Number 1

Hi all,
I hope you are having a good week.  I had work today at my favourite little school to supply in (only 30 in the whole school), so Martha looked after Grandma and Grandad today!  They seemed to have a lovely time.
Over at CRAFT this week, we are sponsored by Meljen's Designs, Scrapper's Delights and Bugaboo Stamps.  Our theme is Father's Day, as it is this Sunday over here.  The girls have already made their own cards for hubby, so I decided to make a tag for them to put on his present.  I'm not sure what it is yet, as we haven't had time to go and get something.  Hubby doesn't really want a fuss about it, but Daisy won't let him get away without having something - probably chocolates so she can have them!  The image is by Meljen's Designs.
I hope you have a good rest of the week.

I am finally here!

Hi all,

I hope you had a good weekend. We met some friends on Saturday and went to a museum, which had a pumpkin trail for the kids. Daisy loved it and loved the lolly she got for completing it, too! Yesterday, Daisy and I had a very long musical rehearsal. There's only 4 weeks before the shows, so we have lots to do. Martha's nursery are having a little halloween party today, so she went dressed as a witch. We don't really do Halloween things, but I didn't want her to be left out at nursery, which is why we got her an outfit. I'm spending the day catching up on everything should have done last week, but didn't get around to doing.

This Monday, Incy Wincy are sponsored by Meljen's Designs, who are offering 4 digis to the lucky winner. Our theme is dots and stripes. I have used Robbie the Robot by Meljen's. The papers are by Hot off the Press and Stamp Fairy. I have followed a sketch by The Sweet Stop. I must admit that it looks a bit bare to me, but I think it would be good for a little boy. Have a good rest of the day.

What have I got myself into now?

Hi all,

I have an interview today at a supply teaching agency, so I can't be too long. Last night, I went to a PTA meeting for Daisy's school, and somehow I managed to become the treasurer! I really must learn to keep my mouth shut as I now have this job for about 8 years if I want (until Martha has left the school!)

Over at Creative Craft, it's our 2nd anniversary and we have some wonderful sponsors. Our theme is Congratulations. I have two cards for your inspiration today. The first one uses a lovely image by Meljen's Designs. The paper is a magazine freebie I had years ago and found just after I had made my bright card for a previous DT challenge. So, I hope you have your sunglasses at hand.

My second card uses an image by Stampin Boutique and is more in my colour comfort zone. I'm not completely sure I like this one, I must admit. I'm not sure why, and it may grow on me.

Don't forget to check the projects from the rest of the DT.

I have some news

Hi all,

Thanks to those of you asking about Martha. Her lip has healed now, but it didn't help when she fell over onto it again. She's at that stage of wanting to go everywhere at high speed, but not looking where she is going.

I have a bit of news. From now on, I will have two posts on a Thursday, as I have been asked to join CRAFT challenges as a regular DT member. I am so pleased, as I really enjoyed being Guest Designer. This week, we are sponsored by

who are offering a 10,00 euro gift voucher, and
who are offering 4 digis to the winner. This week, we would like to see bright colours on your project. I have used Toadstool Buggies by Meljen's. The paper is the brightest I could find (although typically I found some much brighter paper once I had finished this!) and is by Kate Knight. Please check out the rest of the DT's fab projects and check back here for my Digital Delights post.

I would like to enter this into the following:
