My green bin,dst and scissors(use this pair just for dst), iphone for emergency back up if internet goes again! red box containing my new stamps and to the right some old bus magazines which i have been cutting up.

Used card from stash, Tim Holtz 'retro grunge' papers, martha stewart punches, jigsaw pieces,old bus magazines, papermania portobello road vintage stamp set,black soot distress ink and peel off letters.
Right thats me done now,managed to visit and leave comments on all but 5 blogs last week (unable to comment or kicked me off!) but not sure will make it this week as back at work but i will do my best and i always visit peeps who have left me a comment.

My Craft Show Stash

Well am back from the craft show at Taunton and isnt it funny how quick you spend money.........lol
Anyway even though there werent as many sellers as normal i had a great time. Went with Kelly, Sandra and Sophie and met some of the docrafter gang also at the show. Enough of me rambling on i know you want to see what i spent my pennies on.....lol

It consisted of 12 x12 kraft card,paperpack,party lanterns die,quickie glue pen,charms,and stamps,of which all but one were reduced :)

And we then stopped on the way back at dunelm mill so i could pick up this paperpack

So i am off now to play in the craft room with my new goodies,x

Celebration ATC's and my mojo is back :)

Hi all,well its wet and windy here and thats not my tummy.....lol. As i missed the special anniversary
WOYWW the other week due to my internet being down some lovely peeps this week have offered to trade with me so they are now all parcelled up and ready to go (two have been posted now) awaiting addresses. So these are my atc's.

Can you guess which ones for Julia our lovely host over at WOYWW?

I went mad first with the cosmic shimmers mists in my stash and then used the Creative Expressions cog mask and the lush distress ink peacock feathers to add another layer. Used the music stamp from Papermania urban stamps set Bird Print and then punched out some bunting using paper from stash and Stampin Up bunting punch. Added some bling from my stash and the lets celebrate is from another Papermania set called Portabello road - postage stamps and finally a computer on Julia's atc.

Hopefully my swop partners will not be peeking before they get them,now i need to go and make some cards before my mojo disappears,x

WOYWW and some tables

Hi all,can i first say how gutted i was to miss last weeks anniversary woyww but my internet decided to go down on monday and not come back til late thursday by the time then my mojo went into hiding!
I know you are here blog hopping from the lovely Julias world wide blog hop where we all get a chance for a nosey peek into everyones craftrooms and particulary desks.
So as i only managed some crafting on sunday when my buddies came round,this is a picture of the tables and yes there are 3 there ready for action in my front room

All set to make a pocket album so instructions printed off,my mat and tools ready,green pop up bin(most used craft item),trimmer,martha stewart board and in the red box glues and tapes and if you peer closely as i know some will....lol, there are nibbles in the clear bowls.

And this is a action shot and amazing how quickly we fill up the tables with all our craft goodies :)
My album is nearly done so aim to finish decorating the cover today after i have popped into work but going to enjoy visiting your blogs first.So remember if you wish to join in the desk hop just pop over to Julia's at Stamping Ground and away you go,x

Hello its me :)

Hi all,just a quick update,not having a very good crafty time at moment but hope to change it tomorrow with a crafting day at my house for some of my lovely buddies :)
First son took over my craft room whilst he decorated and then my mum came for a visit (which was lovely) but no crafting and just as i get some time to craft and wanted to print off some digis my internet crashed on monday and didnt come back up til late thursday so the old mojo has disappeared.
So apologies for not visiting your blogs and for missing woyww (gutted on that one!) but i am on hols for a week now so will be catching up with you all.
Hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather and have a special jubilee with your family,
Kay,x
