True Friend

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Firstly let me apologise for not posting more often. I have been busy here and didnt realise how long it was since I last posted.

The new Mini Spring Catalogue starts this friday and I know I have lots of customers eager to order from this awesome little book. One of the sets thats in this Mini is True Friend and one I’ve been waiting for since seeing it in USA.

The photo here was taken back in January at my niece’s wedding. I am pictured here with my little sister (and True Friend) Jo who I don’t get to see often enough - I am going to visit in another 10 weeks! Cant Wait!!

Well better be off and do some tidying as I have a very special guest coming next week for a fleeting visit!

A bit blue

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Well thats true for the type of day I’ve had today and an apt description for the card I made today.

I got up to no internet this morning … well we did have internet but I didnt :(

After lots of testing, pulling of hair and steam coming out of ears and a rather long stressful phone call with the dear husband & Puta Guru we worked out our network server was deaded :(   Hubby managed to talk me through changing settings so I could at least have access to the internet today. This is a good thing as I had a few online jobs to do today with orders to put through and a blog post I do each wednesday at the Utah Diva’s International Blog

One thing I did learn during the ‘black out’ was that I can type a post into Word 2007 and then publish it from there right into your blog - in this case it was the Utah Diva’s Blog post I did that I tried it on and was rather surprised it worked.

Now after all that with the internet and servers and networks one would think a cup of coffee would hit the spot - well guess what else was broken - yup my espresso machine :(  Maybe I should take donations for me to get a nice new one so throw your spare change my way!! lol

Ok enough of that …. where’s the card??

Prayer Bayou

Here it is … and yes its using Baroque Motifs again - I do try not to use it but just cant help myself! Here’s the recipe …

Card Recipe:

Stamps: Baroque Motifs, So Many Sayings
Ink: River Rock, Old Olive, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou
Accessories: Stamp-a-majig, Soft Sky double stitched ribbon

These colours are a little out of my comfort zone and I wasnt sure about it but my good friend Maggie said it was lovely and she has good taste!

Lets just hope the ladies at next week’s Stamp A Stack like it too! What do you think? do you give it a yes or a no?
