Making wishes

Hello all and I hope that your week has been a good one? I've been back at work (school) this week and very busy - not to mention trying to make things for a craft fair on Sunday! Although the fair this Sunday in Lancaster is one aimed at babies & toddlers, there are also things for everyone else, so I try to take a range of crafty things with me.  There is also another fair next week near Blackpool that I'm doing with a friend - so hoping that we manage to get some 'business' lol!

Just a quick post from me this evening - sharing a card I made a little while ago.  I keep trying to make some 'flatter' cards to save on the postage costs - and this one was made with one of the great LOTV sentiment stamps.  The papers are also from LOTV, and I've added some stitching and ribbon from stash

Quite simple - but quite sweet I think. 

I'm determined to get some more cards made this coming week - but there never seems to be enough hours in the day to do all the things we want to do. And I might have to wrestle my chair for my craft room back off youngest! He's decided that the little bedroom (aka my craft room!) is quite good for revising in and also that my chair is comfier than his! So not long ago I came home to find that it had spookily travelled across the landing and been installed in HIS room - and his old chair (now rather tired and battered from being used and abused so much in a teenage boy's bedroom) is now at my craft table! When I started to object I was greeted with the "You do want me to revise for exams don't you?".  Sigh.  Out of spite I might go and buy myself a MUCH better chair lol! 
Hope you have a good weekend whatever you have planned,
Back soon,
Kim x

  3. This is lovely KIm - I just bought this stamp set recently - it's great for all kinds of cards. your chair story is sort of me in reverse! my oldest son left home to live in Edinburgh last year, though he comes to visit and stays in 'his' bedroom. However I've decided that his is a perfect craftroom so I've evicted all his stuff and taken over his lovely cupboards , desk, shelves and chair (i have given him the other bedroom!!) - now all I need is to get my stuff in there! hugs Judith x

  10. Fabulous card Kim - love the stitching and beautiful colours.
    My son also thinks my crafty haven is the best place to revise and do practice papers - think it must be the clean and tidy and light and airy environment - unlike his cramped and whiffy space lol!!!!
