Gotta Chat CJ

Well hello blog! I really must get back to blogging! But for now I just need to share my CJ photos.

I joined the Gotta Chat CJ on UKS last summer. Last Saturday my CJ arrived back with me. I am absolutely thrilled with it and want say a huge thenk you to all the ladies who did their entry and showed me their most memorable place. Here it is all complete;

Claire chose The Medina in Tunisia, Fi's place is where she went to college, Sandra's place is The Vatican, Clare's is the Chelsea Flwer Show, Pat chose Instanbul - that's the only place I've ever been abroard that I absolutely hated - it's a good job we all like different things and places!! Lesley chose the ski resort of Winter Park which is near Denver and where my bro and family live, Hazel chose Angkor Wat - that is a place tha'ts in my top three on my wish list of places to visit, Kirsty chose Discovery Cove and 2 stunning photos and Lyn's place is Las Vegas. Ten wonderful places each with special memories.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sunny Sunday

Well I'm improving - 2 posts in 1 month! Lovely sunny weather today! Why couldn't we have had this weather in August?! 2 Saturdays running I've been to 12 hour crops!! Last Saturday was MJ's crop near Newbury where I did the Then and Now LO which was a pre crop challenge for the crop I went to yesterday. It's always a FAB day at MJ's crop, lovely atmosphere and seriously yummy food. Yesterday I went to a new place and met up with a girl I chat to on UKS. 2 Classes yesterday taught by Cleo Jarvis - I love doing Cleo's classes. I haven't finished the one project yet but the other one is Simply Beautiful St Lucia. Has pics of when we went there many years ago. The title comes from St Lucia's advertsing and if you listen to Classic FM will be familair to you at the moment. The circle with the litlle 'windows' rotates. The papers for this LO are MME which I really love. The papers for the Then and Now LO are bright, funky We R Memory Keepers whiteout Collection. I even rather bravely for me did a little stamping on the one!!

Update and Crafty Things.

Well summer is over and life getting back to the usual routine. Terrible summer weather wise and our week in West Wales was a real washout. I have done lots of crafty things though and been to several crops. One of the projects I did on my holiday is the wall hanging in the photo which was another of Cleo Jarvis's lovely kits. It was great fun to do. Very hard to get a good picture of it but hope you can see what it's like and get the 'general idea'. The altered band aid tin I had from Cleo Crafts with my last kit. The little cards inside all have the addresses and birthdays of the girls on a team I chat with on UKS.

Hello and a little Mini Book

Hello Blog, sorry it's been so long! I've been doing lots of scrapping and really need to upload pics and keep utd on here! I'm really pleased with a little mini book I made using one of Cleo Jarvis's yummy kits. Hope you like it!

Hello Blog!

Hello Blog! Not forgotten you but busy at the moment so 'I'll be back soon!!'

Creations and a rejection

Haven't blogged for a few days so time to catch up! Went to a fab crop on Sat with 2 of my teamies. Great day and the food was just so yummy at the crop! Did 2 DLO's and 2 SLO's. The Fun Fair pages are a bit 'in your face' but then so is a Fun Fair! Page 1 has hidden little book with more pics and journalling. Then my Mum playing DS3's drums! She had such fun! 'Forties Class' is a school pic taken in c 1941 and includes my Dad. Such a clear pic for such an old one. And then an LO of DS3, pics taken a while ago! Then today got a standard job rejection from HC but also new kit from Cleo Crafts which begged to be used immediately. Cut up all the lovely ribbons but think the results were worth it.

Hopefully some time soon I'll get the hang of working out how to publish the pics and text rather better!

Creations and an Interview

Two creations to share - another altered letter rack! am loving doing these, this one done using pp from Cleo Crafts in NI - DH and DS3 say this is the best one I've done! One LO done for the weekly challenge on UKS, don't often do the challenges if they involve following a sketch but think this one worked quite well.

Went for an interview last eve for a P/T temp job. Talk about a long hard but actually very fair interview! Heaven knows these days what you have to go through to get a 'high earning post'. First a written test, then had to do a 2 minute presentation on PVA glue!! After that the usual type of interview questions but rather more and involved than I've had before. An hour and a quarter later I was free to leave. Phew! They will let me know next week.
