Monday
Today is the start of a busy week, MIL down on wednesday so the house needs a bit of a sort out, days out on Thurs and Friday then taking her back on Saturday and back home on Sunday. Feeling exhausted already just writing it all down.
Not sure how much crafty I can fit in but next week theres the Summer Cyber Crop on UKS starting on Wednesday 8th. Have brought four kits cos it much easier to have a couple to hand seeing as it takes ages to match papers to photos.
Waves to DS Happy Birthday.

Last night went to see Transformers, it was great film and not just a boy flick it was funny and with some great graphics DD recommended, obviously she saw it weeks ago and Boy was she right.

Closer look
As I had technical problems yesterday and completed nothing I thought you might like a closer look at Francoise class from last Sunday. Yes they are peel offs and I do think they get bad press but if used properly they can be a useful addition. These peel offs were stuck onto double sided adhesive sheet, trimmed. Then careful sprinkle different colours of glitter one at time. Then just peel of the backing, layer and matt.
My technical problems were due to the printer, I brought some c**p photo paper and decided to reprint them. Obviously the printer was out of ink and the new one left stripes. So I cleaned them, again, again, again and again, finally it was OK but I had used loads of ink to clean them and no spare.
Then not sure if its just me but I had two photos of Jake with red eye no problem or so I thought. Would it save the new pics, no so had to find some other software I hadn't used before, it just takes more time. Finally managed to print the photos except the last two of Jake that had red eye the printer run out of ink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

work in progress
Meanwhile I have finished the cuddly bears XS but it was a real b****r to centre the words I must have done the names three times in all and there shouldn't have been a prob and I don't think its right now but I refuse to do it again. Now it has to be made into a cushion and because now an owner of sewing machine its down to me. Could've of popped into the fabric shop next door on Sunday cos they were open even though I wasn't sure what colours but by the time we came out they were shut but I have to do it soon as you can see by the date it needs to completed.

The weekend
A really busy weekend starting with the Mod Scraps Crop on Saturday, we were really lucky to be able to go to this after the terrible downpour on Friday, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire worse hit. This is the LO I managed to do, its a scraplift on the new HappyScrappin Forum . One very expensive LO, the papers I was going to use I felt didn't work so ended up buying Roxie from Ellies shop in the hall, guess what I have at home untouched a Roxie kit.
Sunday we went to the Art of Craft they had a demo weekend to celebrate twentytwo years in the craft business. We was only going to go for a couple of hours but ended up being there for five hours.
First we met the Lovely Francoise Read a very unassuming and talented lady. I love her stamps and her classes, she can take a plain bits of card, some stamps and ink, and make a fabulous card. After many years we class her as a good friend, maybe not after telling us that she has another twenty sets of new stamps coming out at the end of August including the wonderful oriental stamps being advertise in the craft mags. Then we met the wonderful Jenny of HobbyArt she had this lovely folder with her examples in and had a lovely polka dot dress stamp, had to have that and I couldn't leave without a flower stamp. Then Karen asked if we wanted to do a workshop with Jenny it was only a £5 so we said yes and Jenny was using the head of oriental lady stamp well that fell in the basket too, then Nannette asked about Francoise workshop so we did that too, now I know people moan about peel off but the ice cream sundaes with glitter they are easy and fab to do. Spent some time with Karen at the make and takes, arranging a day out scrapping then finished off looking at everything else. Was really impress with the cuttlebug especially the embossing but really can't justified the cost after buying the Cricut. So I leave you with pics of my booty.

Newbury
I forgot to tell how was Newbury Artstamps was on Sunday. Quiet, good for me but maybe not for stalls. Not much Scrapbooking although spent quite a bit on Banana Frog. Brought stamps, pens, inkpads, brought quite a bit on Craftwork cards that was Julie Hickey fault because she was demo. Popped up to see Craft and Co but its difficult to buy when I go there nearly every week.
Here's a LO I did which is suppose to be a double but run out of a certain colour of bazzill. Tongue in cheek about Kim and Aggie.
Also a close up on the dinky flowers they are about the size of 5p piece.

