pens, pots and naughty pups....

Well, I know it's been a while, 

And to be honest, this new blogger layout is

driving me nuts!!!

Anyhooo.....

Two makes, 

pen collection and some naughty pups!

Just my ususal! 

 

I have returned to a creative writing group, 

and decided to jazz up a plain kraft A4 folder.

One of the ladies who goes there loved my folder,

so I did one for her. 

I really loved the black heat embossed

 powder on the purple vellum butterflies.

Question.....

How do you store your promarkers?

My latest way, is in small colour groups, in pots in a box. 

Still not perfect but seems the best I have tried so far.

And lastly.....

I was downloading the camera my hubby normally uses....

And discovered this......

 

She has never done this before.....

Well not as far as I know!

 

Butter wouldn't melt.... *sigh*

Hope you are all grand,

Love Teen xx

Saturday stuff

Was out having a wee galavant today.
Took myself to lunch,
and after I convinved myself
in this day and age
it was no big deal to go and
eat all by myself,
I was asked twice was I eating
all by myself,
and the waitress then shouted out
"Table for one only...."
to which her boss asked her to clarify...
"Just one? She is eating by herself...?"

So yeah....anyway.....

Had lunch then went to Debbi's
Promarker class at Simply Create.
It was really lovely to meet Debbi & Anne
face to face in real life!

And lovely to see a few face's I have come to know
from going through to Alford.

I have still to finish my two cards off,
so just a wee sneaky peek at something.

I did part with two jars of my
home made beet root chutney.
And have been asked for the recipe.....
If I tell you,
do you promise not to tell anyone???

I will tell you however....
there were two miss doggies
who were not best pleased
at having to spending a wee while
at home, by them selves!

oh and Bella Boo was a wee star at doggy class
on Wednesday!
I was so proud of her......
It's not that she can't do what I ask her to there....
she just chooses not most of the time!

Hope you are well.
Much love

flowers in the garden

I love this new stamp of mine.
Dahlia from Greeting Farm.

It was so sunny and cheerful.
I sent it to a friend.
The backing papers are Bo Bunny.
I really love them.


I can not remember where I
found the sentiment.
The in bloom circular stamp is See D.
and the flowers are SU punches.
I used promarkers on to make the right
coloured card.

Now to my own wee flowers......

They love spending time chillin
in their garden.

Poppy had stopped digging,
but Bella ( Bless her.....)
has encouraged Poppy to take it up again......

This was planted out with herbs and shrubs....
Bella looks huge in these photos!

And when you are done....
you snugged up and go to sleep!

This is how they sleep!
The wee one gets too hot,
and moves away.
Just to move back again.
Poppy is so gentle with her!

Been a crappy day. Discovered someone
has hacked into our paypal and stolen £1500
from our bank account, leaving us with nothing!
Pay pal and our bank are investigating.

It's just pants really.

Hope life is better with you all. xxx

2 promarkers pens FREE to a good home

I have been sorting and gutting out my craft room again!
How come I have done so little crafting but have so much clutter!!!

Anyhoo.......

I have sorted my promarker pens out & have discovered that I have four pastel pink pens!
Now I have a couple of spare pens I will keep due to me using them almost all the time,
but I will never use four of them up! And I have quiet a few pinks I use more often.

I was chatting with Amanda and we talking about swaping some doubles
but she has a few of these pinks as well!!!
I think they come in most of the sets of pens......

So if you want one of the two pens that I am happy to post out just let me know.

clearing up & sorting stuff out

My craft area has become a bit neglected.
I am crafting during the day and then wandering downstairs to a
cosy living room and playing on the laptop.

But my poor laptop is sick so away to be looked at....
so I came upstairs and tidied my craft area and started completing various
bits and pieces I had started.

I am getting used to my new promarkers, I love them !
I still need to play with them a bit more to get a better effect,
but so far so good!

This one is one of my new soft centres from Sugar Nellie,
and is an image wallet for an image swap.

I am also entering it my time to craft. which this week is coffee and cream.

And last week I won in their prize draw!!! 10% off at Handy Hippo.

Wooooo Hooooo!



This one is for Nicola who has just graduated, I can't decided if I should put her name on it,
I think I will do that tomorrow.




These three cards were ordered by Shirleyanne's mate.

Hope she likes them.



This one is a wallet for an image swap and the image is Angelique By Sammi....
