stamp something

and she made a card.................I spend 2 whole days clearing my desk and trying my best to reorganise myself and my craft stash..........with no money in the pot to go out and buy some uber perfect storage I had to use what I had...so I think I have everything to hand that I need and all grouped together.  I have yet to get repairing my sewing machine....I feel so lost without it......and I have a vintage chair that will be my seat of creativity, that is going to get a makeover on wednesday when I get to buy some paint!

I made this little card with this weeks stamp something challenge in mind.....cherry magnolia papers and a cupcake house mouse!

 For this week's challenge, we would like for you to create something that is delightfully delicious! Get out all of your food images and accents to come up with something yummy!......................

what else have I too share................I am working on a crochet blanket, some more fabric stitching too, baking, my paint is finished and I have my handmade craft goodies on route to aj in america as part of the skunkboy craft swap.....I loved this swap sooooo much, you would not believe all the amazing talented that there is out there in our little world.....breathtaking!

have a lovely sunday! hugs m xx

my first 2010 card - mojo monday

................finally, at last, something happened yesterday (what I do not know)  I made a card...yes you read that right!  my mojo put in a appearence yesterday and boy was I excited to see it!!  fingies and everything crossed that it sticks around so I can get my crafty creations challenges done!

I made this card using a lovely sketch over on mojo mondays challenge blog and off course if I was going to be making my first card of 2010 it just had to be done with a Gorjuss Girl......I will never tire of these stamps, my fav stamps in the whole wide world!

off now to get creating again...........have a lovely tuesday, {{hugs}} m xx

snowed in monday

hi all! hope you are all doing ok.  it is snowing  here in ireland.....snowing all the time...since last week and temps in the minus figures.....the govenment announced the schools stay closed till thursday, so the kiddos are climbing the walls as too is momma!!  we cant go anywhere because once will get the car finally out of the drive and down the hill there is now chance of getting back up....so I well and truly have cabin fever!  so much so that I have a headache and cant face doing anything craft wise, I did manage to start painting again........havent painted since I had the kids, I used to paint all the time, day and night.  this painting is definately a mixed media one, as I have mixed my love for paint with my other passion PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have also been crocheting too, its perfect because I dont have to sit at my desk to do that I can sit curled up by the fire!!!

I got a lovely award from my friend sandra, thank you so much hun!
I dont have time just this minute to forward it on,  but I will do this week xx.

here is a sneek peek of my painting, I still have more to finish on it, but she is nearly 100% complete, so will share her as soon as she is done and dry!

my mission today is to finally make a card! and it will be my first card of 2010....so wish me luck teeheeeee!

stay warm peeps, big hugs m xx

Happy new year!

wow what a christmas! how are you all doing? hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!  I feel like I have fallen off the planet....I did not go near the computer at all over the holiday season...I was all crafted out too so my desk is feeling a little abandoned..will have to give my stash some tlc over the next few days and get playing.  but first have to face a mountain of housework, washing, and decoration removing!!

I have two cards to share that are from crafty creations before christmas, I just did not get a chance to do blog post! shame on me!  big hugs m xx
