I have hardly done any Christmas Shopping and my Christmas Card makes are non-existent. Having had a lingering cold for nearly 2 weeks isn't helping either. Just as I think I am getting better it deteriorates again. <div><br></div><div>Friday night we went to see Imitation Game with Benedict Cumberbatch. The film is definitely worth watching. Saturday saw us zipping off to Wembley to watch the England v Slovenia match (via Westfield, Stratford for a quick tagine in the food court) which after the first boring half ended with a final good 3-1 result. A quick trip around the new Wembley Outlet shops and a browse around the Christmas Market ended with a trip to Costa before piling on the tube back home. A good day was had by all I think. </div><div><br></div><div>Here is a card I made a while back.

Thursday night we won our music quiz yet again. That is the third time in a row and this week we will get 15 points deducted from our score. Cannot see us making it a fourth time. <div><br></div><div>Friday we went to the cinema to see Interstellar. It was okay, but thought the ending ruined it. Not saying anymore in case you want to watch it. It was very long at around 3 hours. </div><div><br></div><div>Saturday evening the boys went to a Firework Display with my daughter. Unfortunately the heavens opened at the time they started and everyone ended up really wet. They did enjoy it though. </div><div><br></div><div>Sunday. Well that was the highlight of my year (except for my birthday). We went to see Billy Idol, he was a punk rocker back in the 70/80s. I have waited 36 years to see him and it was worth every minute. Cannot believe he is nearly 59. He had so much energy and from a distance looked the same as he ever did. Spikey blonde hair and leather.

I have managed to come back today to show you some more things I have made. We had a very busy weekend. We went to see The Fury and The Babadook at the cinema, also a karaoke night at the pub Saturday night and our friend did an impromptu gig at the pub last night so we went along to see him.

Been a while since I posted. I have been a bad blogger over the last few years but am going to try to blog more regularly from now onwards. <br /><br />Life keeps changing, but then again stays the same. My son passed his driving test a couple of weeks ago and bought himself a car. It is wonderful that he is now more independent and can spend more time with his mates. <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI31uZznDzpVWp-RKJGXrulVc8013q2nrAQf_UwblEGRyIfRl1lZR_12KAwJAPrWjOX46oUp9cLV30WLW4vzgjjwDfoSAIzPY3y1iTX3OW4H9XE92s_1PjmP8yCaPEaEJGHOhVeDfM_mg2/s288/iphone_photo.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI31uZznDzpVWp-RKJGXrulVc8013q2nrAQf_UwblEGRyIfRl1lZR_12KAwJAPrWjOX46oUp9cLV30WLW4vzgjjwDfoSAIzPY3y1iTX3OW4H9XE92s_1PjmP8yCaPEaEJGHOhVeDfM_mg2/s288/iphone_photo.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='280' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />I have also been busy card wise over the last couple of months, but have cased a lot of cards from Pinterest, so will be sharing over the next couple of days. <br /><br />It was my grandsons birthday on 9th October. He was 5 and here is the card I made for him. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWnszEQrKPr5nOLCiRAd_7b9NJiYkvSdIsPwpoMaKZhG9SZ1IkfxDkB0jLWrjWaZP9P5x-3b5GoBzdiWrkqyG-WTUJNDE6llLqELX0QTUZE5hNYjBBE4TofulABLmhL6oVOQG-zJ0Y9me4/s288/iphone_photo.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWnszEQrKPr5nOLCiRAd_7b9NJiYkvSdIsPwpoMaKZhG9SZ1IkfxDkB0jLWrjWaZP9P5x-3b5GoBzdiWrkqyG-WTUJNDE6llLqELX0QTUZE5hNYjBBE4TofulABLmhL6oVOQG-zJ0Y9me4/s288/iphone_photo.jpg' border='0' width='275' height='280' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />I am having a lazy day tonight before going out to the pub tonight with friends.

