5 Year wait

Not a crafty post this one but On Thursday Myself Ian and Nathan got on a train to London with a rough Idea of where we were going and hoping we could work out the underground map once we got there (HAHAHAHA). We had to get to Wembly arena as we had tickets for Rammsteins new tour. Getting off at Kings cross and not a clue as where to go next, we spoke to the nearest BR guy who told us get on this tube, off that tube, onto this tube etc.... Confused ?? doesn't even begin to cover it!. once in the Tube station we spoke to a nice BR lady who told us oh only one tube 5 stops along and get off, she even took us to the right platform.

We exited Wembly Park station to be greeted by the great sight of wembly arch and stadium

Yeahhh we had got there and so simple. See always ask a woman for directions :)
After a 5 years gap we were off to see Rammstein again, and wow what a show, the wait was most definitely worth it .

We had seating tickets this time instead of standing ( never again it felt so wrong to be sat down) and if we had been any higher we would have needed an oxygen mask....

Hearing is now back to normal and can't wait to see them again .

Happy Christmas

well once again I am late with my Christmas greetings. Hope you had a great Christmas, and wishing you all the best for 2010. Well the last few days of what has been an eventful year, this time last year I was in Telford and now I am sat in Bedfordshire. Still finding not a lot of time to craft, but we hope to rectify the situation next year (hmmm me thinks i uttered those same words this time last year !) I have attached a card I made for my mum's birthday, I did manage to make some Christmas cards this year, but didn't photograph them.

The stamp is from www.funkykits.co.uk and coloured with my prismacolour pencils, papers are basic grey and the twinkles are from www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk and were a fantastic buy :)

thnaks for stopping by

hugs and New year wishes to you

bits and bobs

Not been up to much lately crafty wise, apart form buying something to put all my craft bits in tidily , (thank you IKEA) but did make this necklace. I bought the Turquoise nuggets locally and the tubes from a bead shop online, hope I remember where as I want some more.

The weather was so lovely today we walked to the shop. The walk took us over an hour as we got distracted by the leaf piles ... do you remember kicking your way through them when you were a kid walking to school... bet you still do now :) I know i do but i do have a nearly 2 year old walking by my side :). Yes my baby is 2 years old next Saturday !!!!! Where has the time gone ?? Any way a few pics from our walk this morning.I won't tell you about the piles of conkers that are everywhere.. including callum's bedroom !!!

Thanks for stopping by

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
