Red and Black

with a bit of white, this is the card i've made for our Danika's 17th birthday.She's into the whole goth look at the moment so thought this would be appropriate, just hope she likes it.

Well what a day it's been but this is the result. Daughter is about to start driving lessons and wanted her own car so after looking aroung various garages to see wot was on offer and what Danika could fit into and manage to drive, she's a bit on the small size for your average 17 year old her dad found this on ebay. Well she liked the look of it and wanted to go have a look so off they trundled last weekend to view it, to say she fell in love with it is an understatement.

After much discussion on the pro's and cons of owning her own car plus the cost of runing it she decided to put in a bid. as it went she was outbid a few times but with 5 minutes to go on the auction and Danika being at college her dad upped the offer and she won it woohoo.

must admit it was a steal at the price she payed for it.

So today was the day to go pick it up.We all piled into her brother pauls car and set off for Morpeth which is just a 35 minute drive away, but nooooooooooooo not today it was'nt.We got onto the A19 ok but just a few miles up the road there was chaos, traffic backed up for miles due to multible accidents and 40 minutes later we had gone 5 miles. ok not a problem we not in a hurry so just waited it out. finally the road cleared and we were on our way again and got through the Tyne Tunnel but on coming out just round the corner we hit a huge traffic jam again, more accidents, so what started out as a quick trip took us five and a half hours all told.

I tell you my dear daughter will be in debt for the rest of her life and not because of the price of a car.

Just glad to get home safe and sound and those poor people involved in the many accidents today are in our thought and prayers

Long Time

and it certainly has been a long time since i've been here cos i forgot all about it,typical me.

Lets see what have i been up to lately. Well not much cardmaking since Christmas cos i've got really painful hands think it may be the flippin cold weather oh roll on the summer.

No1 son has been busy this last few months building a website for our local cricket club and of course he cant do it without asking mummy to help, i ask you wot do i know about websites absolutely nothing nada zilch but because i'm a member of a few i helped him with layouts n stuff

and he gave me the great job of looking through over 500 animated smilies and choose which were best for his forum dah.

The weather has turned a wee bit milder this last few days so thought it was time to shake the cobwebs away and take my two scrathounds for longer walks in the hope of getting us all fit. i'll put a photo of them on later.

OOO i did manage to make a card for a family members birthday, a wee bit of stamping and a wee bit of cuttlebugging and jobs a goodun

Shrink Plastic

Another day of rain again today and another soaking with the Rebels but this time poor Patch ended up with a badly cut paw, seems he may have trodden on some broken glass hidden in the grass. We've cleaned the wound and put a bandage on and now he's feeling very sorry for himself.

That done i made a card for a dear aunt who will be 90 years old this friday. the roses are from Dover and i coloured them using Sakura stardust pens, traced the roses onto shrink plasic again coloured with pens and shrunk down and attached to the card with ribbon.