Hubby then started working from home and we decided we needed High Speed Fibre Optic. Against our better judgement we went back to BT UK with the cost per month at least 3 times that of Talk Talk. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;">Since being back with them our broadband has consistently dropped out, sometimes dropping out around 2.30pm in the afternoon and still not being back at 7am the next morning. Hubby has had to hotspot off my mobile phone just so he can work. Adding extra costs to our broadband. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;">BT UK sent several engineers around, for several weeks as the problem was never fixed, and eventually it was decided that the cables in our road were over 50 years old and they would be replaced as there was a fault on our line. They came one Thursday afternoon, dug the hole, then came back on Monday morning and filled it back in again. Someone from BT rang and said they had actually filled it in without doing anything about the cables by accident, as engineers had been unable to come out to do the work because of the rain. That was a week ago. Since then no one has been out to fix it, our broadband still consistently drops off and since Thursday we have had no phone line either.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;">My daughter has recently been in hospital, she has ITP and if she even knocks herself it is imperitive she get herself checked out as her blood count is low and she could have internal bleeding. As I am a Certified Emergency First Aider, I am always her first port of call, and we have had to top her mobile phone up for her so that she can call my mobile now as she cannot call my home phone. More expense. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;">Hubby tweeted about it this morning and BT got back to him saying an engineer is on his way to fix the fault. We haven't seen any BT engineer, but I dont expect they will be fixing our broadband.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;">What an expensive mistake it was for us to go back to BT UK. Please be warned. Will it ever be fixed? Who knows, but we have never been offered a refund or anything. Such a Comedy of Errors....</span><br />

Hubby said that we will be wanting a refund of our payments as we aren't even getting 1/4 of the speed we are paying for, by Wednesday we will have been without the phone for a week and they said that is something we will have to discuss with an Account Manager. Not so helpful.</span></span></span></span><br />

Today is the first day they have all gone back to school, but still things here are busy busy busy....... yesterday we went to see Thousand Foot Krutch, an awesome Christian Band, infact, I think they are the best Christian Band. Heavy Rock, just how I like it, but they have never visited the UK before, so I was so excited to see them when they finally did. Only took them 16 years, and we saw them in a small 500 people venue.<br />

Friday we are off to Wembley to watch the England Moldova football match with the boys. Lets hope it is a good one and the rain isn't too heavy. We have seats 5 rows from the pitch this time instead of upstairs so will get wet if it rains.<br />
<br />
I haven't really been crafting lately either, I have still been buying stash though and will one day break it open and use it. At the moment I am working on a Birthday Card for someone and a little tag book for my son to keep track of the pocket money he earns. Today I am just too worn out to do anything though. That will teach me to leap around dancing, jumping etc at my age at gigs.... lol<br />

This is the card I made for my grand daughters birthday, she loves Disney and pink so I hope she liked it. She is only 2 though so not sure she has so much of an opinion at the moment. lol<br />

Hope to make this blogging lark a more regular thing now the boys have gone back to school. See you all soon.... xx<br />

Well something except for crafting. I just haven't had time. But I did make a couple of things which I will show you.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pink Flamingo</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
It was hubby's birthday a few weeks ago, here is the card I made him. A little bit strange for a man you may think, but we kept seeing pink flamingos in St James Park in London and it amused everyone, so voila, a card for everyone's amusement. It did go down well. We are definately a strange lot in my household. The flamingo was a file from Silhouette Studio shop and all the cardstock was from Stampin' Up! I am loving the new Stampin' Up! catalogue, go check it out to see what all the fuss is about. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have one other thing to show you, so will try and get back tomorrow... have a great evening everyone... xx<br /><div>

My son was entering a group competition with Cubs and had to make an address book with all his groups name and addresses in. I thought a tag book would be idea, so cut out the bits on my Silhouette Cameo and he put it all together..... Each tag has a separate persons name and address on it, with more patterned paper on the back. I think it was okay as his team came 1st.....<br />

Not me, just my grandson's nursery school teacher. I think it is rather sad as she also taught my 2 younger sons and she is such a lovely lady. My daughter asked me to make her a leaving card, she is actually retiring but didn't want anyone to know. I sat down ready to make a card, but came up with something else instead. She probably got loads of cards so thought something a bit different would be in order. So here it is......<br />

