Lili of the Valley Challenge.

CLASSIC CHRISTMAS

This week I took the opportunity to have a google around and look whats been going on it the world of craft and to share some of my new projects.

I wanted to take part in the Lili of the Valley Challenge for this week which involved making a card using a Christmas image.I hope you like it?

I used the Carol Singing stamp and coloured it using various sepia toned promarkers.The flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts .

 Something else I was working on is this altered frame. It was just a cheap frame from B&MS £2.99 then I just embelished it with Halloween papers from my stash . A simple and quick Halloween decoration.

Well thanks for satopping by, hope to see you all soon. xxx

Holiday Highlights

What a wonderful time we had on our recent holiday with the girls to Sharm El Shiekh, 

Sultan Garden Resort.

My husband ever the romantic treated us to champagne on the plane ,

a really nice touch and we got the chance to sit together and enjoy the trip.

We spent long days in the pool soaking up the rays and enjoying the all inclusive refreshmnets.

The weather was hitting 38/40 degrees every day , totally glorious.

We had fantastic time as a family , the girls were well behaved and it was a nice

rest before going into hospital for my surgery.

On tuesday 14th August I had a hysterectomy and am finding it very hard doing nothing.

I wish I was still lay on that sunbed soaking up the sun whilst recooperating...

Im feeling well and its still early days but Im hoping this will change my life for the best.

Fingers crossed. xx
