Rock Choc(olate)

Another fab image from Sarn, which I made for one of my friend's daughter's who will be doing her GCSE's soon. Thought she'd like this image as it's quite funky and she LOVES chocolate! Coloured her with black hair as my friends daughter has black hair too. The black dots on the pillow are adhesive pearls. The rest of the image has simply been coloured in with pencil as I didn't have time to decoupage.

Bubbles Everywhere

Here's a fab image that my best friend Sarn sent me, isn't she great? (both Sarn and the image, of course!). She's from Pink Petticoat and I think it's lovely. Coloured with watercolour pencils and added glitter to the bubbles. The gold spots on the cardstock were already there but I thought it went well with the image. I've had it for about three years and never used it. The yellow border card, I just cut a strip from the edge and slipped the white stamped image through it before taping it down. Just thought it was something different!

Christina's Farewell

I also made another A4 card for Christina who's also leaving work before Easter. She's a music teacher and plays the piano (and cello amongst other things) beautifully. I thought this card would make her smile. I love this Penny Black (Joyful Abandon) stamp. How cheeky are those cats???

Here's one I whippe(r snappere)d up!

I made this A4 card for one of the girls who's leaving work soon. She loves cats and this Whipper Snapper cat should put a smile on her face. Coloured with watercolour pencils and mounted onto lilac card, co-ordinated with the letters which I cut out manually. I added a single flower and some eyelets in the corners.

Shaz's Card

I made this card for Sharon to cheer her up. I hope it did the trick and didn't get too squashed in the post? I copied Sarn's diamond fold which I googled and found a great site that explained everything really well. Used an array of stamps on this one.

I hope things get better soon Shaz and that everything works out okay?

New cards

I did manage to make a couple of new cards yesterday and today, but I haven't posted them to my blog yet as I haven't heard if the recipients have received them yet. As soon as I know I'll put them on as I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Lewis...

Took Lewis to the doctors today, he has gastroenteritis and a possible grumbling appendix. The doctor said that the gastro should clear up in a day or two if I starve him (which is no easy task with a boy that has a man's appetite)!

He said I'll have to keep an eye on the stomach pains because if they get any worse or Lewis starts getting too distressed I'll have to take him back to the doctors for another assessment. I hope my little man will get better soon, he looks so 'gray' and his eyes are quite dark and bloodshot!

Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know how he was getting on.

I blame Sarn...

It's all her fault!!!! The other night, Sarn and I were chatting away on Skype, as you do, and we got onto the subject of Guns 'n' Roses and Whitesnake etc etc etc. Anyway, after discovering that we both have a passion for Axl, Slash and Dave and after Sarn nearly cut off her leg (shaving while head-banging - not a good idea) and I fell off my stool a few times at the computer, we both went to work the following day with splitting headaches, (and not a drop of alcohol involved) a few extra bruises and WHITESNAKE blaring through the mediocre speakers that car manufacturers feel fit to dump on us. Anyway, I can now listen to nothing else and I think I have upset the builders at the end of the road because they keep telling me to turn the music down. Except... this afternoon. Coming home from work, I drove past them and they shouted out, "Oi, Rock Chick, turn it up" and everyone who happened to be around at the time (it was lunchtime and very busy), turned to look at me! My car is deep red and I think for the first time ever (except for when I dyed my hair red) I must've colour co-ordinated with my car because all the builders started laughing. So I thought... knickers! and I cranked the volume right up and started singing at the top of my lungs... wait till tomorrow morning. I have a little surprise for them! The pics for you Sarn... sweet dreams!

PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)

Well, I've just posted three letters, each stating that I would like to add Lianne to the Schools' Continued Interest list and when I got home I had already received a letter from Lianne's second choice school to state that she was number 41 on their list!! So that's all good!

I am keeping a positive mental attitude to this whole thing and hopefully (as Sarn knows) my belief in fate will come through and if she does get a place at any of her three choices then that's just because FATE has stepped in and she's actually MEANT to go to the school they've allocated her to and that she will probably excel there just as well if not better. I KNOW that this will all end up the way it's meant to be and hopefully she'll be happy.

She went to school this morning with the idea that she was okay with the Admissions decision and therefore she would try and help her friends (who aren't as accepting or happy) to try to come to terms with their emotions and to try and think positively about all the movement that's going to happen between now and September. Ain't she great???

Hoppy Easter

Another great Whipper Snapper design. Got bored of making Christmas cards so I made this rather cute little Easter card instead, seeing as it's only a few weeks away. I'll give this one to my boy! Hopefully it'll cheer him up, although I'm hoping that he'll be much better by then. Unfortunately though, there does seem to be an awful lot of bugs going round at the moment. Coloured with felt pens and the ribbon came off of a birthday cake!!!
