Fell in love with this rubber stamp as soon as I saw it. I have made this for my friends daughter who is going to be 6 next month.

Life is a canvas

Hi , have finally made a card after 4 months, I bought some pro markers early this year and am finally ( i hope) getting the hang of this shading jobby. I bought this rubber stamp a few months ago but when i heard the saying attached to the card and thought the 2 went perfectly together.

Back in blogland

HMMMPPH second time lucky. I closed the screen down before I published my post !! DHHHRRR

Well am back here after the move, which went brilliantly. Just finding my feet. The boys did 3 weeks at school before they broke up for summer. They have the novelty of catching the school bus here instead of walking or riding bikes. I have unpacked all my craft stuff and to be honest going from a room to a cupboard is a bit of a pain so am keeping my eyes open for some suitable storage.

I haven't done any card making yet but have been playing with my beads. I have put up a couple of pics of some stuff I made this week. Have done some before we moved bu can't find where it is stashed at the moment , when I do I will post them too.

.

anyway that's all for now,

hugs and many thanks for stopping by

feeling a bit blue this morning as I just waved my friend off as she goes of to their new posting in Cyprus.

I love the moving around and living in different places - not been lucky enough to live any where exotic though i do keep dropping hints to Ian to no avail yet - But i really hate all the goodbyes, you think it would get easier over time but it doesn't, especially when it comes to saying goodbye to good friends.

Anyway 3 weeks and 3 days to go and we shall be on the move ourselves. It's going to be a long day as this is the first time we have done a one day move, it's the shortest distance we have moved unless you count the move round the corner in Northumberland when we moved from a 2 bed to a 3 bed house...

We have packed everything we can pack for now, just the essentials and clothes left to do, which we can't pack until the last few days.

It's half term this week, and Nathan goes back to school on the 1st June as he has his maths GCSE paper to do, Callum is on a PD day, so we are going down to Bedford to have a look at the house and drop Marcus's travel cot etc off at mums as she is having Marcus for a few days whilst we move. Its great mum will only be 20 miles down the road, and it will be great to meet up with old school friends who I am back in contact with...how great is friends reunited. Ian has recently got in touch with some old school friends too via this.

anyway enough ramblings
thanks for stopping by