I made it using a couple of files from the Silhouette Studio Store, it is a little paper pieced vase with a rose and petals placed inside. The acetate box was also a file which I made a big bigger to accommodate the flower in the vase. The tag and rose design were more designs from the shop too..... I have so many that I haven't used yet, but the weather is just too hot to work at the moment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The new Stampin' Up! catalogue is also out and I have placed a nice order with my friend for some very yummy stash, including the new In Colours which I think are absolutely yummy. I have also joined a Ribbon Share with another friend so I can have some of the new ribbons colours without having to buy a whole reel as I am fast running out of storage space in my craft room.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So that is it for today, hope you may have got a bit of inspiration from visiting..... enjoy the weather and take care xxx</div>

It was rather dull here this morning and not so warm but immediately the sun came out the heat turned up and it is now very hot. Fingers crossed this continues for the weekend.<br />
<br />
As promised yesterday, I will tell you about Hubby's latest win. On Monday he won 4 tickets to see Human League and Kew Gardens on Wednesday night. So we took the boys and had a picnic on the lawn. My youngest son absolutely loved it, he kept running down to infront of the stage and dancing, he said everyone was dancing there and he wouldn't get embarrassed. I think a wonderful time was had by us all, culminating in a spectacular firework display. Now I must admit that Human League in no way resemble the group of old, but they do sound exactly the same.<br />

A sparkly princess iron on vinyl design, also cut using my Silhouette Cameo and then ironed on to the vest. In future I think I will sort out my heat press for vinyl work as it works better than using the iron.</div>

We had an absolutely brilliant time at British Summer Time in Hyde Park last Friday. Hospitality was awesome, food was awesome and drinks were awesome, but the most awesome thing of all (apart from the groups) were the ice-creams. I have never tasted such gorgeous ice-cream in all my life, and believe me I have had quite a few ice-creams. It was so, so good that I never even took a photograph of it. I guess you could tell how awesome it tasted from a photograph anyway.<br />

Anyway, enough of concerts for today.... I thought I would show you my nails. I bought 2 more new Konad plates to stamp onto my nails (google Konad Plates if you dont know what I am talking about), and finished my nails off this morning. I think they look pretty cool and I seem to have got the hang of the stamping now....</div>

Tuesday nights we go to a General Knowledge quiz once a month, and last night was that night. We were missing my sister who normally comes but we still managed to make third place so very pleased with that, especially as we made second last Thursday at our weekly music quiz. </div>

And now for the crafty part. I just wanted to show you my boys water bottles. The flasks cost 99p each in the 99p store and I stuck their names on them using vinyl which I cut with my Silhouette Cameo. </div>

Cannot believe I have been going there for 25 years without a break. When son leaves next year it will be the end of an era. Friday they had a picnic on the field and friends and relatives were invited. Unfortunately it rained so we sat under a tree. We also had my grand daughter with us because my grandson was in hospital having grommets fitted. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8gi-w2JSXCOd2NVi-QuJKubciLEMikcAB5YL7-je8TqMG77Lh5l5sLxVLsZrr7ME3fXTUB_VozgdCLk60byB44rFCKVK0HoHc58tRnLTEO0JPRmuAhaEaXg8SF1u1z7aJ2kj2jcg7-e2e/s640/blogger-image-979720939.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8gi-w2JSXCOd2NVi-QuJKubciLEMikcAB5YL7-je8TqMG77Lh5l5sLxVLsZrr7ME3fXTUB_VozgdCLk60byB44rFCKVK0HoHc58tRnLTEO0JPRmuAhaEaXg8SF1u1z7aJ2kj2jcg7-e2e/s640/blogger-image-979720939.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWQIA7YCIkU860MwDY2nh9fYSaB7ROyvOsk-TiKV_7rkdc5l0sAt-igob9OSu4eiU4MJtv-S9SsCv4I2ztllIGlsKcZTxrC_nYXOpkCRYO-nJoMuL7vH5-9h1QlPczNPdpSueYI1OpffW5/s640/blogger-image-505412506.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWQIA7YCIkU860MwDY2nh9fYSaB7ROyvOsk-TiKV_7rkdc5l0sAt-igob9OSu4eiU4MJtv-S9SsCv4I2ztllIGlsKcZTxrC_nYXOpkCRYO-nJoMuL7vH5-9h1QlPczNPdpSueYI1OpffW5/s640/blogger-image-505412506.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>But a good time was had by all.

