Back Again?

OMG, where have I been since August 2009? I know I've been very busy so here's a few of the things I've been up to; successfully completed my university degree course, bought a caravan at Pease Bay (which we use at every opportunity) got a new job following a huge re-structure at work, squeezed in a few holidays and had a 60th birthday. That, plus precious time spent with friends and family has kept me away from blog world.

Tidying out my craft room a few weeks ago I was concerned about the amount of paper and card in my 'bit box' however speaking to crafting friends I realise it's part and parcel of the hobby that is paper crafting! To that end I've again resolved to use it up before acquiring more (which I think may be easier said than done) by entering a few challenges which are out there in the blogging world.

I've almost completed my first challenge card which I intended entering in the Crafters Companion Challenge No 8 but circumstances have dictated otherwise following a slip and slide in the snow on Friday night. Ironic that I was plastered before I had my first drink! Hopefully I can add the finishing touches despite my hand and arm being encased in a rather fetching plaster of Paris creation.

My First Challenge

Oh my goodness, where does the time go? We're into August and I'm only now entering a challenge - my first!!!!!!!! Fingers crossed I can now successfully create the link.

I liked the Bling idea in Creative Inspirations; my 6 year old granddaughter Eden loves pink, bling and cupcakes. She can mince about in my high heels with barely a wobble and applies her lip gloss without the use of a mirror. 6 going on 16?

I hope this first attempt will ease me back into my card making 'cos I've got a room full of goodies to get through ~ Irene x

Missing Mojo

My mojo has been gone too long so I'm hoping that joining in some card challenges will help me recapture it. Wish me luck!
