My new craft room!!!

 A week ago the builders finally started on our new garage where my craft room will be relocated.  At 7.15am it looked like this.

 Three hours later as the tree was felled it changed to......................

My poor boy Charlie is a real lover of nature and I found him sobbing in his room as he was sad about the tree which was home to wildlife.  We intend to plant more trees to replace it which eventually consolled him, but a week on and he's still bothered by it.  Honestly none of us wanted to see it go, but the planners said it must in order that it didn't affect the foundations of the new building. I'll be back in time with more pics of the progress made. 

Also just over a week ago it was Martin's birthday and the children excelled themselves with the cards they made for Daddy.  They made them during the holidays whilst staying with my mum.  Martin was thrilled and we were both very impressed.

I'm looking forward to Christmas now to see what they make then!

Happy Birthday Charlie

My son at the grand age of 8 decided that he wanted a grown up card and fell in love with the new Sail Away stamp from the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini 2011.  It's a fab stamp, but I don't want him to get too old too quickly so for his birthday today, I made this card and added a fun whale under the sea from Fox and Friends.  I've also used a treat cup to make a shaker card with some of the baja breeze glass glitter which is chunky and doesn't stick to everything like your face as dazzling diamonds so often does.  It's great for boys too! 

I'm delighted to say that he loved it. 

Happy Birthday Charlie

Busy with kids on Easter hols so must dash.
