Hi there.

I decided to enter a Mami Doodles challenge. I don't normally have the time but have been off work all this week sick (eye infection). The laundry is all done, house clean and eyes a slight bit better so I set to work last night and came up with this...



Elisa has some lovely digital stamps. I must use the rest of this week to make some more cards using her images.

Thanks for looking.

My gosh it has been ages - I should update this blog more often. Well today is Easter Sunday and the kids had a ball - they went to see their nana and then off to the gym for a swim and then home to a roast dinner. And of course chocolate eggs thereafter!!!

Since I last posted I now have a new baby niece - Ava - she is a dote... I had her overnight a few weeks ago and it reminds me how much hard work babies are!!! But at the same time sooooo worth it.
I made some easter nests for the kids last night - thanks to Jan on the Craft Supplies forum - for the life of me I can't post a link to the photos - I must work on that one - I thought once they were in photo bucket then i could add them to blogs too.. I must get this sorted....Anyhow - here is a link to the discussion on Craft Supplies which gave me the idea. http://www.craftsupplies.ie/shop/chat/viewtopic.php?t=21443

I have been to the last two of Jackie Mooney's card making work shops http://jackiesworkshops.blogspot.com/ and made some amazing cards. I will take some photos of recent cards and post them up over the next day or too.

I am working on some albums/booklets for our sixth class kids to remind them of their time in school. I have until June to get them sorted but thought I would start them when I had some time over Easter. Again, I will get some photos sorted soon. Thats all for now...

The kids had a whale of of a time over the last few days with the snow. It is the first time they ever managed to make a snow man!!! And what a job they did too.... Well done all. I love the snow. And I especially like the fact the schools (and as I work in a school, my job) are closed until Thursday. It has thawed out today so all the snow has melted so I wish for a bit of snow to make more snowmen and have it thawed nicely before I need to be on the road again!!! It's Sunday night and no snow here yet???
Happy New Year to you all. All the best for 2010!

I have been busy but managed to get some crafting in and thought it was about time I updated this blog!

I bought a cheap mirror frame from Ikea and altered it a bit and this is how it turned out. The colour scheme goes great in our bedroom. I love it.












I have just made a few cards and took some photos to share. So have a look below.















That's all from me for now. I promise my New Year resolution is to craft and blog more often. Hope you are all happy and well. Bye for now.
