Found the cable

It was where it should be, in the laptop bag! Should never really tidy up should I?! This is the photo of my cakes from last night's class. And I have to say they were absolutely delish! May have to make some more now.......

So, it's Wednesday and I know that there's a whole Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday thing goes on. I sat down to make a card earlier, so I thought I'd share with you what the table looked like before I started.........

Anyway, out of that chaos, I managed to create this..... It's for my friend who had a baby girl last night at 9.20pm. Baby Maya Lily weighed in at 7lb 9oz. It's been a long haul for Kate and Steve so I'm so chuffed that Maya is here now and I'm sure that Jake will make a fantastic big brother. I've used the Ladybug Crafts Ink Baby Baby stamp, coloured with promarkers and copics. Labels are cut out with nesties and the 3 strips of pink card have been embossed with Swiss Dots. The wee sentiments are from the Stampin Up set Tiny Tags and punched out with the jewelery tag punch.

I'm in the mood for some more card making tonight so you never know what I might come up with. Although I may have to tidy the table first......

See you tomorrow.

It was on a Monday morning...

that the gas man came to call. Again. Another Monday, another family friendly gas appointment. This time I think the boiler may be fixed! Let joy be unconfined :) I used the time productively though. Did a bit of housework, hung a wash out cos it was a lovely day. Made some lentil soup. Well, it would have been lentil soup if I'd had any lentils so it's just vegetable. Still tasty but not what I was after :(

After all that I treated myself to a spot of crafting. Made some of my swaps for the Stampin' Up! field training that I'm going to on Friday. It's my first training with them and I'm very excited about it!

I had to clear all my stuff off the dining room table so it's currently sitting in the washing basket until I unpack it all again and get on with some more later.

I promised the other card I made for my Aunt and here it is. This is the second time I stamped and coloured the wee baby, didn't like it the first time so I started again. This is definitely my favourite of the two cards I made.

TFL.

Where are they?!

The housework fairy and the ironing fairy that is. They seem to have abandoned this house.... And that's before we start on the state of the dining room table. Ah well, creativity comes at a price :p Busy day today. Church this morning and then have just had to drop Craig at a birthday party and come back to the house. Bit of a breather then Scott has a swimming lesson between 3 and 3.30 (which Craig would also have if he wasn't at the party) so I have to leave Andy and Scott at the pool, come back for Craig and then go back for them.... Think I'll deserve an evening crafting after all that. Never mind the housework (again). This is one of the cards I've made for my Aunt. She has two new great-grandaughters who are being baptised within a week of each other - think they were born close together too. Unfortunately it's the same branch of the family - the dads are brothers, so I had to do two different cards. Thankfully it gave me an excuse to go to Craftworld and buy the Ladybug Crafts Ink Baby Baby set of stamps. I just love them, they're so gorgeous (and I'd been looking for an excuse for ages to buy them). Image is coloured with Promarkers and cut out with Oval Nesties. Paper and card from stash (no idea where it's from though), the card candy is by Craftwork Cards. I also blinged up her pram wheels with stickles and some gems. I'll show you the other one tomorrow - which is possibly my favourite of the two.
