Feeling poorly


Today I feel poorly. I felt poorly yesterday and the day before but last night I was up every house and I really couldn't go into work this morning. After yesterday, my colleagues refused to sit in the same office as me in case I spread my germs. So I am taking s couple of days annual leave to recharge my batteries and drip and cough in the comfort of my own home!

I think I have been so busy at work that I forget to look after myself. I know I barely get time to do my hobbies as I have a list of things still waiting completion at home. I have had to make some cards recently though and brave the freezing cold conservatory/craft room to play with sticky bits and glue.

I received my new Sugar Nellie stamps. I finally have had a chance to play and tried to take part in the Sugar Bowl challenge to create4 a card based on a sketch and using a button, two brads and three flowers. I didn't quite make it on some of them but this one turned out all right. These are the lovely Gorguss stamps. I still have to play with the Manga girls.






This last card was a wedding card for one of my work colleagues using a Magnolia stamp.

A long awaited makeover...

They say all things happen for a reason. However, we dont think of that when someting goes wrong, we only look on the downside.

" The computer said no !" I left for a few days until I received and email from a customer ( I dont get many, customers that is not emails) who stated hat she had ordered items but did not receive the download link. Oh dear, there really was somethng wrong with the site and I didn't know how to fix it. What I did know was how to create a new site, the previous one was three years old and I must admit it had lots of unnecessary files in the back that I was unsure whether I could delete or remove. I also wanted to update the design but was unwilling to mess up a live working site. You know the old saying, "if it's not broke dont fix it", well not i

Boudoir Photography or 'How to look Good Naked'

I love Gok Wan's show 'How to look Good naked', I seem to cry everytime when people get their self confidence to go for it! The photographs are always artfully posed and not actually showing anything indecent. When I atended Cheryl Johnsons Photography bootcamp earlier this year we learned about staging shots so although I had the therory, its rare that an opportunity arises for me to practice. When my daughter Michelle got married to Ben on 10th October this year, I went up to her bedroom with Michelle whilst the 'official' wedding photographer was downstairs. As she was getting ready Michelle was up for me posing her on their bed for a few photographs. Although not quite naked, she wore her wedding underwear which consisted of blue frilly pants, white stockings and her blue robot shoes. She had her tiara on and only needed her dress to finish off the outfit. I was so pleased with how this photo turned out that I had it made into a large canvas and presented it to

Stamperia Oriental Garden Album 10 x 12

 I love making mini books and albums at the moment.  This was an online class with Cal Summers from The Scrap Lab..  This design was originally called the Office Hours Book. its a long time since I made one so big, at 10 x 12 it only has three pages attached to the spine, but loads of layers and places for photos.  I haven't decided what photos to use for this one yet.  Walkthrough video here
