Playing nicely!!!

Hi,
I have been playing nicely... My daughter has had this teacher that has been training teaching their class for the last so many weeks and she really has been brilliant! She seems to have a knack at explaining things in a way that my daughter gets totally the first time... which we can't say about her usual teacher. So, all good things seem to come to an end, this teacher is leaving today and a pressie was needed... I found this lovely little key ring with a book on that has 'the best teacher' and lots of lovely appropriate quotes and this is what I made to put it in... and I really did play nicely...

We have 'clock sports' (our equivalent to sports day... which I still don't understand, I don't get all this 'losing damages kids self-esteem' lark... I mean how do they learn to cope with being out in the 'big world' when they can't lose in school?????). Anyway, the sun in nowhere to be seen today... isn't that unbelieveable? I mean it's been glorious here all week!!!! Very disappointing! It hasn't been overly warm but the sun's been shining!!!

Have a lovely day...

Good Morning!

Hi,
Isn't this weather lovely? When the suns shining when I get up, I always seem more enthusiastic to get moving in a morning, don't you?
This morning I made this litte card... based on Laura's sketch # 54 over at 2 Sketches 4 You.... as usual I loved working with it. Again I am digging into my box of bits and bobs that I need to use up... I really enjoyed playing along!

I am actually going to use this card to write a note to my Aunt who is currently having a course of chemo at the moment... I thought I had some rub on's with thinking of you on them but I can't find them anywhere... how irritating!! It's horrible living so far away because you can't just pop round... my OH is so bloody awkward as well when I am trying to organise visiting. Not that he comes with me, or has the kids.... Men!!!!!!!! I won't moan any more!

I am hoping for another play tomorrow morning!

Hope you have a lovely day.

Mojo Monday

Hi,
My card today is a cute teddy bear... inspiration coming from this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch #142. I used DCWV paper, a bazzill cardstock border ... always seems to take me longer to make male cards!!!!

I seem to have some Promarkers follow me home from Hobbycraft today... am hoping to get some crafting time in the morning so that I can have a play with those!

Anyway... short but sweet today.

Hope you are having a good one!

2 Sketches 4 You

Hi,
Where does the time go? I made this card using papermania papers, an image my mum gave me ... and inspiration from 2 Sketches 4 You Kazan's sketch 54. I wanted to keep it pretty simple...

I am hoping to have a trip to Hobbycraft in the morning... I seem to have had no time to myself at all over the last week. I love a stroll around a craft shop... I find I buy more stuff for the kids from Hobbycraft these days because they are always with me, so I thought I'd have a trip there on my own. Treat myself!

Hopefully I will find some time to play later in the week... does anyone else have a problem finding time for yourself?

2 Sketches 4 You

Hi,
Having the children at home is keeping me pretty busy... which translates into 'no time for myself'.... this morning I was determined to make at least one card and for some unknown reason it ended up a Christmas card! My inspiration came from Laura's Sketch #53 at 2 Sketches 4 You. Very simple, I think... I like it... The patterned paper is DCWV... one of those pads that seem to go on forever.

The sun is shining here today. It always makes me feel better when there is some sunshine. Today we have to go to Ikea in a little while to get a cupboard for the kids room... I don't like furniture shopping but I love going to Ikea... what a great shop! I always spend a fortune on strange stuff mostly for the kitchen!!!! or storage!!!!! Today I am going to watch my spending... I need a trip to a craft shop for some sticky stuff so if I watch my spending today I'll have more to spend at the craft shop!

Hope you have a lovely day

Hugs

Kim
