Hey Funghis!!

Hullo, Hullo,

What a wet and dreary day it is!!!

I'm stuck indoors today as I am waiting for a new bed to arrive, an ongoing saga I will be very surprised if it makes it here but to be honest I'm past caring!!! Grrr!!

Good job I was here though as my youngest is at home with a temperature and sore throat so will be passing him food and drinks on the end of a pole wearing a mask as I do not want the lurgy!!

Anyway I managed to sneak in my craft room to make a card using the sketch from Papertake Weekly designed by the lovely Dawny P!

I used another of my many Elzybells and for the first time used my Martha Stewart scissors to fringe the cardstock - what do you think? it's rather snazzy isn't it!!

Here is a different angle so you can see the fringey bits at their best.

It just so happens that the challenge over at Cupcake Crafts this week is to use Pink and Brown so I will enter it there also.
Now whilst I have been travelling around blogland I read about the fascinating "mushroom circles" or should I say fairy circles that have cropped up in Kim and Fayes gardens, well we have a large garden and I know we do get mushrooms so I wanted to have a look today to see if there were any in our's but the weather is awful so I thought I would show you a lovely pic of my Hibiscus Syriacus Bluebird that was in full bloom when we got back from our hols, isn't it lovely? It's one of my favourite flowers.

But look!!!!

Whilst I was searching for my flower photo, I forgot I had taken this a couple of weeks ago

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THESE.......

These are based at the bottom of one of our trees, isn't that one of the most massivest mushrooms in mushroom world you ever did see!!!!

If the rain lets up today I will go see if these Funghis have been playing around and produced more.... Watch this space!!!!

Well I hope the weather gets better and you all have an enjoyable weekend, mine will be filled with a Family meal, aerobics and taking my other halves Ford Transit Tipper for an MOT!!!

Yes I hear you gasp I am taking the truck for an MOT as he will be working!!

WARNING!!!!

Please stay indoors between the hours of 11.15 and 12.15 tomorrow morning and do not go anywhere near the Manor Royal as I will be driving the truck!!!!

Please lord let me get there and back in one piece and with no additional vehicles or members of public hanging off my bumpers!!

Toodle pop!

Patchwork Effect!!

Hullo, Hullo,

Yes I am still alive!

So many things to do and so little time,what with this lovely weather we are experiencing and plenty on the social calendar , I am afraid I haven't been around as much as I have wanted to lately - apologies everybody!

My card above is to be entered into the Penny Black Saturday Challenge - paper patch, my first thought was obviously something cutesie as I normally associate with Penny Black then remembered that I had recently purchased this lovely stamp from a friend and being a lover of Kraft combined the two!

A bit late I know as the challenge finishes tomorrow -doh!

Hopefully I will have some more cards to share as I do have a lot of birthdays at the moment - fingers crossed x

hope you are all well and hopefully will catch up with you all over the weekend at some point

Toodle pop!

PS not gonna even mention the football - don't want to upset me mate Debbie!

Fathers Day Card!

Hullo, Hullo,

How are you, enjoying this glorious weather are we? Isn't it fabulous just like being on holiday - well it would be if we didn't have to cook, clean, work and all the usual stuff us women do - all at the same time of course, multi taskers that we are lol!

I've not been around much lately as much as I would like to as I have just had no time to play especially when the sun is out, we like to spend as much time as we can in the garden making the most of it and what with lots of birthdays and catching up with family and friends where does the time go before we know it we will be half way through 2010!!!

Mind you I think I need to stay out of the sun as think I have cooked my brain - this week I have already missed a hair apt (much needed hair apt too), eyebrow shape and forgot about a school trip that my son was going on, luckily he remembered!!!

Anyway enough of my waffle, thought you might like to see the card I made for my Dad he loves his car and is always tinkering with it so I thought this image from Elzybells fitted quite nicely, quite a simple card really not much going on but it is rather a large image so I didn't think it needed much else.

Well that's it from me if you've been following the footie all I can say is PHEW!

oh yeah and toot toot or whatever them voo voo blowie things are called lol x

Toodle pop!
