Its been a while....

to be honest i make pages all the time...but most of them are for the workshops at Papermaze so i don't get to show them to anyone! But i did a page for the Papermaze blog which is going up 2m but i wanted to show you today...

sorry...you have to look at my ugly mug on this page!!!! lol...

I started an all about me book a while ago...and here is another page for it...

i do suffer from various aliments in my life since being pregnant with Harry...but never done a page before that documents them and how it affects my life...

( sorry some bad shadows on this page)

a hard things to write but i had too....

i have had another page in my head for a while now...so i am going to use the opportunity as there is no one here today to sit quietly and do it....i have a whole list of things that you can put into an all about me album...i will dig them out and share them with you!

A little something....

 sorry for the lack of pretty things to show you on here recently...i have been working on a guest designer spot for April...i will show you what i made when i can...but a hint ....it is a very healthy website!!!! see if you can figure it out!!!!!! Now onto the next project.

After putting together one of the workshops for Papermaze...i had to use up some of the scraps i had left over....i needed a little card for a friend so i made this...nothing fancy but quick enough to make and that is what i needed...

here they are separately...

and i used a little Maya Road envelope for this...all i added was the little stitching round the scalloped edge...

You can find all the Echo Park supplies here Papermaze

Some links for you....

I have this in my mind to do every once in a while...share some of the things that i have bookmarked on my computer....

 Recently I won this award from Elizabeth 

who is one of my most fav scrapbookers...

For me to accept this award, I must list eight facts about myself.  And, I get to pass the award on to eight other bloggers!

Here we go:

1. I am always early for everything...i have never been late ever ( Harry being two weeks late being born was not my fault) i am always about 15 mins earlier than i said i would be.

2. I LOVE the colour yellow!!!! love it.

3.I am confident....my husband would say too much....but i am a confident person and will and do often stick up for myself....

4. I am a fussy eater...having ic ( which i have no problem with people knowing i have) doesn't help either so my diet is really limited....eating out...a nightmare!!!!

5. I love being at home...i am happy to stay at home for days on end and not get cabin fever.

6. I am OCD about things being straight, level and even....there is nothing wonky in my house!!!!

7.I hate wearing nail varnish....

8. I am a tad of a control freak...my husband would say a mega control freak, but i am sticking with a tad...

Okay i have to pass this award onto some other people...so here it goes...

More American Crafts....

This was also up on the American Crafts blog in December....Each year a friend of mine does her new years resolutions...the only person i know who sticks with them as well!

so this year i wanted to make her something special ...trouble is now she wants it every year!!!! lol....

Now for some reason they are really blurry on the blog and not much better on here...but hey....i am not a good photographer!!!! lol

I left the bits blank for her to write her resolutions on....

What do you do....

When you have two cards you dont like.........well you cut them up and put them together...of course!

I am not creating this week...having some time off...until in the middle of the night...an idea came to me...you would be proud of me though as i didn't get up and go downstairs and re make them....i did wait until the morning!!!! lol...

Last week i sat with the Hello Sunshine in front of me and made two cards....neither of which loved and wasn't even going to show them on here.........but i cut them up and glued them together and a card i loved appeared!!!!

Sorry the colours are bit off....i cannot wait until the sun finally comes out and i can finally get some decent photos!

some more photos...

loving those butterflies!!!!!!
