Yawn.... Monday Again

Back to the normal routine today then..... had another busy day yesterday... our church was invited to another church for the day, we had morning service with them and then they did a bbq for our church to thank them for all the help we have given them since the new Pastor joined. After that it was round to our Assistant Pastor's house for Coffee and Muffins in celebration of Mr Assistant Pastor's 50th birthday.... so nice easy day with no cooking to do. Thank you everyone for your generosity.

These are the cards I made to send out with a couple of friends Papertrey Ink products that they ordered via me. We sometimes group together because it is cheaper on postage and customs charges... I used the Papertrey Ink stamps, ribbon, Cardstock and Patterned Paper for this card, not forgetting the buttons too, but I did use Stampin Up Little Tag Punch and Stamp set for the little tags. How sweet are they....

So here are the last 2 of the Church Order Cards I have, I will try and be better organised next month and get them out of the way quickly, I didn't post much this month so have had photos building up... again Papertrey Ink Ribbon, they are such lush colours and polka dot ribbon is my favourite.

And more chipboard on this card, it matched the Patterned Paper wonderfully (dont know who made it) but the ribbon is Papertrey Ink, and the little circles were die cut using a Papertrey Ink Die, these are really wonderful. Right need to get my nose to the grindstone, have a great day all xx

Yes you guessed it.... another Christmas Post.... ha ha

I only make presents for the teachers at the junior school, sorry secondary school teachers, but there are just too many of you.... lol

So it transpired that I needed to make 3 gifts for each of my boys teachers once you add in Teaching Assistants etc, and as money is tight I couldn't afford a big box of chocolates for each, so bought some Ferrero Rocher and split them into the six boxes, I also put some gorgeous holly and berry tissue paper inside the boxes with the chocolates so they didn't rattle around.

Again I used my Stampin' Up! Scrappin' Kit, I think there is also paper there from last year's kit, they seem to last forever. the little tags were made using the 2 sizes of Tag Punches, these are such useful punches for this sort of thing. The boxes were made using the Bigz XL die.

And here is a close up picture of one of the boxes. They looked gorgeous once finished and the boys couldn't wait until they took them into school for their teachers.

Have been shopping today for party food for the New Year's Eve party and also visited my son as it is his 18th birthday today......

Still have loads to share with you... look out over the next few days... have a great evening all xx