We aren't doing anything today other than going to church, so may buy myself a new book on my kindle, I may also schedule in some work this week as I tend to do things if I have them on a list. Also need to sort out a shopping list for tomorrow morning and clean out the birds, lizards and tortoise.... Hmmm doesn't seem like nothing to do to me. Thinking of doing a 10 minute workout with my kettlebells too, I am trying to follow a Kettleworx 6 week program, but am so unfit I have only made it through 1 20 minute workout so far... lol</div>

There is also a really nice photograph doing the rounds on Facebook, but I dont like to put young peoples photographs on my blog without parents permission so you will have to check out my Facebook account for some more (if you are friends with me on there).<div>

I made a few of these cards for the men in our Church, I wasn't sure if it was a really masculine card, but as it had no flowers I thought it would be okay. What do you think? The Balloon stamp set is from Papertrey Ink, as are the dies for the clouds and balloons. The patterned paper is from Stampin' Up! and the sentiment I wrote on with the Silhouette Studio Pens and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo. I also decorate the inside of my cards but always forget to take photographs of that. I am fast running out of cards and stuff to post so I guess I had better get making.... have a great Sunday and I hope it is as sunny where you are as it is here..... xx</div>

We decided to go to the cinema but the boys weren't old enough to see World War Z so we picked a showing where Despicable Me 2 was on at the same time and we let them go see that. My older son (who is 12) had his mobile phone in case they had problems and we were only a few screens down to them. Everything went fine and they felt very grown up going on their own. I really enjoyed the film. Not sure why it gets bad reviews. I especially wanted to see it because we went to Leicester Square the day of the World Premiere to see the stars arriving (including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie). We were also lucky enough to have tickets to the Muse concert at Horseguards Parade later that day. </span><div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); "><br></div><div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); "><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZUQD7mJwYVQP5bR75GP-juqf_p4T7IY7gJ_qESBtyDaMl0dGuaa0ut8i2ztaXMRChBnaZANwRVdbCLjeIAnHUiy7rT7JfMfcC18gTYQ1hMjNy8d2xxXxb7l61Al9GLdacCsRR8TISU5dQ/s640/blogger-image-181904801.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZUQD7mJwYVQP5bR75GP-juqf_p4T7IY7gJ_qESBtyDaMl0dGuaa0ut8i2ztaXMRChBnaZANwRVdbCLjeIAnHUiy7rT7JfMfcC18gTYQ1hMjNy8d2xxXxb7l61Al9GLdacCsRR8TISU5dQ/s640/blogger-image-181904801.jpg"></a></div><br><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUlDCAGpQtWb7V-t8CqIIbeqLgwga_NAwU9bQI6FjDWE09OEUrN5UdVwizl1p_l8sDfgiTSBKiwlPvKl8lF0By_L-xJt22vO0RIvZd8Q-tQ8cTD_p5jMw7A1v7HbvBGKYS_eCGvBPSy9_/s640/blogger-image--594988211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUlDCAGpQtWb7V-t8CqIIbeqLgwga_NAwU9bQI6FjDWE09OEUrN5UdVwizl1p_l8sDfgiTSBKiwlPvKl8lF0By_L-xJt22vO0RIvZd8Q-tQ8cTD_p5jMw7A1v7HbvBGKYS_eCGvBPSy9_/s640/blogger-image--594988211.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiix5h_zYmtMgbJe1Q7EfTJgx2AmPBnFBaSUNO_A2OrA8V9SvWDloNp71Ezq6YNkS2z_KT8qAraR-K8iJG7RUtHR7Y_eGb8R7QPT368w8HGU5eWyuMR4ziqMOqTrfF62UbzoiZ2v9hEe7uF/s640/blogger-image--1350758953.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiix5h_zYmtMgbJe1Q7EfTJgx2AmPBnFBaSUNO_A2OrA8V9SvWDloNp71Ezq6YNkS2z_KT8qAraR-K8iJG7RUtHR7Y_eGb8R7QPT368w8HGU5eWyuMR4ziqMOqTrfF62UbzoiZ2v9hEe7uF/s640/blogger-image--1350758953.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1qwwttWnY_eMP5amchofEiq9ZnKVM5bPNUz7ogcoUHTulZ6-b1dt1LijoxetIpA9md-0b28h7VxhMpjONgGaoDZq-u7HYzViDbpB22NK3UBMtFSAsJiFpF_stZTyvS2tQVnBYEfUaMQEY/s640/blogger-image-308417094.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1qwwttWnY_eMP5amchofEiq9ZnKVM5bPNUz7ogcoUHTulZ6-b1dt1LijoxetIpA9md-0b28h7VxhMpjONgGaoDZq-u7HYzViDbpB22NK3UBMtFSAsJiFpF_stZTyvS2tQVnBYEfUaMQEY/s640/blogger-image-308417094.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">What do you think of the photos?

