Speedy speedy speedy!!

Hiya peoples,
Well, Today was spent clearing hard drive on sky+ and crafting for the school fair... No pics yet but I shall take some once I've made a few more items. Made 2 notebooks, a door hanger and I've started on an altered large playing card... It's nearly finished.. Not too sure whether I like it or not, it doesn't look that good yet - I'm hoping it'll improve lol!!

Had a great night at my Tarot and Tea tonight and after answering someone's question on what I'll be doing the rest of the week (college and crafting for the fair) I was asked to bring some of my work in to next class :o) It'll be great to see what they think of them :o)

Anyway, I shall bid you all good night and sweet dreams, take care xx

Great News :o)

Woo hoo!! I have great news to tell you guys!! Despite being busy with studying (or so I like to pretend to myself!!) I have booked a table at my daughter's school's upcoming school fair :o) The only downside is... I only have about a month to prepare!!! Yikes!!! So... Once I have the exam today I can sit down and get crafty and make lots and lots of goodies :o) I just hope I don't get crafters block!!! That so would not be good!

So... Today consists of college - I'm already here and killing time before my class at half 1. I've checked my mail so onto reading some blogs and catching up with you guys. Must admit I do not like their keyboard lol - Wentworth's so much easier to type on! This one is on it's way to becoming a typewriter!! Ok, so how many exclamation marks can I fit into one blog post?? I do apologise :oD

So anyway, onto the study bit... Catch up with you soon, big hugs xx

Sorry I've Been AWOL...

Hi guys, sorry I've not been around much, I would say it was because I've been studying a lot and also went about 10 days without Wentworth being here - but that kinda doesn't work as I've not been studying as much as I should be and I had access to the internet through Mike's computer so... I have no excuse really lol... :o)

But anyway, Wentworth is back and all healthy after his recent trip to the Dell helath spa. I didn;t half miss him, lol!! I did find myself reading more tho, I managed to finish Twlilight and I'm now onto Richard Hammond's autobio which is really interesting to read.

Craft wise: I'm getting closer to finishing the craft room :oD yey!! But still a lot to do to it. I've been a bust bumble today and have been making two gifts for the Youtube 100 subs giveaway. I think I drew the winners about 3 weeks ago but haven't had much chance until now to get them made - needless to say my fingers went purple with the shimmer spray lol!! I do hope they like their little packages... :o)

Speaking of packages, I wanna say a formal THANK YOU to Angela for her goodies :oD you're such a sweetheart babe :o) and her belated birthday card is amazing!! :o)

Ooh good news on my biology exam results - 2 'A*'s :o) yippeeeee!! I'm so proud of myself :oD just gotta study now for the next exam on Monday :-/ we did the practical this Monday and the questions will be regarding that and some general ones too... Scary!!! I'm at the stage where I can't wait to finish college so I can get stuck in deep with my crafting and get more makes up on my Folksy and maybe Etsy too..

Ooh went to a tarot and tea evening last Thursday (maybe Tuesday?) which I really enjoyed and am really looking forward to the next one :o) I've bought the Universal Waite deck so I can follow the teachings and readings better as the deck I bought about 14 years ago is a native american style so will be more difficult to follow... Until I'm fully confident with this deck first of course :o)

Anyway, just a quick catch up to say I'm still here :o) hopefully I'll be able to blog more frequently when I have less to think about lol!! I cannot wait lol :oD

Big hugs xx

Is Missing Wentworth!!!

Yes, my Wentworth baby is still not back :o( and to those "sane" people out there, lol, Wentworth is my laptop :o) he went to the Dell health spa about 10 days ago to make him feel all better as he was a bit under the weather and omg I miss him!! Using hubby's computer is sooo not fun - it's slow, not always available to use and it's stuck in one place!! I'm missing watching tubies (youtube videos) in bed lol.

Not been upto much craft wise as I'm still trying to sort the craft room out and have gotten a little closer to moving it into the bigger room :o) the metal bookcase thingy is now in it's new home :o) but still sooo much more to do!! Sigh, it'll get there eventually :o)

Ooh great news :o) I found where I can buy cinnamon flavoured sweets!!! :oD Yey!!

hugs xx

Long Time No Blog

Well, I've been awol for a bit... Bit of this bit of that got in the way. But I'm back and ready to show something which I've made :o) It's an 80th birthday card... Hope you like it... :o) I've also altered a wooden hanger for my Mum for mother's day but I'd forgotten to take pics lol, I'll have to do that the next time I'm down there...

New Folksy Makes :o) and zzzzzzzzzzz

Hiya :o) well today I haven't gotten much done as most of it was spent asleep in bed - my body just would not move. I had however made up for it the previous day when I got home from my exam - which was harder than the mocks :-/ and I made these two :o) I love the altered hot chocolate lid!! Thank you to Angie who sent me the lace, the cigarette card and the ribbon flower :o) I might just have to make you one on day too :o) I've put this one up on my Folksy but if it doesn't sell first time around then I shall keep it myself :-p hehe.

The second item I made was this post-it note holder - thank you again Angie for the brown ribbon which I tied on the book rings :o)

I hope you like them...

Take care everyone xx

RAK, Tim Holtz and Progress...

Firstly I'd like to thank Jan - http://www.amethyststarotwisdom.blogspot.com/ for a RAK she sent me!! I was so surprised and happy, I even got one of her fabulous tags :o) Thank youuuuu Jan!! :oD

And I also got a special package in the post too.... My Tim Holtz TSV!!!! Woo hoo!!! The video below shows my youtube vid I took when I opened them up :o) do you think I was excited?! Lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcIMO2Ef5tI

Ok, it was taking ages to load the video... Literally over an hour!! So I decided to just add the link above. It's not highlighted yet so I hope it works!! If all else fails, search for Wentworthsgal on youtube and you'll find it lol :o)


Woo hoo!! I can see the floor in the craft room now :oD yippeeeee!!! It's not near finished but at least I can get to my desk without needing mountaineering advice!! Things are slowly starting to take shape :o) I've still got loads of stuff to bring in from the old craft room - including the metal shelving unit and everything on the floor in front of it :-/ but one step at a time me thinks :o)

Ooh I bought a printer today so I can print off my pics for scrapping and also so I can print off digi stamps and background papers etc. Thank you Jan http://www.amethyststarotwisdom.blogspot.com/ she makes some gorgeous pieces of work using this type of source. The printer I got was just a cheap one. It's a Canon Pixma?? ip1900 I think. It was £25 from PC World online and it had free p&p - which I love!! It took ages for us to set up (well, I say us but I really mean Mike!!) and even longer to print out a decent image! In the end we realised that Windows didn't really like to print the images and we were getting really light pics coming through with no intensity... So... We tried using the software that came with it to print it off and BINGO!! Problem solved :o) The paper used won;t go to waste of course as I'll be using it to work on so I don't make my desk messy :o) I don;t have a proper craft mat and I like to use paper underneath when I'm colouring or stamping so I can test the colours out on the paper first :o)

Ok, I suppose I should go and tidy up some more... A few more tubies first tho perhaps :-p

Happy scrapping!! x
