Welcome Duncan

I’m sorry I’ve been such a bad blogger of late..
but with one thing after the other this week
I just never set foot in my craftroom to have a play.

The backache was a nightmare and it eventually went
but then I caught the flu of my Son..
which I then passed onto Cherise,
resulting in having her home most of the week!
We seem to be getting back into the swing of things again this weekend..
but I do want to say a great big thank you to
Elaine, Katy, Sonia, Di, Sam & Gayle for your concerns, advice, chats and text’s..
they really ment alot!.. loves ya.. mwah!

Don’t know if I’m back in full swing of this blogging malarky..
but hey, it’s a start!
Plus this probably is going to be a lengthy post as I’ve got alot to tell ya 🙂

NEW BABY

First up and the reason for my card today is a great big welcome to the world for baby DUNCAN

He is my Mum’s first Great Grandson, my sister’s first Grandson ..
so does that make me his Great Aunt?

I had to use my new SUGARNELLIE stamps,
the baby stamps are simply adorable and perfect!
There are 4 Baby stamps and they will be available at FUNKYKITS real soon.
The papers are MME Handsome and as the new Mum & Dad are not very into ‘cutesey’
I’ve made a scrapcard for them.

I have taken the latest FRIDAY SKETCHERS sketch and it is a lovely one by TANJA.

The theme over at CCT is ‘Snips, snails & puppy dog tails’
to make a card for a young boy..
well.. they don’t come any younger than new born 😉

BEAD CRAFT

It’s come to that time of the year again that SANTA is at our Garden Centre every weekend
and my girls are helping him out by being his elves and giving out the presents.

When Laurelle came home today..
all excited that she could pick a present out too! she was thrilled to find a bead kit and had to start straight away..
a couple of hours later and here are some results:

You are so clever… they are gorgeous sweetie!!!

GROOM EDWIN

When I was at the NEC Hobby Craft show I spend a good deal of my time at the Magnolia stand
.. as you might remember and they had a big box full of Mini magnolia’s.
There were a limited few of the Bride and Groom mini’s and as I’ve got such a addictive personality I just had to have them..
but Groom Edwin was not to be found.
John was making fun of me by saying that he couldn’t see me without my groom
so he promised to send one when they got back to sweden..
and true to his word I received the little beauty last week!
Thanks so much John & Barbro, Love ya right back! xx

I’d like to ask you what you would like to see in a Blog Candy.. you never know.. I might take you up on your ideas!!!
