long lost friend

that's how my craft room felt when I ventured inside it this week. I've done two pages in the last couple of days.

This one is my husbands aunt and uncle and a belated Christmas gift. I framed it in a white Bazzill shadow box and it looked really pretty.

....and my flower fettish continues, so many gorgeous ones available - and isn't that punch gorgeous:)

I also want to say congrats to Debbie for her honourable mention in this years Masters. Awesome page Deb.

Love is in the air

Here's this months project for the Daisy & Dandelion blog.

This month it's Valentines Day and I've used a cute D & D paper pad.

My holidays have started today so hopefully I will be getting a little more productive in my craft room.

I'm also in a Bakers Dozen group with a bunch of Geelong ladies. We went out for coffee last week and I can't wait to get started.

Happy New Year!!!!

This is my new year project for the Daisy & Dandelion blog. Click on the link and have a look at the gorgeous stuff the rest of the DT have done this month. It's a bit late being posted but I've been without a computer on and off for a couple of weeks.

My poor PC died :(

We went shopping last week to get a new hard drive and came home with this baby - a 23"HP Touchsmart - its gorgeous but I'm having trouble getting my eyes to adjust to the size of the pages. My husbands eyes were ogling it as soon as we walked into the store.

We also updated my Photoshop version, according to the salesman, a case of loading the new one on and it will automatically pick up all my photos from the last one. WRONG!!!! After a few hours of panic that I'd lost all my photos that naturally I had failed to back up, my husband was able to find them on a file someplace hidden :) on my external drive.

I have heaps of craft to show. Mainly chrissy cards but I scanned them and the file is on my old PC so I quickly took some pics of the ones I hadn't sent off yet.

This is an advent calendar I made and gave to my mum. It's made with graphic 45 papers, a kaisercraft calendar and t!m holz crackle rock candy. I copied this :) from Cassie. The papers fit perfectly to the calendar.

Cassie - I can't seem to find anything on your blog - have you changed it? Can you leave me a link in the comments please so I can add it on here for everyone to see your gorgeous crafts.

This page is one of my hubbys and my wedding certificate. I was mucking around one day on the puter and made the background paper with lyrics.

A lot of the baggies and tags I made I had already gifted and forgotten to take photos. The little houses I made 5 of and love them, will def make more - i got the template from the Magnolia magazine.

I did most of my cards as gatefold cards this year, found it was quite simple and got through them pretty quick.

These pics were taken on chrissy eve and were quite rushed - the quality is not so good.

I can't believe it's nearly a month

since Ive posted anything here.

I have finally got my internet back to normal but haven't had any desire to be near my computer at all...just needing a bit of a rest from it.

I discovered a new love. Once I'd had enough of waiting for my internet to be fixed and declared my computer a no go zone, I rediscovered reading. So much reading that my husband bought me a Kindle (an electronic book reader). Since I started reading again, I've been more relaxed than I can remember being in so long.... I love love love my Kindle :)

We got a new car a couple of weeks ago. Had talked about it for a couple of months now and my little thing was getting a bit old. We got a Mazda 3 and it's so nice - very happy with our choice.

The past couple of weeks I've had some of my cards accepted for publishing, which is exciting, i had never thought about subbing cards before. Glad i did now :)

This page I've done for this month design team project for Daisy & Dandelion. The theme is christmas but I wanted to avoid making a card which seemed like the obvious item to make.

The photo is Jord...I should say Jordy cause that's what he's insisting everyone call him lately.

I also had a much around trying to make some simply table decorations. When I say simple I was trying to think of things that took less than 5 minutes to make cause this time of year can be so hectic.

I made some little windmills and made some napkin rings. The can also be used to hold christmas crackers and were so quick to make. I've used Glitz glue glitter and Daisy & Dandelion stickers for these. I stuck the sticers onto white card to make them stonger and then cut them out. The windmills can also be glued to straws for chrissy drinks. I also made some name place cards and place mats which I will get some pics of and post this week.

Aaarrrrggghhhhh!!!!!!!

So my internet is driving me insane. We were supposed to be ported over to our new provider on the 9th Oct, but are still waiting!!!

First I will say sorry that I haven't visited any blogs lately and left comments for all the gorgeous work I usually see. I just can't stand to be on my computer at the moment. It really is taking me at least 10 minutes to open one page.

I have some photos of this months Daisy and Dandelion project. I've made a Halloween card and done a little bouncy pop out thing in the middle. The instructions are here if you want to have a try.
