My Craft Room

Just thought I'd share a few photos of my craft room,

last time I showed it there was stuff all over. 

Now, I hear you say ~ There's still stuff all over!!!!

.....BUT, It's organised stuff. OK!

It desperately needs decorating, 

I'm going to move it all about and hopefully have some new storage units and worktop.

All the shoe boxes have hand-made cards from Mac & my crafty friend's

 and also the ones I've made for Mac & Darren.

So I need some smart new boxes for those.

The small black folders have all my Clear sentiments in them.

This is the corner where I have some of Mac's art work from over the years.

The one if the pink frame is a "certificate" presented to me from Mac for be the "best-ever" crafter LOL!

Do you like my clock? Every hour a monkey comes out of the hatch LOL,

It used to be in the playroom, but Mac has a horse one now.

I also have all my Magnolia Ink magazines in easy reach too.

The black CD box hold all my dies,

I have got a curtain rod & need some little hooks and then 

they're all going to hang in the little space above where I work.

All the plastic boxes are where I store all my LOTV & Maggies.....

.....and a few others too LOL

Work in progress.

Thanks for looking,

Good morning.

Yay, I finally got my Tilda card done for Sir Stampalot !!!

Watering the Flowers

Yay, It's Friday!!!!!!

The snow has all gone here now, just a bit of ice on the paths.

I have a LOTV sneak peek to share today.

I was going to save it for another day and put a Magnolia card on that I started yesterday,

but I hit a huge blank when trying to embellish it!!!

I tried loads of handmade flowers, and they all ended up in the bin,
So hopefully I'll finish it today!

The new LOTV images are to be released on the 30th January, so not tooooo long now.

This gorgeous image is called

WATERING THE FLOWERS

Mosaic Coasters

Good morning,

Hope all is well,

It was really foggy here earlier, but thankfully it has lifted a little.

I have no card to share today,

but Sunday afternoon was spent making mosaic coasters,

Even Darren got involved.

Mackenzie and I have a new favourite film,

Dolphin Tale,

It's a fab true story about Winter the dolphin who, sadly, has to lose her tail!

It does have a happy ending and you can see Winter on live webcam,

So Mackenzie checks in most days and is begging us to take her to visit her.

I think we need a good lottery win first LOL

Anyway for her coaster she has made Winter the dolphin, without her tail

Mine is the ladybird & Darren's is the zebra,

I think Darren secretly enjoyed it ~ We may even get him card making soon LOL!!!

Concentration!
