and what can I say, hers was so gorgeous I just had to have one...I am hoping as I am now working full time that it will keep me on track with the things that I need to do for Christmas..in the hope of keeping it stress free..however even if it does'nt I had fun making it.




These are pics of my front cover, dividers and my recipe cards

Halloween Cuties

Just a fun little LO of my DD and DS when they were little....they cant believe I have used these pics..:lol:

Just the 2 of Us

Where has the last month gone

I can hardly believe that it is almost a month since I last posted anything on here. Now it is not because I have not been busy, because I have...but I guess I just got fed up taking pictures of cards..now dont get me wrong they were fab cards, even if I say so myself :lol: but I have now made over 100 Christmas cards and even I would be hard pushed to appreciate pics of that many.

I did make some cards and bags for my window display, so I thought that I would let you see it..as I am going to clear it all away and do a Christmas display.

This is a pic of a card I made for my friend..her daughter was turning 21 had fun with this one.

Christmas Candles

I have just got some fabulous sticky backed fabric in at the shop, so I decided to have a little play with it..I still had some little candles left from last year, so I decided to decorate them..my customers love them.

A Gift for a friend


I have a friend who is having a bad time at the moment, unfortunately there is nothing I can do to help other than listen to the problems and be there for her. However I decided to make this for her to hang in her craft area, so that she can see it when she is working and hopefully it will remind her that she is loved and that help is there for her.

I have posted the verse below the picture if anyone wants to know what it says.

In the centre of the flame
There is a hollow place
And nothing can burn
In this sheltered space.
For the fire builds a wall
Scientific fact claims
And insures a safe area
In the midst of the flames.
And in the hurricane’s fury
There’s a centre of peace
Where the winds of destruction
Suddenly cease.
And this same truth prevails
In life’s tribulations
There’s an island of calm
In the soul’s meditations:
A place that is quiet
Where we’re shielded from harms
Secure in the haven
Of a kinds Father’s arms,
Where the hot flames of anger
Have no power to sear,
And the high winds of hatred
And violence and fear,
Lose all the wrath
As their savage course,
Is softly subdued
As faith weakens force.
So when the fires of life
Burn deep in your heart,
And the winds of destruction
Seem to tear you apart,
Remember God loves you
And want to protect you,
So seek a small haven
And be guided by prayer
To the place of protection
Within God’s loving care.
