Sooooo Busy

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. It has been so manic. The Wizard of Oz show went very well, after a complete disaster with Emerald City. It was the last showing last night and they all done very well. I wasn't going to stay so had rushed out the door as you do and at the end of the performance they called me up to give me card to say thanks for all the work I had done. I was so embarrassed. I hadn't even brushed my hair and when I got to the front I tripped over someones crutches. I'm sure these things only ever happen to me.

I can only post pictures when I'm on Andy's comp. so will try to upload pictures tonight or tomorrow. I am on duty at the Police Station tonight until 9pm though.

All the new High Hopes stamps have been loaded on to the website and are selling fast, so if you are wanting some, you better be quick.

I do have some Sarah Kay stamps on their way but they seem to be taking forever. I also have CC designs coming and some of the new Missy B. I won't give any dates as they always seem to go out the window. I have been adding more blooms to the website today so go take a look.

I think we are taking the children to Farnborough Air Show on Sunday so I won't ba able to add anything then. I have such a busy week next week as it's the last three days of school (yay). My youngest son's teacher is leaving and they are having a surprise party, so I need to make a cake for that (let's hope he doesn't read my blog) and Jordan (DS2) wants to take a cake in on Wednesday for after their leavers assembly. I have a stack load of thank you teacher cards to make for people up at the school so will have to do those tomorrow. Phew. Hopefully I'll be so busy I won't have time to think about eating. I put on 2 pound and haven't managed to shift it this week. Oh well.

Have a lovely weekend.

As promised

Here is a picture of the cheesecake that I made. Cherry Swirl Cheesecake, yum, yum.

My sister came over from Lanzarote and my mum had us all round for a meal and this is what I made.

Wish I had a slice right now.

For Denise

This is a picture of the card I made using the Papermania male themed papers. I will try and upload the others tomorrow.

This was made for a friends brother.

New High Hopes are released

Well today is the release day for the new High Hopes rubber stamps. I love them, especially the pirate ones. I have an order of them coming next Friday (fingers crossed). All the ones I have coming, I have uploaded onto the website for you to see. They are all showing out of stock until I get them. If however you would like to guarantee one, just email me with the info and I can keep it for you.

I have also been adding Prima flowers. I was going to add a few more this evening but I really cannot keep my eyes open so am off to bed and will start again tomorrow.

I have made a few cards and still have a picture of the cherry cheesecake that I made but for some reason cannot upload pictures this evening.

My diet news is that so far I have lost 8lbs. Woohoo. Clothes are now feeling a little better. I cannot take all the credit though as I was ill for a few days and didn't feel like eating, let's hope it doesn't go back on. I did have fish and chips this evening though but have vowed never to have it again. I couldn't believe how greasy it was. I hadn't noticed that before.

I have finished building my Emerald City at school and am now making some poppy fields and signs. Will upload photos next week.

My middle son had his taster day at senior school on Tuesday which wasn't too great and then I had to go in the evening and nearly fainted. My hands tingled and everything. (This isn't unlike me) It took so much out of me and I felt so lethargic the next day.

Well that's all my news for this week. Hope you all have a good weekend.

At Last They Are Uploaded

All my new High Hopes Rubber stamps have now been loaded. Go take a look. I want them all.

Just to let you know I also have the lovely new Sarah Kay rubber stamps on their way to me for sometime next week.

I've also ordered some of the lovely new Rachael Anne Miller but I think they are due for release sometime in July.

Well it's taken nearly three hours to upload all of those and I am now off to bed (sad for a Friday night I know), but still not feeling right although a lot better than I was.

Anna if your reading this (I know you check everyones blogs regularly) I will contact you over the weekend.

High Hopes are Here

I have had delivery of more High Hopes and will start uploading them this evening. I must feed the children first though. They will all be added by the end of the evening. Tomorrow I will be going away so orders may not be posted until Monday, sorry.

I'm back

Well I haven't been anywhere at all (I wish) but I'm back blogging. Sorry but I have been so ill this week. It has completely knocked me out.

Here are a few cards that I have been asked to make:
This was a card I made for my friends son who has decided he does not want to eat chicken anymore as he thinks they are cool. Chickens are from Pink Cat Studio Farm Animal set as is the celebrate and the chicken wire is from the Farm background stamps. All available at Diestodiefor

This was made for a lady at the school. Not really my kind of card. It was what I already had made from a long time ago but that is the one she preferred. Stamped baby feet (sorry cannot remember where from) with a little bit of baby ribbon behind.

This was also for a lady at the school. She wanted two ruby anniversary cards. One with a pig on as the people used to have a farm with pigs and chickens, so once again the PCS animal stamps came in very handy. Cuttlebugged the middle square and added a bit of bling in each corner. She also wanted more of a traditional one for her sister to give them so made the one below. Similar to a birthday card a made not that long ago but I needed quick and simple.

Andy hasn't been here either so what with looking after the three boys, a rabbit, a dog, a snake (and many other animals), running the website, making props for The Wizard of Oz and all the normal household things that we mums do, I must admit to being a bit shattered.

Anyway last week I lost a pound, not much at all and I was a bit disappointed but being ill this week has helped me out on that front as I have lost 3 pounds already. I'm sure it will all go back on once I start eating properly again. At least my clothes are feeling a bit better now (another insentive).

Good News

I have some High Hopes being delivered tomorrow. Depending on what time they are delivered I will try and get them on the website tomorrow as I might just decide to go away for the weekend.

I have had a small delivery of Prima flowers. These are so hard to get hold of but at least I have some. I added a few today and will add the rest tomorrow.

I have so many things in the pipeline but these are now a little behind as I have been ill but I promise not to keep you waiting too long.

Off to bed now (sad I know at 8pm) but I'm hoping it will make me feel better tomorrow. I have a huge to do list.