Where did you get that hat
At last a pic of something crafty, my LO of Jake wearing the hat I brought him in Orlando. Sis wants to be called Grandma so when we saw this in Cypress Gdns I think we had to buy it for him. Do you love the flowers they're the ones I mention in other posts. You will find them here under scrapbooking, I may have to get some more.
I leave the weekly for tomorrow but I don't think it worked that well.

I haven't anything crafty to show you but that doesn't mean I haven't done anything, I finished my BOB LO but I don't like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I have done the weekly challenge on UKS and nearly finished a LO using Enfys crochet flowers so there might be two photos tomorrow.
I have got Photoshop Elements and have managed to lose the big, no enormous spot on my Sis face quite impressed. I have a book at least three inches thick on tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well its going dark again, we've had a thunderstorm that lasted four hours and it looks like its come round again to have another go at us.

I have a headache too which is helping the creative flow.
Its neck and neck in the final poll of the monthly challenge, I think I done pretty well to get to the final.
Congratulations to my DD who has graduated from Disney but doesn't actually finish her contract till end of September. Hoping for some pics.
Off to take more pain pills.
Oh by the way some consumer advice don't buy a bed from DREAMS cos DS is still waiting for his that he brought over a month ago.

Its raining.
Not much happening on the crafty side DH is preparing DD bedroom. The paper I wanted to start the last BOB LO arrived yesterday, those two sheets of paper cost a lot of money something to do with the £26 extra pound I spent to justified the postage.

Us
DD room is nearly empty, still a box of odds and sods to pack. Its rolling in dust and cobwebs and OH said by the time he cleans, wash, fill holes and rub down this weekend it will be another week before we actually get down to painting.
OH helped put together DS desk that he brought for the money he paid for it, I would have expected it to be assembled already. He has also brought a mirror which when he get his bed matches really well, but its heavy and someone's got to hang it on the wall, "so that'll be Dad then" says DS.

Challenge
At last something crafty, this is my weekly challenge on UKS but has OH had the camera in the car I couldn't upload it and I detest scanning cos it knocks off a bit and really annoys me. After doing this soppy LO we had a blazing row and I was tempted to chuck it in the bin but its the first time I used my sew machine (only had the machine since christmas) and I was really pleased with the results.
It looks like DS has left the building although he stayed last night for a BBQ and didn't want to stop his Dad from having a drink (cos he would need a lift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Now we can make a start on DD room and the plummer is coming to look at our Bathroom on Wednesday.
Now I must go and make a card for a Friend whose birthday it is today and I haven't got a card done yet, typically it a mans card I have to do, plus I need to make my Dad a Birthday card too.

I'll Back
Managed to find a craft shop near Fleetwood and some outlet stores I now have a pink wallet for my blue badge.
My lovely sister has been sending me photos from Tossa all weekend like at our favourite bar, chicken to go on the balcony, the lovely restaurant in Blanes so I sent pic of the craft shop with their rows of shelves of stamps.
DS has had sky fitted but the broadband isn't sorted out, so DS thinks of living there some of the time and some of the time with Us. Now I love him really I do but I need his room to decorate I can't describe how much STUFF my DD has and it needs to go somewhere while we decorate her room and woe betide me if I throw any of it out.
On the BOB I have come to realise I probably not going to be able to do 6 LO from scratch seeing as they are taking me so long, so have checked through my albums and I have at this moment 3 acceptable 1 possible and a DLO probably not still leaves me to do 3. Didn't managed to get the weekly challenge on UKS done last week. This weeks challenge if I can finish Olivias then maybe and the house challenge is titles Easy Rider so will have to see if Sis has one of Loo and Calino. And I won't be gettin any of this done if I don't get off the b*****y PC

Haven't done anything crafty except a bit of Cross Stitch and a emergency Anniversary card but that was Sis fault who forgot her DS first wedding anniversary. Can't believe it was a year ago where has the time go.
Mother is still hogging the hospital bed but Sis has been there two days on the row and has become her personal physio making her walk to the window or round the bed, she can do it and she is walking better than at home but she will only do it if you refuse to take no as an answer although Bro has told her that they looking into Nursing Homes and Dad says hes not going with her (don't blame him) so she been a bit more co-operative.
Well this weekend will be up with MIL and staying a couple of days longer than norm, now she is on her own OH feels he needs to do a bit more for her, with all her health probs she manages really well.
I already found a craft shop and have printed the route.
