My baby has arrived - 9 weeks early

Hello,

Hope you are all well, despite being back in touch with the world, I'm not as my gorgeous little lady decided to arrive early.

Emmie was born Monday 15Th June at 7.17am weighing 3lb 6, 8 days after my waters went - and many nights in hospital.

Obviously I wont be around for a while again, she is in the special care baby unit, fingers crossed she continues to be a little fighter.

Will post a pic soon. x

Whoo I'm in touch with the world again!

Hello Hello,

I hope everyone is well.

It's soooooooooooooo lovely to be back in touch with the world, I cant wait to go blog hopping later, I have missed the Internet so much, more than I thought possible.

Sky were so naughty, they told us a couple of weeks disruption, which turned into 2 months! The bigger the company the worse the customer services!

Well we are in, settled, just decorating to be done now, I'm sat here waiting for our new sofas to be delivered, up at this time on my days off! Oh well, plenty to do.....................

As for the baby, it's cooking nicely, bump is growing, and 30 days of work to go - I am liking the count down, (6 working weeks) and if baby comes early - then even sooner! Fingers crossed, as long as it's all healthy I don't mind.

Looking forward to getting round to seeing every ones loveliness over the weekend, enjoy the sunshine. x

Hello, Thank you and EBay goodies

Hello ladies, hope you are all well, the sun is shining here today and were off out for lunch.

Just wanted to say a huge "THANK YOU" to everyone who posted such lovely kind messages, I still cant believe I will be a Mummy in August!

Sorry once again for being a bad blogger, its all go here at the mo, I have made a few cards believe it or not, just given them to the special person before taking a pic! So daft!

Well were busy sorting out getting ready to move, no date yet but it will be soon. I have decided to be ruthless - as painful as it is lol.

I have listed on EBay a load of Nestabilities, Copics, Stampin Up ink pads and stamps, Penny Black stamps. I'm thinking baby will have most of my attention, and my gorgeous stash deserves attention and love. lol......................

Hope your all well and having a lovely weekend. x

I'm having a baby! Whop whop

Hello ladies, I'm so sorry for being the worlds baddest blogger of late! I have a very good reason, I'm so excited to announce I'm having a baby - due in August.

I've done nothing but eat, sleep and work! Lovely.......

I'm so lucky I've not been sick or ill - just stupidly tired - more so than I ever could have imagined! I'm so in love with my bed, its not been strange to be in it at 8.30pm! lol

The tiredness has pretty much gone now - so hoping for a bit of normality to return, I've missed playing with my stash and visiting you all, I have popped in now and then, but looking forward to lots of catching up.

Hope your all well. xxx

10% off celebration.

To celebrate Christmas, New Year along with the fact we have sold our house and had an offer accepted on another :)

I am in the mood for some serious celebrations, so I thought I would share the fabbiness of this.

So I am offering a brilliant 10% off all Stampin Up! orders placed through me between now and 31/01/10.................

So if you want to treat yourself or someone else why not get an order in.

I will be placing an order on Monday 14/12/09, if you live local and can collect there will be no postal charge - however if postage is required it will be 5% of your order. I think this is the fairest way to do the postage as it means if you only want something small and light - postage does not break the bank!

All orders welcome big or small.

This is an offer I an offering not a Stampin Up! promotion.

Say it in scepia

is this weeks Daring Cardmakers Challenge, here is a card I made using my Stampin Up stash all in chocolate chip.

It was not taken in the best light - so will try again in the morning - roll on for the nights to start drawing out!

Punches

Evening, second post of the day - had a great time this morning, met some really lovely ladies and a gent, we were a right mixed bunch, there was a lady in the craft class this morning who was celebrating her 88Th birthday today - I hope I can still craft when I am her age.

I booked myself into the last class before Christmas which is next Sat - so looking forward to that one!

This card was easy and fun to make, I am trying to be as versatile as poss with my Stampin Up loveliness. Whilst blog hopping this eve - I came across a challenge Crazy 4 Challenges, this weeks theme is PUNCHES, I used a Mather Stewart punch for the grass, and two other Stampin Up punches for the circles and the sentiment. I love the bold bright colours from Stampin Up, they are so fresh and clean.

P.S Gino 2 win. x

Thank you

Morning, what a great Thursday this is, my long awaited step brothers IVF baby was born yesterday - I cant wait to meet her. And we brought a house! New house new baby and all! lol Not sure that saying is meant for separate people - but we can keep it in the family!
To top it off I have 4 days off - I'm off to a Tim Holtz ink craft class at the local craft centre in a mo then a spot of Christmas shopping, hope to have it all done before the end of the weekend! Bring it on. I love shopping but not at Christmas........................

Here is a quick card I made a couple of days ago, Im putting samples together for when I start doing SU parties! (So exciting)

I have entered this card into this weeks Stamp Somethings Challenge - the theme is Thank you.

Anyone For Anya GDT

I cant believe the second week as GDT over at Anyone For Anya has rolled round already :( Oh well, here is my card, the colours are not quite what they look here IRL - rubbish winter dark days - roll on the summer.

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to Dawny P for having me on the GDT - I was so chuffed to be asked and have had a great time. I will be back playing as normal next weekend. x

Stamp with us

Think I may be a tad too many mins late for this weeks challenge - but never mind, thought I would still enter it anyway! Today has been one of those days where I should not have made any plans! Finally got in just before midnight and Ive not even been to the pub and its a Saturday night! lol

Anyway this card is for Stamp with Us challenge - as I have a newly found love of Stampin Up things I thought it would be rude not to enter.

This weeks theme was 1 stamp, 2 papers, 3 brads. I have used old olive papers ink and card.

Triple Challenge

Here is a card I put together yesterday for 3 challenges.

The sketch is over at Papertake Weekly.

Daring Cardmakers - "The First Letter" They would like you to put things on your card which begin with the first letter of your name. My name is Sally - so I have used Sparkly gems, Sparkly glitter, Stars, Snowflakes, Shoes and a square card (not sure that really counts lol).

A Spoonful Of Sugar - To make something for a baby's first Christmas or a pre schooler.

Hope your Monday has been a good one. x

Anyone For Anya GDT

I can finally share my up most chuffed ness (quality English lol) I was on my honeymoon in Mexico when I found out I had won a spot as a GDT member on the Anyone For Anya GDT - today is my first week. I am so excited I know its daft but hay ho! :)

Here is my card - this weeks theme is:

MAKE A FAKE

anything fake, or faux if you are posh, on your cards this week. You could use a border punch to create fake lace, or do a bit of faux stitching or faux flowers.

I used my doily punch for faux lace, a flower punch and some sparkly gems!

its weird making a card for a challenge and not entering it! lol.

Hope your all having a lovely weekend, I'm off to my bezzies Virgin Vie party later, which will be lovely, but in good old Sunday style have just watched a bit of QVC whilst channel hopping and Bobbi Brown was on - I love Bobbi Brown, I tried it earlier this year and have never looked back, I wore it for my wedding and it felt amazing. Needless to say I just parted with a few pennies! Oh well - looking forward to the postie arriving. x

No backing papers

Here is a card I made for this weeks Charisma Cardz challenge - the theme is no backing papers. This is the second card I made with my new Good Friends stamp set. This card is so teeny tiny, I don't think I have a small enough sentiment lol.....

Hoping its not a wet, windy rainy day where you are. x
