Boo you don't scare me

no cards to show cos i couldn't be bothered photoing them. been another busy week . E' was back in hospital after another bad asthma attack, shes home now but we still no closer to getting something to help.

Young at Heart day at Oadby and wigston was fantastic as always they ladies that attended the classes were lovely.

i sent a parcel of xmas cards to Lorraine for her to seel for CF trust.

and today i am doing a class at sunday at 4 at maureens church

thats all my news will blog more next week.

bye for now hope everyone in blog land has a fantastic week

Monday morning and i'm hoping postman has a parcel for me today while i wait i used the free Humphrey stamp to make a Christmas card for a Leicester Tigers rugby fan.

the image was stamped out and coloured with pro markers. the scarf and mittens was made with scrap paper and coloured in the club colours.

ok so Humphrey didn't arrive in todays post so made another tea light card

been up since 4am can't sleep....

managed to finish the tea light card really pleased with it think they will make super gifts . popped in the pound shop yesterday and managed to get 12 strawberry smelling tea light so will make a few more gifts tomorrow if Humphrey dosn't arrive before then

Had  a busy weekend  making  cards

have   a few  cards  to photo and  upload  later, refuse to make  any more  Christmas ones  till little  Humphrey arrives  here

well what a fantastic  day this  has been...
 had  a email telling me i'd won a comp on the  Crafter's Companion web site  a full set of  Humphrey Christmas stuff . can't  wait  to get them and  make  more Christmas  cards and  will of coarse  be taking them to work so everyone can use the  stamps 

thought i'd  share  a Fantastic lady's web site with you all
The Barnes Boys
Lorraine is a lovely lady who not only  looks after  2 sons  with CF but  tirelessly  fund raises  for the CF trust.

All my spare cards  now go to Lorraine to sell to raise money . its a small way of helping. such a FANTASTIC cause.

so i've  now  stepped away from the  ttable  till i can think of  something differant  to do or i will have a box full of this type of cards

so  i've  gone  Humphrey  mad  just love  this  little  elephant and i'm also loving this  type of card . its  such an easy fold and can be used on a card  or made bigger and used as a photo frame

stamped using  Humphrey free stamp
