Hi everyone sorry no card this week although OSSC have got a really nice theme "DO you beleive in Fairies" with Val being the Hostess & also a bit under the weather, all you have to do is follow the sketch & add a charm it's that easy and it is being sponsored by the Lovely Robyn's Fetish.

I would like to thank everyone who has been following me for the last 9 months and to everyone who has left me comments I wish everybody A Very Merry Christmas & Wonderful new year (only 2 more sleeps woo hoo) isn't it exciting. But like Santa Christmas eve is my busiest day so I'll be looking forward to spending Christmas day with the family at my son & daughter-in-laws house with her family too, so many grand parents to confuse the littles ones (2 grandads - 1 granny - 1 grandma & 1 nannie). Hope Santa is Kind to you all & really look forward to seeing you all in 2011. Janet

Hi a lovely crisp snowy Monday to everyone under the age of maybe 70, this is not a good time for the old, disabled or people with pushchairs. I feel sorry for the people up north who are having a really bad time of it and the people traveling in cars.
This week-ends Challenge on One Stop is Christmas Cuties selected by Lorraine.
I have been a bit tight and recycled a cred that my friend (new to crafting) sent me I have tried to show her ways to make her money go further by chopping cards like this that have the same background on the back but it hasn't worked yet, I have also added a snowflake button to finish it off.

What a lovely start

Hi everybody hope the weather is being kind to you, I would just like to share some of my good news with you but I don't want it to sound like I'm boasting.
First of all I've been struggling to get my Baby Cricut to go for a few weeks & finally caved in & phoned USA to get it fixed, I spoke to a lovely lady who took all the details then asked me for my Address which I thought was to check for registry then they told they would send me a new one, How kind is that.
Second - You know when your bored after you have face booked, Blog Hopped all your friends and done your E-mailing, I thought I would google my blog like I do sometimes only to find I have won the Blog Hop at Whimsy Stamps and if that wasn't shock enough I also found out I won a stamp at the Fairy Knoll Blog Hop too.

Challenge #105 - Pop - Up's

Hi everyone hope you all have a lovely week-end it's my turn at OSCC for this weeks challenge which is Pop - Up's and it was certainly that (just Joking) I chose to do this Le Pashe Trinitage card that my friend Anne showed us all how to make & they are so easy. I got mine from Imag-e-nation and they also have a video in case you get stuck, the only things i added extra were the Poinsettia (mine will have survived a year in 2 weeks time woo hoo) and a snowman I hope you'll please come & join us. Take care Janet
