Nearly Xmas!

I think I've made enough cards, I'll soon find out when I write them tonight. I did have a lot more but my mum paid a visit and took about 20 home with her to show off to the neighbours lol.

I don't mind really, it just gave me an excuse to make lots more!

We've been busy these last few weeks with hospital visits and getting every ones gifts for Xmas, why are men so hard to buy for?!?! I'm starting to panic a bit now as we really cant think of what to buy Tara for Xmas either, its gonna be a cheap one this year, no one needs anything lol.

I hate wrapping!

Panic Time! Its Tara's 10th Birthday on the 14th of this month and I was starting to worry that We've not wrapped her pressies up yet, well now I really do need to worry because we have decided to give them to her tomorrow instead!!!! Our reason is that her best friend will be here tomorrow and shes not seen her for a year and also she will have the whole weekend to play with her goodies. We have bought her all craft items as this is the only thing she really likes (wonder who she gets that off) I'm still Jealous because she has got an embossing board and I want one! lol

I've been having a bit of a low for the past couple of days so not really had the chance to get much crafting done, I have made a start on Waynes xmas card but I cant show you because he has a nose at my blog from time to time!

I have managed one scrapbook layout and a few xmas cards over the last week or so but i'm soooo fed up with xmas already that I dont really like any of them!

I've entered a card into the challenge on UKS http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?p=5260251#post5260251

I'm actually quite pleased with how this one turned out.

I've gone and done it!!!!

I've gone and ordered my craftrobo! My Darling Boyfriend is buying it for me for christmas but has decided that I'll get most use out of it if I have it early, who am I to argue? lol I can't wait to get it and have a play. I've been lookingt at all the great templates and doing loads of reading about it, fingers crossed that I'll be able to find my way around it.

I've been busy over the last couple of days with Taking Tara to have her xrays and stuff but I've managed to get a few more christmas cards made. I've got a get well soon card to do tonight, never done one before so I think i'll go insperation hunting after I pick Tara up from Cubs in a minute.

Here are the couple of cards I made last night.....

Christmas cards

Like most other card makers, at this time of year we start thinking about Christmas cards. I don't usually send out that many but now I'm into this card making, people I haven't spoken to in years will be getting cards lol, its all a great excuse to get crafting!!

Wayne bought me the forever friends Christmas stamps and paper from the Range the other day so I've been making a fair few of my cards using those. Here are a few of my cards for this year.

The card above is my first attempt at a shaker card
