Blue

I've been feeling a bit blue with a cold given to me by my darling grandchildren I suspect. Made this card last night to go with my mood. The scrummy paper is from Artylicious Season's Greetings CD . Cheered myself up after work tonight by visiting the hairdressers so I look a bit more presentable now. Still waiting for my CRB check to come back and therefore still waiting to start my new job grrrrrrrrrrr! I chased my CRB today and was told it is with the police department and will be done when it's done. They say patience is a virtue - I am getting so good ha-ha-ha!

Dentist

I had to go to the dentist this afternoon and was in the chair for 74 minutes! I now have a temporary crown and have to go back for the real thing to be fitted in a fortnight. I'm such a scaredy cat! Last night to take my mind off worrying about the coming ordeal I made this card. The stamps are from Elusive Images - the butterfly is a stamp for stitching and I overstamped the curly dragonfly onto the background paper which is computer generated. Cheers Rosie

First commissioned Christmas card for 2008

I received a very unexpected telephone call asking me to make a special Christmas card for someone's work colleague. This is the first dufex Christmas image I've made a card with and was pleased with the result, as was my customer. I donate the proceeds from my cards to our local Hospice who rely so much on fundraising.

Busy time

I have had such a busy time this week - a friends birthday, another friend had a baby boy, friends wedding anniversary plus a poorly friend who needed to be cheered up with a get well card.

Then of course I've had to make a start on Christmas cards.

On a different tack, we decided that rather than take out Gym membership we would buy a Wii and Wii fit which arrived last weekend. I cannot believe how much fun playing tennis and going bowling has been, nor how bad I felt knocking my husband out boxing! Still, we are keeping fit and happy! Cheers Rosie

Can't believe it is November

Where does the time fly? I was told it is only 55 days to Christmas and that's scary! I've made a start on my Christmas cards thanks to a friends challenge. I've sewn it with embroidery threads and added large sequin stars. Cheers Rosie
