Back again

It's been too long.

I had an extra day off this week and got some crafting in. My DD is away at Uni. She's not too far away but she's busy with school and work and we're busy with work so we don't see one another as much as I would like. We chat and text quite a bit. She loves squirrels so I thought I'd make her a card to say hi. I pulled out my new Sizzix card design die.

 

 I'm going to write my sentient in the blank spot at the bottom.

Here's another card I did - a fun one.

Card Making

I actually pulled out my card making supplies and made a couple of cards. I've got away from it in the last months. Seems like I can barely keep my head ahead above water with work and home. I really need to take some more me time. Part of the problem - I think - is that I don't have a specific place to craft so it means pulling everything out, getting started and then putting everything away again when I'm done.  Makes for a lot of sorting out and crafting minimal time and then putting things away again.

One day I will have that craft room!

More cards and Handmade Monday

I found this wonderful blog a while ago called Handmade Harbour and it has a wonderful day called Handmade Monday.  As I actually finished things this week I thought I'd join in the party - it looks like fun!

I made a couple more Christmas cards - it is October afterall lol.  I had fun making these.

Happy Birthday to ME!

Yes, it's my birthday today.  I turn 43.  Yikes. 

Spending a lazy morning at home and this afternoon will go over to Mother-in-laws for a little get together.  Had a bad foot day yesterday so trying to take it easy today.  Think I overdid it out and about with daughter.

Got some Amazon GCs - have loads of books I want for my Kindle so will now be able to shop :)

Daughter made me a cake from scratch.  She was up until 2am last night and got up at 6 this morning to finish it!  I'll take a pic later and post. 

It is also (tomorrow) the birthday of my hubby's Great Aunt.  She turns 96 (or 97).  What do you get someone who has everything?  Not sure.  Anyway I made her a card.  She loves cats.
