Here's to LIFE !

30 years ago I was in a coma, and I was not expected to survive. When I did the dr told my parents that with the problems I had/have I could only reasonably expect to live for 2O years.

So today for a special treat myself and my mother went to Thats Crafty. It was our first visit there. We spent 45 mins in a traffic jam just trying to get onto the M25, it was quite a journey! It also turned out to be very tricky to find as its on a industrial estate!

Luckily we also took my portable ramp as there was a high step at the entrance. They are thinking of having a ramp put in soon, so that's really good .It was a nice shop with lots of quality goodies to tempt me.

Here are the lovely goodies I treated myself to.

A round gelli plate, a non stick craft mat, and some stamps and a stencil!

Afterwards we had a pizza, and I had a Prosecco and made a toast, I did not die and I have outlived the Drs prediction.

We toasted LIFE

 

Happy 2016

Yesterday I received a surprise invite to join the Design Team at Mixed Media Mojo ! I of course accepted, and I am looking forward to it, the ladies there are all so talented. Thank you so much for the invitation.

Now I must put my creative thinking cap on !

 

Snow Storm

Oh dear the little hare has been caught in a fierce snow storm. He doesn't mind though as it is Christmas Eve, and he is excitedly looking up to the sky for a first glimpse of Father Christmas and his Reindeer!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Christmas Shopping Card

This card is for my Mother, we enJOY going shopping together. Unfortunately nobody makes a stamp of a lady in a wheelchair, so on the card I am walking along! I could of course draw a lady in a wheelchair, but these stamps are so cute I had to use them!

Thanks so much for looking.

Downton Abbey Card

Oh dear, it's the last Downton Abbey ever this Christmas! What will we do..

I made this wintery Downton Abbey scene in tribute to the long running show. I am going to make several more of these scenes, so I can turn them into Christmas cards for friends who I know love Downton Abbey.

I think Edith is going to marry Bertie in the last show, don't you?

Sorry I think I may have taken the photo a bit askew.

Thanks so much for looking.

Christmas Mug

 

 

I made this Chirtsmas Mug as a gift. I just added tea bags in the mug to take the picture. Later I am also going to add one of those spoon stirrer thingies, you know the spoons which have chocolate on the end with embedded marshmallows in.

I will then wrap it in cellophane.

I used

Lavinia Stamps, dye inks, card, and glossy accents to make the mug.

Thanks so much for looking.
