When Dave took Janet to The Craft Barn .....

..... and didn't she have a fab time too!!!!!!

This is Janet outside the Craft Barn after her spend up.

Janet is a Tanda Stamps forum buddy all the way from New Zealand. She is over here on holiday with her husband, Roger, and staying with friends they met when they were over here on a "teacher exchange". Think I got that right!

We left The Craft Barn and went to my house. The sun came out (for about a minute or two) and we passed a few land marks - well the building of the new Brighton & Hove Albion football stadium and Sussex University - what more does a New Zealander need to see!!!

This is Janet on my new decking with new railings!

Had a fabulous day with Janet and then it was time for her to leave. I and Dave drove her to Lewes to catch her train and we passed a couple more land marks - Lewes Prison, our new office building (not yet built!) and Anne of Cleves House. There - sorted!

BTW Janet - could job we went when we did because the traffic going into Lewes was nose to tail and that was only about 20 mins after we left my house. Phew !

THANKS FOR A GREAT DAY ME DEAR!

Thanks for stopping by

Evenin' all!

I have had another productive day in the cabin. I made a few of these cards:

The inspiration for this easel card is from a christmas card I got from a Tanda forum buddy, Sue Law.
I have made a couple of them, can't stop!!! Trouble is my photo taking skills are sorely lacking at the moment. My photo's are coming out quite blurred. I shall try again with the other cards.

This is a close up of the front panel. It's a stampin' up set - and oldish one I think - with some gold stickles and my new Spica pens.

I have just done a ton of ironing and am absolutely knackered !!!

Back to work tomorrow. Best have an early night !

Milla using my copics!

.

This is Milla learning how to use my copics....... The stamp is one from Tanda Stamps and is from their Timmy range

The card was for her friends little brother who was having a cowboy party!!

Nearly there. Cool shading eh. Honestly she did it all by herself with just a little prompting from moi..

There all done !!!!!!

Didn't she do well. The lasso was her idea - It is just a length of fibre stuck on with glossy accents....

Sad day

Burn is sad - poor Stephen Gately. I got such a shock when I heard it on the radio this morning. I just feel so sorry for his partner, family and the rest of Boyzone. No doubt it will all become clear what happened.

Anyway I completely forgot to tell you yesterday what Milla said to me. She asked me if she could do something, I said no and then she moaned saying she didn't like it here with me anymore so I said "Tuff". Then she said "you're not my nanny, you're an imposter". "What makes you say that" I asked and then in the blink of an eye she said "Cos my nanny would have said something rudder than that!" Well I just wee'd myself laughing, told her that was a good one and then as I walked passed her she held up her hand and said "Hi five!". Little angel.

I think the best one she ever said was when Kris (DS2) was putting his money into his pocket and asked him for £5. Kris then tells her he doesn't have £5 and she replied "I take switch!" All this at just under 2 years old...................................

Wonder who she takes after !!!!!!!!

Think I may have had a change of heart about the blinds, but don't hold your breath cos I may change it again !!!!!! Sorted out all the stamps - just need more sheets. Note to self - ring Tanda Stamps

I'm watching X Factor at the moment - C'MON STACEY !!!!!!!!! She is adorable and LLOYD and JOE - hedging my bets a bit here eh !

Well best get on with the knitting!
