Hi Everyone

Not a good start to the day really today....I have just spent over 2 hours on the phone with the Virgin Team trying to regain internet access that has been lost since yesterday morning. After crawling around behind desks un-plugging and re-plugging cables we are finally back on. So I headed straight here to do my post and.....the camera battery is flat so I can't take a "this morning" picture...ARRRggghh!

I do have a couple of this weeks makes that I can share with you though.
Today is our 20th Wedding Anniversary, so here is the card I made for Him Indoors!

Last weeks visitors may remember that I was having a lot of trouble with my Forever Friends black and gold disc. Well I did eventually get a response from Docrafts....but only an email asking me to send them a screen shot or the file I was trying to print, and I have not received any further assistance from them :-(   at all. I have taken matters into my own hands and found a way to use my DSA2 program to access and store the images from the CD so I can use them. To anyone else in this position I would recommend this as I can now use the DSA2 program to manipulate the images and get much more out of the artwork than I ever would have using the DoCrafts Software.
I then went on to make this card for my neice's birthday at the end of January. I am going to have to be careful....I am getting far too organised here!

Sorry you can't have a snoop around the desk this week, but I will make sure I am all charged up for next weeks visit. I hope to be able to visit more desks this week, last week was a bit hectic..(internet permitting). If you have no idea what all this desk snooping is about head on over to Stamping Ground and on Julia's blog you can find out all about it and get links to be nosey on everyone else's blog too.
Have a good day !

Happy New Year WOYWWers!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Our house was struck down with Flu......the amount of boxes of tissues I have bought over the last 3 weeks....well...just don't go there. I hope the rest of you managed to stay lurgy free and have a fun time with loved ones.

Because of the lurgy I have been forced to declare today a Housework Day. (Sorry about the bad language!). The house is a tip, well perhaps not that bad to an onlooker, but to me it is bad and is starting to annoy me, but of course it isn't worth clearing up unless I have first taken down the deccies. To do it the other way would mean glitter and tinsel everywhere and having to clean twice....not going to happen, so I am in for a busy day.

Craft wise nothing much happened over the break, too busy tending the sick.
 I did manage to do my Cousin's 60th card yesterday, (see last post), but still have our anniversary card to do. I was going to use papers and images from my Forever Friends Black and Gold CD...had the design in my head, but found that the CD works fine...until you come to print and then it doesn't want to know. After Googling I see lots of people have had this problem, and like me no one seems to be able to get an email response from Docrafts......here we go again...more hassle.
Here is my desk this morning....as you can see it really needs a tidy too....Julia...I even have uncleaned stamps, a first for me!

Hi to all new followers. If you are wondering what the heck is going on here, shoot on over to Stamping Ground, Julia's blog, where a group of us all share our workspace each week for a bit of fun and a nose around.

Welcome to New Followers!!

Well...that's Christmas done and dusted I guess.....can't say I am sorry to see the back of it this time though. We have all been ill all over Christmas so I can't wait to get the deccies down and get back to normal. Such a shame when we spend so much time planning and organising it. To all of you who have suffered similarly...my commiserations.

To those visiting as a result of the Feline Playful- give a comment receive a comment, become a follower, receive a follower....welcome to my blog, I hope you like what you see. I am behind in my visiting because of illness, so I am adapting the rules slightly and am working my way through the list in my own way. I do hope no one minds this, I will visit everyone on the list...I promise. I have already found some new blog friends and some very interesting blogs.

I have just finished my card to my Cousin who is 60 years old on the 14th January. I am having trouble getting my head around this as it has really made me realise that I am getting old! Ron was always like a brother to me as we were very close to his parents, they were surrogate Grandparents to me really. It just doesn't feel right that his is about to hit the big 60! I don't think he is a blogger, so I am safe to post a picture now. Hope he likes it! Couldn't resist getting a little dig in on the inside.....wording reads "Congratualtions...you are Vintage!"

Hello Everyone.......I have a totally un-Christmassy post for you today. I feel like I have done Christmas to death over the last few months, and several male members of the family are inconsiderate enough to have their birthdays around now...so it was back to the ordinary to put my thinking cap on. I really don't enjoy doing male cards, especially as non of ours seem to be particularly interested in anything in particular, so there is never an obvious theme to go with. Anyway here is what I came up with for them:-

There was also a football based card for my Brother In law (how original!), but in my hurry to get it in the post I forgot to photograph that one.

Now I need to get my head into anniversary mode. It is our 20th anniversary in January so I need to get creative for that.

Merry Christmas everyone. Pop over and check out the other desks on The Stamping Ground.

I won!

Just a very quick post to say thanks to Spyder, she suggested that I enter this card in the Quirky Crafts Challenge...and I just found out I won! Thanks for your encouragement Spyder. Merry Christmas Everyone!

P.S....post amended as I mistakenly thought it was Chrissie that suggested entering the card and she has bought it to my attention that it was in fact Spyder... apologies Spyder :-/
