And another one.

Hello to all you lovely crafters.

 Have the diets started now after Easter. Mine has in my head, just not put it into practice yet!

I thought I'd be safely away from chocolate not having kids at home now but didn't factor in the Grandsons arriving with theirs and buying one for 'Nanna'

Aaaggghhh. Too much temptation!!

'Eat up all your dinner be a good girl'  my eldest Finley said  'and you can have some chocolate Nanna'  aww bless, just couldn't disappoint now could I?

Well hope we've seen the last of the snow now. I didn't get the the craft show as it snowed us all in here and I was gutted. I'b been so looking forward to it. I needed some inspiration having not crafted for a while and wanted to see what was new so I've been visiting some really inspirational blogs to get the mojo going again. Boy there is some fab designs out there.

So I hit the web and decided to spend my money online. Bought some new Maggie's and couldn't wait for them to arrive.............. Then my exhaust fell off my car...........Great...

Thank goodness I paid for them before or I would have felt guilty spending as you do and well I would have spent anyway if I'd gone to the show now wouldn't I???

Then my poor Grandson got Chicken pox. Poor soul was covered in spots. It's so hard trying to tell a two year old not to scratch. Good old Calomine, remember being doused in it myself as a child.
He was so proud of his spotty torso and was happy to show it to anyone that wanted to see it,  lil cutie.
So as a treat his mum took him to the drive through at Macdonalds, which he calls the green chicken shop as its painted green!!
'What would you like' the assistant asked, my Grandson said 'Chicken Pox please', soooo funny.

It was my youngest Daughter's birthday on Wednesday too, she is now 25yrs young. I had intended to hand deliver her card but as my car was off the road I rang her to sing Happy Birthday and I pretended to pull her hair 25 times and one for good luck and she said ouch 26 times, you've probably gathered we're all nuts in our family!  She did call for it later in the day though.


Onto my card.

I thought I'd have a play with my pencils and do a monochrome with a splash of colour for a change just to play with the shading.

I'll add a list of items used once I find them all. I really must try to be a tidier crafter ;-)
