Hi guys and girls
Just thought I would let you all know that I have moved into my new place, all settled in and straight (at last!). Still a few bags and boxes to unpack (mainly craft stuff as I have nowhere to store it at the moment) but will get to that eventually no doubt.
First week in the new place is over and we're all set for Christmas. That was one of the first things I purchased, a Christmas tree! We bought a lovely shiny black one and put black roses on it and twinklies etc, it looks fab!
Lianne and Lewis have settled in although Lewis is missing his daddy terribly so I try to make sure that they get to see each other as often as possible so that neither of them feel like they are missing out. I have been missing Steve, but I am sure that it is a natural feeling, after spending so long together, and that things will get better with time.
I just wanted to add a thank you for all of your lovely emails and cards wishing us all well and to thank you all for your kindness and support, it certainly is true what they say, you find out who your real friends are in times like this.
Love to you all and I hope to post another message soon, but if not, Merry Christmas everyone and a very happy, healthy New Year.
I love this image so much. Not sure who it's made by as I was sent these images. Kept it simple by mounting it on orange to match the sunflower and then mounting again onto brown cardstock, not two of my favourite colours but I think this worked rather well. Added black and gold mini gemstones to the corners to complete. Wording at the bottom was given to me by (adopted mum) Julie.
I love this bear. Again, images were sent to me by a friend of a friend which I coloured in using pencils and hand drew the border around the outside. The 'I Love You' writing at the bottom is my own handwriting too which I highlighted in areas using a white pencil to add depth. He's gorgeous isn't he???
Before I continue adding pictures to my blog, I just wanted to add a little note to let everyone that my beloved Abi-Normal passed away in January. She is at Rainbow Brigde with my never forgotten Digger and is at peace now. Sadly, she had a brain tumour and despite the vet's best efforts to make her comfortable she never recovered. She will always forever be in our hearts. God bless Abi, sweet dreams my baby.
This is another offering from the wonderful world of Penny Black. I love these mice and they were sent to me by Sarn, many many moons ago. I finally found a way of incorporating them into a Valentine's Card. I think they came out rather well with the flower and gem stone embellishments.
I made this Valentine's Card for my boss who wanted something special and handmade for his beloved Jayne. Hope he likes it. He has also added a personal poem inside, but it's too personal for me to add to my blog, just in case she should happen to see it before Valentine's Day. Image is Whipper Snapper.
