Yayyyyyyyyy.... Ive been featured

I only joined TalentDatabase about a week ago, and I have already been featured, WOW how good does that make me feel.

Also like to add apologies for being a bad blogger lately, A lot has been going on lately, and I've just not known if I've been coming or going and had very little time to craft. Especially as its the summer holidays and the kids around more often.

I did go to my parents a couple weeks ago, and it was fantastic to have a week away from normal everyday stresses. I did miss my kids, but it was still lovely not to have to listen to there bickering, there tantrums there outbursts. It also showed my husband that its not as easy as he always thought looking after a house and 2 wild children. I came home to a different husband, and I am still in shock as Ive been back a week tomorrow, and he is still helping much more. Still not as much as I would like, but it better than nothing. I'm not expecting it to last tho. Especially as he is back at work after next week. But it is nice whilst it lasts.

I did make some Christmas cards (about a dozen) when at my parents, I haven't photographed them yet, will do when I get everything all sorted. When I got back all my craft stuff got dumped in the airing cupboard, where it still is now. This weekend my husband is going to help me hoy it all back into the loft, then I can start crafting again.

I bought some bits to make some paper bag scrapbooks, which I am itching to play with, and I've also bought some jewellery making bits (well a lot lol). I've always fancied having a go at making jewellery, but been put off by the expense when starting with it. Well I've bitten the bulled and been on ebay and got some right bargains for starting me off. There should be enough stuff to make a fair bit. Just hope I enjoy it as much as I am hoping I will. I'm hoping it all arrives soon, as its my mothers Birthday on the 20th, and she loves her earrings. So they can be my first project. Whilst I was at hers she dragged me around 3 different Clair's shops on earring hunts, found loads she liked, but they were the wrong type of earrings, she only likes the hooks, but now I can make her them in the right style of earrings, to her taste, in the colours she wants etc....

Well I best get off and sort out tea before the kids (including hubby) eat me cause there grumbling at me cause there starving lol. Hopefully over the next week I will get back up to speed and be adding more to here again.

Oh one last thing. Why did I decide to make a special Christmas card when at my parents, my Dad liked it so much that he has ordered ALL of his Christmas cards made the same way. It took me around 4 hours to make just one of them (plus it took 3 days for the glue to dry on it). mind will keep me busy for a while. Will show you the style when I eventually get my craft stuff back in the loft and sorted out again. As the cards I made whilst at my parents are mixed up in it all somewhere and I haven't photographed them yet.
