First parchment bookmark



Hi guys,

Well here is my very first parchment bookmark. The parchment is attached to the silver mirror board with the yellow ribbon.....yes it is silver not blue. Which reminds I really have to tip my house upside down to find the leads to my camera so I can get better quality pictures. Back to the bookmark, I then attached the silver mirror board to gold mirror board. Used my lovely corner cutters. It is really late so I had to fight with the crop-a-dile for the eyelet. I prefer to use the BANG BANG! ( hammer) more fun. Then just added more yellow ribbon and inserted it all into the plastic cover.

Hope you like this bookmark.

The sulk!

Hi guys,


In the previous post I made a desk calendar for my best mate. Well companies are cutting back and not giving the usual gifts away at Christmas and these are getting a bit thin on the ground. So my darling other half loved the calendar I made and asked for one (but not in pink.........yes I was tempted to his in pink). S of course I said yes, yes will do one. The sulk started and the nagging. Men say that women can nag well this is so untrue. This weekend I fnally got to sit down and do one for him......had to shut him up somehow.......

I had to put his name on it somewhere so that no one would take it. I made him a cross stitch coaster for his desk and it took a walk.

Easel cards


Hi guys,


I have seen the lovely easel cards and calendars that everyone is doing and well........I had to join in. My best friend is having a hard time at work at the moment and I wanted to do something for her so that she could at least smile once a day at work. So I made her a desk calendar.
I used the Smirk stamps and a parchment heart and of course the pink coloured papers that I have had in a cupboard for years.
I hope you like this.

Something new



HI guys,




I needed to do something for a mate at work and what do you buy for someone who has everything.? Sue is a very keen gardener so I wanted to do something with that theme and also she loves candles. Yes........the brain started to work even if it was for a couple of seconds. So I decided to try something new to me and that was to stamp on a candle.


So here is my atempt at stamping on a candle.
