Hi Everyone, I know that some of you (those of you who have been able to watch my videos) are probably accustomed to my Technique Tuesday's by now. Unfortunately, as many of you are probably aware, I was out of the country for nearly 3 weeks and then this week have been really tied up with catching up at work and trying to cope with the mess of the electric fire and flooded basement since I got home. Consequently, I have not been able to record any videos for you. Therefore, I have another card to share with you this... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Monday night. I hope you all had a great weekend. I am pleased to report... Huston.... we have heat..... YEP!!!! Finally, we have a working furnace and it is pushing out warm air! Oh Yeah! Now, I have to admit, we tend to keep the house cool - as Brenda will attest :-) Generally in winter it is set to about 62 degrees. So, cold by many standards, but perfect for us.

Hi everyone. Happy Saturday. Tonight's card was the one I created for the Paper Players Challenge #25. It is Nance's turn to host the challenge this week and she designed this great sketch for us to work with. Now, the key thing about this sketch.... if you don't like circles - no problem - use any shape you like. You can see that I decide to use one circle - and then an entirely different shape. I managed to make 3 cards today. It was great to sit down at my space and actually create something. It took a little... Read more →
Sometimes...... you just gotta believe - Feel Good Friday
19 November 2010
Hi everyone Whether you use the term "guardian angel", "fairy godmother", "the fates", "the universe". Whether your beliefs tend to the secular or spiritual, there are times in ones life when many of us will say "someone was watching over me, that day!" Well, last Tuesday was that day for us. Lou and I were out in the middle - literally - of the Atlantic Ocean. Nearly 1000 miles from the nearest piece of landmass. Half way between the European and North American continents. With no cellphone connection (so we discovered!) I kept saying to Lou..... do you have any... Read more →
