A very good evening to all of you! It seems that life gets in the way of my blogging and crafting lately! I had very good plans to write about my travels and post a few posts about what I am doing and also send a few people long overdue ATCs, emails and my address for them to send me things ( Sandra from Stamping for pleasure and Janet from Fairy Thoughts) but all my plans came to a halt when my mom called saying she has some health problems and I had to rush over there (200 km away) to see her and sort her out! She is feeling better now so I am back home and working long hours - I will try to sort out everything and get back to normal but obviosly when you are at my age it isn't that easy to carry on when you have a bit of a shock!
Anyway I will get back to everybody and I will send off the ATCs tomorrow - they are all ready to be posted - just need to take them to the post office!
Next up - my desk - I had a rush job to make two cards for my daughter, she will be going to a christening of her friends little boy so she wanted a card to say thank you for the invitation and also a card for the christening so here is my desk after making them - a right mess.....
and here is what I made.... The card has a vintage baby photo - not the actual baby that will be christened!
I made the little envelope with my new envelope maker which is quite a practical little tool....very easy to make any size of envelope - big or small!
I hope to have some time on Sunday (Saturday I will be at my cousins 50th birthday party - another day when life takes over) and write about my latest adventures I will get to Sandra and Janet as I finish this post and hook up to the WOYWW central! Whaaaat????? You haven't heard of it! You must have! It has been going on for 4 YEARS!!!!! Well go over to Stamping Ground and Queen Julia will tell you all about it!!!
Ok then I am off deskhoping and emailing people - see you sooooon!
Lots of hugs to all of you

ReplyDeleteYes, life does tend to interfere with our hobby sometimes. I'm sorry to hear about your scare with your Mom and that you are working long hours. Take good care of yourself and don't fret about the blogging and stuff. We all understand.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your wonderful messy desk for the snoop, Dolores, the fantastic ATC, and the precious Christening cards! I have just purchased that envelope tool, but haven't used it yet.
Have a wonderful week and Happy WOYWWing! xxoo Darnell #61

Can you find anything on your desk LOL you have been busy. Good to hear your mum is OK
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that envelope maker before. I have a couple of templates I made so I use old book pages and old map books from charity shops.
Have a great weekend.
