Back in the saddle....and a sketch challenge


So it's been a productive weekend as far as time spent with myself goes. Saturday and Sunday afternoon spent in the craft room. The first page I'd like to share is for The Kaisercraft blog. I haven't been blog hopping in ages and when I visited this one I was really impressed with what their DT are doing. Gorgeous stuff.
Anyways this is the sketch and my interpretation.
Another tractor pic....there are plenty more of these photos still.

This is my Dad and brothers on his 60th.


....and finally, my gorgeous husband.


Enjoy your week.

Bakers Dozen


I've just spent 3 hours (ok make that 4 now) trying to get these pics up here, which in comparison to the 3 1/2 months that I've been meaning too, probably isn't so bad.
Have been so busy and this is the first weekend in so long that I can remember having nothing planned. Gaz is at work and I even did the groceries last night so that I could have the day free.

I've also had my computer crash due to owning a 15 year old boy that doesn't realise what is and what isn't appropriate websites to look at on his mums computer. Even though we did a recovery it's been so messy and I still don't have everything back how it should be.
I don't have any contacts either, have lost them all. My email addy is the same if anyone wants to mail me so that I can get my contact list started again :)
Have quite an urge to get into my craft room ATM but it's such a pigsty that I cringe every time I walk past it. I have just finished making wedding invites for one of our boys wedding plus a 21st card for him and a card for someone having a baby and the mess just keeps piling up. I've also done a couple of classes and a set of cards, oh and some layouts just for fun too, since the last time I blogged. Am trying to work out a way to keep this blog more up to date with the timme I have but hopefully can put some more pics up shortly. Have had very little time to clean it and my room also seems to have turned in to a homeless shelter for every thing that no one knows where to put.

So anyways, here in alpha order are our 12 month Bakers Dozen efforts, layouts done on calico.
pretty gorgeous I think :)

***ones that I made***
FOR AGGIE
FOR AL

FOR JULES, the 1st page is a pocket and the 2nd pic shows the pages in the pocket
FOR JULIE

We also made tags to go with each of the layouts. I matched mine to the favourite colours of each lady.

THE TAGS THAT GO WITH THEM

Aren't they all gorgeous, so happy with them. I still haven't decided how I want to store them, what type of covers to make.
I also want to let everyone know how much I appreciated all the work that went into these and will treasure them for ever. Really enjoyed being a part of this, thanks ladies.

I did originally add these to my Ipad but couldn't work out how to upload pics to blogger from it. The whole point was to be able to blog while I'm at work (lunch break of course) of in the car etc. If anyone know how to do it can they please let me know.
