I have been tagged and got an award! Wohoo!!
Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by! I have been still fighting with that pesky cold and now think it might have developed into a sinusitis as I just cannot get my nose to unblock. Grrrr....
While I have been away from blogland however I have been given the "I love your blog" award from two lovely people!! The fabulous Michele and the no less fabulous Erin! Check out their blogs, they are really inspirational! Thanks girls!
The rules say I have to give this to 7 people and as there are so many great blogs it was very difficult to decide... I chose:
and Laura
You should check their blogs as they are all great crafters and have lovely blogs.
I have also been tagged by no less than 4 people!! Namely: Kathleen, Erin, Joy and Lisa! Thank you all!
Well, I have to give 5 answers to the following questions and tag 5 people, which will be hard as I don't want to tag people who already got this one...
For the questions, here goes:
Things I love:
1. My children and family
2. My friends
3. Crafting
4. Snuggling up on the sofa with a hot chocolate and a nice movie
5. Making others smile
Things I don't love:
1. My bloomin' cold!
2. Spiders and Snakes... not so fond of creepy crawlies..
3. Nastiness towards anyone, human or animal!
4. Housework
5. Shopping (except for craft stuff...)
Music on my iPod:
1. Harry Potter Audiobooks read by Stephen Fry (I know it's not music, but I listen to it a lot...)
2. Duffy
3. ABBA
4. Rihanna
5. Amy Winehouse
Food and Drink Favs:

2. Freshly baked bread

I am back! And have been a bit busy...
Good morning bloggers!
I have been quite ill, together with the rest of my family. We all had/have a really bad cold with fevers, couhgs, the lot. I am feeling much better now though and as I got something really important coming up on Saturday (not giving anything away, but will let you know afterwards what I have been up to...) I need to be on form!
While trying to keep the kids reasonably happy and myself not too much left out I actually made a few cards. As I have still a lot of preparation to do until Saturday and having two nice ladies come on Friday morning to my house to learn all I can teach them about cardmaking (How cool is that???) I keep this short and just show you the pictures now. If you want any infos on any of them, which papers, stamps, colouring technique etc. I used, just ask and I will answer, promise! Well, here they are, hope you like them!

The first one is for the friendship swap on Do crafts.
This one is a new Baby Girl card for a work colleague of my other half. She is german, hence the greeting...
The next one is for the Magnolia challenge on Do Crafts again, the theme this time was "Sugar and Spice", a girly card using 3 different papers (I hope vellum counts...).
I seemed to be on a roll with girly baby cards and did two more! One for a new arrival and one first birthday...
Hope you liked my cards and thanks for looking!

FANTASTIC blog candy! Head over there NOW!
Wow, just stumbled onto a really great blog and the owner is giving away Pro Markers as blog candy! How generous is that??? I love my copics, but I won't pass up the chance to try some Pro Markers for real as well! I've used them a while ago when a friend had some around but as I had the copics already I didn;t want to invest... Anyone who is interested in these markers head over to Elaines Den and try your luck!

Short HELLO from a polar bear with a cold...
Hello everyone and sorry I haven't been updating my blog. First my children and now me have been struck by a really awful cold and I didn't get round to doing much. I managed to do my swaps and a couple of thank you cards for friends but I didn't take pictures as I just wanted to send them off and go back to bed.
Well, for Halloween I did make a few treat bags for the kids and took pictures and this evening I made my card for the Whiff of Joy challenge, but I have to retake the pictures as it was too dark. I'll post them anyway and will update them later.
Hope you'll like what I did and as soon as I am back to form I will hopefully get some crafting done and blogging to follow!
Happy Halloween everyone!
4.11.08 - Have now managed to take some proper pictures of the WoJ card... Willow with lantern is coloured with copics, background paper is done with PTI set Guide Lines, ribbon and button added as well as a sentiment button. Hope you like it!