My sons school is having a picnic to celebrate 100 years of the school, so we are also going there in a minute. Then they are putting on little shows and the summer fete will be on. So far this morning I have done the housework, done some washing, loaded the dishwasher, taken son to work. Picked up a prescription and visited the pet shop to buy some locusts for the lizards. Phew.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So a quick post of some cards and I will be on my way.<br />
<br />

<div>
I made this card for my daughters boyfriend as he has a kawasaki ninja. I used patterned paper I designed myself and the motorbike, matting and banner come from the silhouette studio shop. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This card I made for a young lady at church's birthday. She has recently got a Yorkshire Terrier puppy so thought this was appropriate. The felt flowers are cut from Papertrey Ink felt using their dies also. The leaves are a sizzlet die and the dog is a silhouette studio cutting file. Hope you like it. </div>

Now those of you who know me, know what a concert type of gal I am, having spent the last 2 weekends seeing The Who and The Killers in concert, so that kind of prize is right up my street...<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to why you are all here, to see more cards that I have made. The first one is a thank you card (actually I made 20 of them) for my daughter to send to everyone who bought a gift for her baby boy when he was born. Not a very good photo, but it was taken in the dark depths of winter.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next one was a birthday card for my daughters birthday, I used Papertrey Ink stamp sets, Stampin' Up! Owl Punch, Stampin' Up! banner die and stamp set. Think the paper was also Stampin' Up!. I think the colours are gorgeous....</div>

<br />
I also used my Silhouette Cameo to cut vinyl stickers for my flour jars, the jars cost 5p each from a local sweet shop that was closing down. Gave them a good clean, got all the sticky off from their labels and badged them up for myself. They look really good on top of my cupboards, they look like they cost a lot more than they did.... they keep the flour really fresh too as the lids are screw on.<br />

We went to see Meatloaf in April 2013, he sang his whole Bat Out Of Hell album from beginning to end and he also sang other songs too. Awesome night, and so pleased to see him at last. Last time he toured we bought daughter and her husband tickets to see him as she likes him more than I do.... so pleased to be able to do that for her. This time it was our chance. Thank you Meat for a wonderful concert.<br /><br /><br />
Do you think I can make it back here tomorrow? I hope so. See you all then... x<br />

I wrote a long post on my Ipad, then hit the wrong button and managed to lose it all so have started again on my computer in the hope that the same thing wont happen again. Total user error.
Son is buy showering and doing his hair, with a bit of help from Mum, (what am I going to do Mum, its sticking up at the back).... did I say he was arriving at his prom on a Kawasaki Ninja, so am thinking that the crash helmet will wreck his hair anyway.
College trip went okay today, have a long list of Chef stuff he needs, around £300 worth, so will have to get saving for that. Wont argue with him as he will have an excellent set of sharp knives amongst his things.
A few more photos today. Since I posted last December we have acquired a few more pets. Today I will showcase my new Bearded Dragon, Mabel. She is very tame and often comes out for a cuddle. She spent the morning chasing locusts around her vivarium....

