White as white can be


With a touch of black...oh and ME
This morning we woke up to a rather white Garden..
Which was so nice as we have not seen snow for the last five years
Tasmin on the other hand has not seen snow at all...
So we was intrigued on how she would deal with it...
I have to admit it made us laugh... she went bounding out of the door
and just stood in her tracks..unsure on wether to move or walk
anyway one paw moved... out of the snow...and slowly went into a fresh area
Then I think she decided all was safe..and that was that
Off she went..and never came in for at least an hour...
After about 20 minutes I gave in and went out with her...
And this is what we got up to.. Yes I AM a big kid
We made a snowman.. I do say the Royal WE
but if I am honest Tasmin did help  she dug some snow..and nudged the small ball of snow with her nose to start Mr snowman off,, and don't you think she looks quite proud of herself..lol

There she is...saying bye as it was time to go in...or at least I thought so
My hands where rather cold and my feel a little chilly.. 
We did have fun though...
We have a larger snowman in the front garden also..which Hannah made this afternoon..
I will take a pic of him in the morning... as long as he is still there...

Right that's it from me... I am going to go and spend some time with
Ben and Jerry..
Thanks for stopping by

Twinkle Twinkle twin star

How are you all this nice and cold Friday..
Oh I wish I was in Portugal...lol
I thought my day was a free day yesterday
but not to be in the end.. my nephew is moving away on Saturday
so spent the afternoon with him... treating him to a few last bits he needs for the new PAD
(he told me I was old when I said that !!!)
I made two cards yesterday... 
yes you guessed it for Paul's mum... I started on one of mine but was asked to help !!
I just can't say no... here they are


The stars were ready to go onto the cards, I just had to work out the layouts
to get them on there.. so left them fairly simple.. very simple really..
I was so in the mood for colouring, but did none.. 
Today I don't feel at all well, and I am going back to bed
once I have seen Hannah to school, and Walked the dog
maybe after the long walk I will feel better.. but I can hear my bed calling me
achy bones, and feeling rather chilly..
Time for me to go.. Hopefully I will have something a little more cute to show soon
Thanks for stopping by xx


***edited ... I have changed my wallpaper back..as Not everything was fitting in nicely
 Will sort it out when better.. ***

Just me..

I have redecorated once again... why your asking... the other was fine
and I do agree...but I found out tonight that someone else has the same wallpaper..
so I said I would change mine... I have brilliant news too
I have won some blog Candy... two paper stacks...yes two

one for a boy and one for a girl...new baby at that... just in time for the next grandchild to be born!!!
and no I am not old enough to be a proper Grandma...I am just a stepgrandma...
I so can not wait until they arrive.... maybe mr mojo will be posted with them...
just thought I would share that with you... I have just had a sneaky look on the calendar in the kitchen
And guess what...tomorrow looks like it could be a good day for crafting !!! 
so fingers crossed I manage something

What did I do wrong

I seem to have lost a follower.. maybe it was something I said...or didn't say Sorry to have lost you..
Anyway I am around..just not crafting... I have a hectic life at the moment trying to keep the peace and do as I am told.. so not crafting..
I am now a very good Taxi driver though...lol

I really should take some time out and colour and make a card... I really must, I keep seeing others cards and thinking wow... just don't seem to be able to get ME time... or enough of it on my own to concentrate without someone looking over my shoulder telling me I should do it this way or that...
I have made this card though.... not for me...for Pauls mum

 It actually came out better than I thought it would... seen as I am just using up odd pieces of card
to go along with Paul's mums sewing



The Peel off.s actually finish the card this time..it looked too bare with out
Right I have to go... I have lots to do as normal...and not enough time to do it
Thanks for stopping by

Before I forget..

I would like to say a huge huge Thank you for my amazing Scarf
 Toni over at My World Sort Of had a candy last month..and I was the VERY lucky winner..
It came last week the day the PC broke... I have to say it is amazing.. I have used it everyday from the day it arrived.. It keeps me so warm while walking Tasmin.. Who at this moment in time is going nutty... yes she is.. why your asking... well I have just got said scarf and taken a picture.. to Tasmin that means...WALK..lol
Bless her..she is now sat at the kitchen door waiting..
Anyway here is the Scarf

The colours are amazing..and the way it is knitted!!!   WOW
It made me want to have a go at knitting a scarf myself... so off I have been to a yarn shop and bought wool
fluffy black wool..and I have started to knit my own... I chose black as I am really knitting it for Hannah to use at school...as I keep telling her NO YOU ARE NOT USING MINE...yes she wants my NEW scarf
anyway here is the start of the scarf
Very black and shiny..
Once again I would like to say a HUGE Thank You to Toni
I LOVE IT
