BIRTHDAY WISHES...

It was my next door neighbour Clare's birthday the other week and this is what I made for her...
 Card made using washi tape and a Stampin Up punch and stamps and the colour spritzer tool for a wee bit of distressing...
 
Stamp on the heart is from Unity...
 
I do have a rather sweet thing to show you but will have to wait til I pass it over as it's a present for my great nephew who was only born in September...very slow with the gift I know but I have been really busy with the kids, etc the last couple of months and not had much time for crafting lately...
 
TTFN and enjoy the weekend...another VERY busy one for us again!

MORE FINISHED PROJECTS...

 I found an upcycled wreath on Pinterest so I thought I would have a go...I really like how it turned out...I am toying with maybe a few more flowers at the bottom and would like to do a rolled one but I just for the life of me cannot do them...I always ending up throwing them across the room and swearing:0))
 


 This project is one I did when Sonja came over a couple of Sundays ago for a wee mini crop..just me and her!! She was working on a LO and I thought I would try something out of the Craft Stamper magazine...I usually get it, ooh and aah over everything for days and never end up trying anything out so I am pleased I managed to finish this...
 

They used a chipboard snowflake covered in glitter but I didn't have one so used this crochet one that I found in a Quirky kit that hadn't been used....
 
Thanks for looking...x

LIBBY'S 10TH BIRTHDAY...

Sunday was Libby's 10th birthday...
 
 On Saturday she had a joint skating party with her friend Isabelle whose birthday was the weekend before...they had a half hour coaching session which they thoroughly enjoyed...
 
 Then off they went under their own steam...Libby and Charley were naturals...I think that must be all the roller blading they have done in the last 6 or 7 months...
 
 Libby and Isabelle enjoying a silly moment!!
 
 This was the lovely cake that Carrie made for them...I did the invitations..see previous post for those...

 Oops a daisy...there was quite a lot of that!!!


All in all a very good party...so good that the girls and I went again yesterday...first time on the ice for nearly 30 years...eeek...and I have to confess to sticking close to the barrier...I did fall over and smack my knee on the ice which was quite painful but it seems okay today...
 
So that's the birthdays over for another year...now we just have Christmas and panto season to look forward to...this will be Libby's first year in panto and she is enjoying all the rehearsals so far and looking forward to performing....
