TIM'S 12 TAGS OF CHRISTMAS 2010 - #10

Can you believe it's no 10 already?
Another thank you to Tim for a relatively simple tag today. He knows how busy everyone is at this time of year.
I managed this one mainly because I had the Winter Wonder die because I had used my pre-cut grunge one last year. Had I needed to draw one, I would have been here all day!!
The things I used which weren't Tim's were:
cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder
snowflake charm,
brads
Merry Christmas stamp
red ribbon round snowman's neck
white ribbon through tag top
I cut the acrylic tag by hand from my X-Cut guillotine packaging
silver jump ring


Considering all that, it worked fine.

WOYWW #61

The 61st WOYWW eh!  just my age!!!!

I really do look forward to Wednesdays now and having a peep at all your craft desks. I see marvelous creations, complete clutter, 'just got to have' goodies, the occasional tidy spaces, but much more, it just makes you feel you know so many like-minded people sharing this wonderful hobby. Long live WOYWW.

I've been a bit busy this week. I've made some special cards that I was quickly running out of time to do, had another go at changing the look of my blog - it's a bit better I think, anyone agree? but mostly, I've been sweeping up sawdust as 'Peg Leg' fitted a new door and frame to the front room. Did you notice I said 'fitted'? - YES it's finished. Hooray and wondrous joy. The very first job to have been started and finished in one go!!! I'll be in trouble when he reads this now.  I have the job of painting it all now and doing a bit of wallpapering so I had better do a good job aswell.

I bought a new guillotine yesterday, a 9" X-Cut. I am so tired of not having a machine that cuts straight and this one was mentioned to me as being good.



I haven't used it yet but 'peg leg' tried it out yesterday for me and it cuts a treat.
Heather's ATC swap this month has the theme 'Beside the Seaside' so I am working on my 3 cards for that.


Who turned the world upside down? August is our summer isn't it? So where's all the sunshine then? Since we came home, 3 weeks ago tomorrow, it hasn't stopped raining. It's pouring down now and we have to go out to shop for food as 'peg leg' is going to the Woodvale Rally - model flying show - tomorrow 'til Monday.
I hope it stops soon so he can enjoy it all.

Anyway, better go and get ready. See you all next week after I've had a peep at your desks.
