This is the first round robin that I've done for ages with Friends Who Count. I've had it back for at least a year, so this morning I decided it needed to be mounted and framed, and here it is!!! I'm mulling over the thought of doing another one, so watch this space !!!

Apart from this, I'm just about to start a CJ with Bubbly Funk. My theme will be 'Happiness Is'

and it's nearly ready for posting - at the end of September!. I'll take some pics when I've done the last few bits. I'm also about to start a 'dressing a calico doll' round robin/CJ with UKS. Never done anything like this before, so am a bit apprehensive! First posting for that is also the end of September and it starts out 'naked' so nothing to do as yet!!! In between times, to stop me getting bored, there's the Twinchies and inchies on BF and inchies on UKS! Bye for now. xx

I'm sure I must have more than these two cards to show you, but can't think what at the moment!!! These are the two for the 25 club on Bubbly Funk. The theme this month was to find inspiration from a picture, which was the bottom of a staircase, heaped with Christmas baubles! I'm not 100% pleased with the second one - my first freehand iris folding in a long time! The gold section is a lot brighter than it appears tobe!

Must go and find something to occupy me now, to take my mind off my driving test which is on Tuesday!!! Hope you will all keep your fingers crossed for me!!!! Bye for now.

As usual, it's been a lot longer than I intended since I last blogged!! It has been a stressful time though as I lost my mum on the 22nd June. It was expected, but still hard to come to terms with. We were up there at the time, and luckily made it for the last time that she 'awake' and knew that we were there. The following week we were back again for the funeral, which really did go as well as it could have. I find comfort in the thought that she is now with my dad.
Since then, I have finished some Christmas cross stitching that has been on the go for ages - I have done other things in the mean-time!! These are 6 little padded squares ready to hang up!

I've also done my cards for this month's 25th club on Bubbly Funk. The theme for these was 'angels'. I haven't any angel bits, but managed to find a couple of images to colour in!!

I've also got well ahead of myself and have done the pages for August and September for the 365 calendar challenge, again on bubbly Funk. Sorry that I haven't turned them round!!!!

Hope to see you again soon! Thanks for looking!! Bye for now.

Hello again. Today I've finished my 25th club cards for over on Bubbly Funk. So far, I'm up to date!! The theme this month was Christmas 'greenery' so I've gone with the pine cones and holly! I'm sorry that they are a bit 'samey' but the decoupage panels were there waiting to be done, so I did them!!!! Hope to be back soon! Bye.

Having had to redo half of my pages of the 365 calendar challenge, I'm relieved to say that they are all done and I'm now up to date, including pages ready for June! I think I must be in line for the Miss Swotty Knickers award????? Now to go and do a few more things on my list!! Bye for now!

I'm a little bit late this month for Bubbly Funk's 25th Club, but only one day which isn't bad!! I haven't seen anybody else's effort, so I still may be first!! The theme for this month was set by Gez and was to use red and green, and if possible use hand made paper or inchies. I had some serendipidy squares that I did ages ago, in the right colours, so I chopped it up into inchies and background paper!!! Hope you like!!

Well, I can't believe that it's been a week now since we were at the Bubbly Funk retreat. This was our second one, and just like the first we had the most brilliant time!! Lots of food and drink, SOME crafting, not too much sleep, but loads and loads of laughs!!! While there, I was overwhelmed by the work that Kaz does and after a bit of thought I decided to have a go at the following, so this is for you Kaz!! xx Unfortunately I didn't have the courage to really go for it, so it was done on a scrap of paper in pencil!!!! I am quite pleased with it, so will have to have another go now!! Hope you like it!