Today I am also going to show a card I made for Mothers Day. I always seem to have problems fitting them into envelopes after I have made them and dont always have time to make small boxes for them. Will have to design a template for a thick envelope to cut quickly on my Cameo.<br />

Off to make a card for my Grand daughters birthday. I am trying to stay on top of everything that needs doing. Have spent the last day re-vamping my blog, all the elements and papers are designs I have made myself, just had a problem fitting the pattern onto the edges of the template. Hubby found out at lunchtime that it was because photo bucket sizes the pictures down too small. Simple as that and I was up to after midnight last night trying to find out why. Upload the pics to my own domain page and it works fine. Probably needs a small bit of fine tuning now..... see you all soon.. x<br />

I cannot believe that I haven't posted on my blog at all this year. <br />
<br />
I started the year badly having recurring gall bladder problems and was waiting to have my gall bladder out. I was on morphine, tramadol, cocodamol and a cocktail of other stuff too, so was a walking zombie for quite a few months. I finally feel now that I have recovered and hope to keep this blog updated regularly from now onwards. Unfortunately whilst I was ill, I didn't really make anything to show you anyway, but I have been making recently. Some of the earlier cards made were totally CASED or copied from other people, but in my zombie state I didn't note down any names to credit them to, so if you see a card similar to your own on my blog, please let me know so that I can credit it to you please. My apologies in advance for the slackness on my part.<br />
<br />
Just after Christmas, my daughter (number 6) had a little baby boy, my 7th grandchild. He was slightly early and it was a big surprise to get a text message at 2.20am with the good news. This is the card I made for him.<br />

I will try and pop back in tomorrow, with some more photo's of things I have made. I do have a busy day tomorrow, my son (number 8) has just finished his GCSEs and has been accepted at college to do a course to enable him to become a qualified Chef. He already works in the Secret Garden in Maldon, where we live, and tomorrow we are off to enroll him into college. It is also his prom, so I am sure I will be inundating you with photo's of my handsome son in his suit all dressed up and ready to go. Lets just say that his mode of transport to get to his prom is not the usual limousine. Watch this space.<br />

<div id="post_message_6505269" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I love the magazine Ideal Homes and last year I went to a website called magazines direct and got out a subscription. I took out a rolling year subscription as I didn't want to miss any issues and when you set up a subscription you always miss a couple before it gets started. On my invoice it says £21 every year.... and this year I was charged £28.49!!!! The subscription charge goes to IPCMagazines direct. I rung them and they said they sent out a letter around 8 November informing me of the rise, but I didn't receive this letter. I know I didn't as I was unsure what kind of subscription I had got out until they took the money from my bank account at the beginning of December. I was surprised it was so much so checked my invoice (I never throw anything away) and the words were £21 every year. If I was to take out a new subscription with them it would only be £22.49. They said I could cancel my subscription and take out a new one with them so saving me money, but then I would again miss a few whilst it was all being set up, so I said to leave it how it is but cancel it after this subscription runs out.....<br /><br />Okay rant over.... just a warning not to believe everything you have in writing....</div>

Anyway, I guess you have stopped by to see what I have been making...... it was my sons Christmas Bazaar last week and I made some small sewing kits for the tombola stall... they had several tombola stalls one with sweets and fizzy drinks, another with tins and edible food and another with lots of other goodies.... here are a couple of things that I made...</div>

This is a little sewing kit I made, inside are needles, thread and buttons. Aren't they cute? These are all over the internet so not sure who to credit them to. If you are the person who originally thought of them please let me know so I can credit you.<br />
<br />
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and look. I do have some more things to show you so pop back soon. xx<br />

I went to see The Killers on Friday night. Have been waiting 3 years and 5 months for them to tour again and the show was well worth the wait. And as a double bonus we got half price tickets for Saturday night and took the boys with us to see them again. They even sung songs Saturday night that they hadn't on Friday and we were right next to the stage on Saturday too. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/19/1801.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/19/s_1801.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/19/1802.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/19/s_1802.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /> <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/19/1803.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/19/s_1803.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />I spent Friday trying to keep myself occupied as I was so excited about the concert and I made a Christmas Ornament. Loads of people have been making them and one is shown on the Stampin' Up! Christmas catalogue cover but I decided to do mine in a different colour way. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/19/1804.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/19/s_1804.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />I bought some white tulle to use. I used black card and embossed the stamp images on to it. The embossing powder is sparkly but you cannot see that in this photo. I also used the silver elastic from SU. I think it looks really striking. What do you think?<br /><br />Am currently in the process of making a couple of mini albums but have run out of paper so am trying to match some to it. I also have to cut some mount board for the cover which I am not too good at either. Watch this space!!<br /><br />I will be back soon with some more of my Christmas makes.

