Sorry, I have'nt been around

Good evening folks, sorry I have'nt been around during the last week, I have been contemplating whether to put on my blog why, but as I know you are all such lovely people, who I consider as friends, I feel very able to share my sad news with you. My brother Ian  passed away last Wednesday. He was only 19 and fought very hard in his battle against Leukemia. Although we were told to expect the worse, it still came as a shock when we found out.

I have been really down since then and Hubby and my Kids have been amazing. I spent yesterday afternoon in my craft room as Hubby thought it might help and yes, it did.  You hear people say that crafting helps to get you through the bad times and I can agree with this, as it did take my mind off things. Today, we have been to Lincoln  in the pouring rain with our daughter Sam and grandson Bradley and it was just what I needed. My little grandson really cheered me up, although bless him he did'nt realise that he was doing so, he was just being his usual happy little self.


Thought I'd show you a couple of cards I made a couple of weeks ago using Little Claire's Good Things, Wheelbarrow.

I'm going try and catch up with you all over the next day or so. Hope you are all well.

Big Hugs.

   

Sweet Pea, Dance of the Butterflies

Good evening folks, hope you're all happy and well.

I won some blog candy a few weeks ago from Lorraine  and this beautiful stamp was amongst it. I  stamped and coloured her a few days ago. What a pleasure to colour. So I thought I'd make a card with her this afternoon and it took me ages to find papers to match.  Note to self : in future choose papers first.

Just a quick post from me, off to catch up. Hope you all have a lovely evening.

Edited to say, I've been trying to comment tonight, but blogger won't let me comment on some peeps blogs, will keep trying though, sorry in advance,  if I don't manage it. 

Pollycraft Bingo

Good evening folks, well the begining of another week and that means it's Pollycraft Monday. I love these little cuties, especially the new Enchant and Explore Set.  I just could'nt resist them.

I'm entering this into Pollycraft Monday Challenge who have an embellishment bingo, I've chosen sparkle, tag & flowers. Sketch Saturday who have a fab sketch.

Before I go, would you like the chance to win some Little Claire stamps? Well over at Little Claire's you have a chance to do just that. All you need to do is pick your two fave cards and leave a comment to say which they are and you could win the stamps that made them. How good is that?

Right I've got pj's on, a big cup of coffee, feet up and looking forward to visiting you all.
