Made some cards today!

Guess what, I actually made some cards today. I forgot my neices wedding anniversary so went to my craft room and created. My 'mojo' had disappeared recently and I haven't made a card in months. So up to my craft room I went and sat there. When I first got my cuttlebug I played with some of the embossing folders so I had the hearts on pink paper. I cut it down to fit on the card and added some hearts cut in foam. I added a gold peeloff greeting.

I was on a bit of a roll then, lol, so made another card for my sister anniversary which is at the end of the month. This again I made with cuttlebug embossed paper, the swirls which is on pearlescent paper. This is one of my favourite embossing folders. I have used a dufex topper of two champagne glasses and hearts and a silver greeting. It doesn't photograph very well but I think it looks quite classy! lol.

I enjoyed myself today and just wish I had more time to make more. lol. Who ever invented 'work'!!!!!

Father's Day

Well as you all know today was father's day. Today was the first time in years that my hubby got to see his boys. The youngest one, Dan, who lives with us gave Hubby a lovely card and pressie this morning. Our elusive oldest son, Bryan, came over on Friday and gave him his card then. He opened it today and another He had got Gary a card with lovely words also.

Bryan is a chef at a local restaurant and Gary & I went there for lunch. Bryan cooked the meal for us and then paid fr it too. Another lovely surprise. I am so pleased for him as he is really down and frustrated at the moment with his arm.

What a pain.........

That's my hubby! He's only had his broken wrist for a week and he is driving me crazy. He is getting into such a strop when he can't do things. We have devised a cover for his arm so he can have a shower but I have to wash his right side as he can't do that.

I have had to practically pin him into his sling so that he doesn't use his fingers on his broken wrist. Doesn't seem to understand that he could be doing more damage to his wrist everytime he puts pressure on his fingers..

MEN!! Still only another 6 weeks to go............

He's Home

Well Gary arrived home yesterday with his arm in plaster! It is a temporary plaster at the moment and he has it in an upright sling. He has an appointment with our doctor on Monday who will refer him to the fracture clinic here and he can get a permanent cast put on.

It is really funny at the moment as he is finding it difficult to do the easiest of things. He says you don't realise how much you need both hands for.

Last night we had a great time at my friend's son's 21st. It was a fancy dress do and all his mates dressed up. He was Captain Jack (Pirates not Torchwood!!), His older brother was Al Capone. We had Buzz Lightyear, BatMan, Superman, Indian Jones, Wonder Woman (his mate Ben dressed up), Woolverine, Dorothy, Pocahontos, Felicity Shagwell, Austine Powers, Rocky, John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever, The incredibles and other. It was a great night.

Good News.....Bad News.....

Well today I had a day off and my friend Cyd & I went up to Ikea in Croydon. I drove and the journey up there was good. When we got there we had cuppa and a cooked breakfast which consisted of scrambled egg, bacon, sausage, beans, hash browns and tomato. All this for.....95p.. What great value.

We had a wonder round the shop and Cyd picked out a new kitchen, new bed, new dining table.. not sure what her hubby will say ..lol. She's sending him up there to buy it.....We then went into the 'Market Place' for 'bits'. Have to say was a little disappointed and only spent £23!!!!

We left there at about 12ish and started on our journey back down the A23.. as we approached the start of the M23 there were Police there and they have blocked the road off. I was not happy, I'm not very good with changes and didn't know where I was going. Anyway it turned out ok as we just followed the old A23 down through Redhill, Merston, Crawley and then I knew where I was going!

Now for the bad news! As you know Hubby is down in Devon on a golfing trip. Well he rang earlier this evening which I thought was a bit strange as he normally calls me about 10ish. He called to tell me he had just returned from Exeter Hospital after breaking his wrist!
How did he do that you may ask.... playing football no less. He was in goal and one of the other bloke's kicked the ball and it hit his hand hard and the wrist broke!! Luckily it's his left one and the hospital said that it's a clean break and he doesn't have to have any op or anything. Thank goodness!

They are due back tomorrow but this has put a stop to his golf playing for the next 6 - 8 weeks!!

Men - do they ever grow up!.

Still no crafting - but a good laugh

Well all good intentions etc.... Sunday I thought I would have an afternoon crafting but then changed my mind. Couldn't settle.. don't know why maybe due to hubby being away.

Anyway decided to go round my friends and we ended up going through all her old photos as she is wanting to get some of her son, Dan whose 21 on Friday to stick up in the hall. Well we found some great ones of him - well he may not be too pleased!!

I love lookinh through old photos and I may now have to get all my old albums out - remember those before digital cameras- and have a look walk down memory lane.

Have sold a couple of things on my ebay shop and they have been sent off. As they have closed down the post office near work I thought I would try the postage that ypu can do yourself via paypal. It was very easy to do and will save alot of time but I'm still not convinced it will work until I know the customers have their parcel. If it is ok I will have to look at investing in a decent pair of scales. We will wait and see what happens.

Lazy Sunday

Well up early today. Just seen Gary off on his annual golf trip down to Devon with the boys. Bless him he is not very well at all, realy bad throat and chesty cough. Still nothing stands in the way of golf.

Now what am I going to do with myself? Well later on today Cyd and I may go to bingo but not sure.

On Thursday we are off up to London for the day. I love visiting London. It relly excites me. We will be going on the London Eye as Cyd has never been on it before. Lets hope the weather is good.

I have eventually listed some stuff on my e-bay shop http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ubeautycrafts so that is up and running again.

I have also got my web site up and running. Only listed the decoupage sheets at the moment but will be looking at doing the Dufex and other stuff soon. www.ubeautycrafts.com

Also I need to get a couple of cards made. Dan, Cyd's son is 21 on Friday. May have to cheat there and buy a card but I will see how the time goes.

I will keep you updated.