I was with some friends yesterday who said that Christmas was banned as a topic of conversation as it was coming round so quickly. Well this year I am trying to be organised and am succeeding to a degree too.... I have made about 3/4 of my christmas cards, the boys have bought ones this year, so I have 80 less to make, but I am attempting to put a hamper together for each of my kids with some homemade stuff in as well as some bought stuff, so am in the process of starting that. Still no word from the hospital on my operation date either.<br />
<br />
Since being ill, my creativity has taken a nose dive so I have been CASEing a lot of cards until my mojo comes back, so some of these picture I am about to show you have been CASED from some very talented ladies, but I cannot remember who, so if it is you, drop me a line so I can credit you for them.<br />

We are off to see The Killers on Friday at the o2 and I am determined not to go to the hospital before that, not taking any chances of them rushing me for an emergency op so that I cannot go. I have been waiting 3 years for this concert..... lol.<br />
<br />
I have been really busy lately making Christmas Cards but the weather is so dull it is impossible to get a good photo, so I will show you some things I made previously.<br />

This card I made for my son's class to give to their drama teacher who was leaving. They had a director's chair made for him with his name on and I made this card to go with it. They were very pleased...<br />
<br />
Another card I have made recently is this...<br />

This was for my dad and I used files from the Silhouette Store. I seem to have been using my Silhouette Cameo a lot lately, am thinking of selling my Cricut Imagine and the cartridges as my silhouette cameo does everything that does and I dont really need to machines doing the same thing.<br />
<br />
We had a pretty lazy weekend, I spent a lot of it in my pyjamas due to not feeling too good. That is a recent thing for me as I never used to own any pyjamas, well only a pair that I used in case I had to go into hospital, but I have treated myself to 2 new pairs lately and I love them, I change into them in the evening so slob on the bed in..... very lazy and indulgent!!<br />
<br />
Hope to see you all tomorrow, I have been busy compiling my Christmas list today, now just need to decide what to buy everyone. There is a lot I want to make so have compiled that list... now to see if I actually make it... lol<br />
<br />
Take care xx<br />

Much shorter post today as we don't take many photos at Alton Towers. It would be much of a muchness, but I do have a few things to show you. <br /><br />Our first day at Alton Towers was Halloween and there were lots of people dressed up. Their were also zombies walking around the park to scare you. The rides also stayed open until 9pm so rode some roller coasters in the dark. There were 4 scary mazes but it cost from £9 for tickets for them so we didn't go in them but on the second day they extended the maze opening by a day and reduced the price to £5 so we took the opportunity to go in them then. Boys were pretty scared in a couple of them but they did enjoy themselves and they haven't had nightmares so all is well and good. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/05/1481.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/05/s_1481.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Do you know what these are? They are fireworks and these are just a few of the ones set off on our last night at Alton Towers. They were awesome. I have never seen fireworks like them before and I think they were even better than the New Year fireworks in London. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/05/1482.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/05/s_1482.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/05/1483.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/05/s_1483.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/05/1484.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/05/s_1484.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/05/1485.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/05/s_1485.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Not brilliant photographs but my camera was on go slow and the fireworks had almost disappeared when the shutter decided to close. The rides were also open after the fireworks had finished so we took the opportunity to ride a few more before they shut at 9pm and we went back to our hotel for the final time this year. <br /><br />And because I haven't shown you anything crafty for a few days I will finish off this post with a photo of one of my recent makes. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/05/1486.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/05/s_1486.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />I made a wall banner for my grand daughter. It's not a big photo but you get the idea. The name Alicia is in sparkly glitter pink card and there is an owl either end of the name. All joined together with ribbon. <br /><br />Hope to see you all tomorrow.
