Last weekend I took part in a Charity Zumbathon and it was loads of fun, I threw myself into it and it really lifted my spirits! Anyway - the photos and info can be found here: http://zumbasurrey.co.uk/2013/07/03/doubly-grateful-for-such-zumbathon-experience/
Funeral
Today is my 42 year old Step Brother's funeral - this will be one of the hardest days of my life. He was too young.
Hey there little lady card
After the loss of my step brother I have been restless and found solace in some papercrafting. I wanted to do a papercrafting project that would have nothing to do with him, so no travel or holiday themes and nothing masculine. I have lots of sketches in my ideas book that I scribble in at… Continue reading Hey there little lady card
Father’s Day Card
Because of the recent sad loss of my step brother I wanted to make a very clean and simple Father's Day card for my step father. I used a white 6" x 6" square base card. I had some metallic papers in my stash from when I was at University in Liverpool that I purchased… Continue reading Father’s Day Card
Bereaved
I cannot believe I am having to write this. My parents found my 42 year old step brother dead in his house on Wednesday morning, the rest of the family now know, so I feel I can now tell the wider community. He was an indipendant and private man who loved to travel and whenever… Continue reading Bereaved
Sad news
I've had some very sad news this evening. It would appear that one of my friends has taken his own life today, my thoughts are with his family and his girlfriend whom I went to school with - they had been together since University and moved into thier own home last year.
Good Luck!
I have two male friends who are in need of 'good luck' cards this week - one who is defending his MSc project and another who is sitting his first year Medical exams. Because they are both male I decided I wanted to make the same card but with personal touches, such as the colours… Continue reading Good Luck!
Mermaid card
I went to stay with my Fairy Godparents (long story) in Devon last weekend and had a lovely time! I wanted to send them a thank you card with a difference... I had some circular apeture cards in my stash so I decided to use one of those so I could get in lots of… Continue reading Mermaid card
First flat
My best friend from school has just bought her first flat (which is tough at this time so I'm really thrilled for her!). I wanted to make her a card ASAP so it would arrive when her flat was still 'new' so I've gone for a very clean and simple card! I used an A6… Continue reading First flat
5th Birthday Card
My youngest niece had her 5th birthday this week and there was a family birthday party yesterday (it was also her granddad's birthday this week too!) Everyone had a lovely time. I took these photos of the card at the party because I had forgotten to take one earlier! I used the Whimsy Stamps 'Mystic'… Continue reading 5th Birthday Card
