Butterflies and birthdays



My Mams Birthday card although it is her 70th I have not added that to the front of the card as a lady never tells her age lol
I made it using Glitter girls board and assortment of Purples and some heat resistant acetate from the crafters companion web which I stamped and used Blond moments embossing powder sweet pink iridescent which is more of a lilacy colour.
I then embellished it with iridescent gems and peel offs

Wii Fit

Well I have become addicted to the wii fit I got it for Christmas from the kids and grand kids and what a source of fun it has been but as I am a fitness freak I can't seem to keep off it. and as I have stopped Smoking for fifth time and for good I needed something new and along came the wii fit.

Just hoping I don't end up on YouTube doing the hoopla as one poor soul has lol

Christmas

Near the end of my christmas orders and still people ask if I could make a few more cards for them. I wish I had the workforce and the man hours as I would!
but unfortunately I don't.
I still have not got my tree up and my youngest son will be home on leave this Friday and all his life the christmas fairies have put our tree and deckies up when they where asleep lol
I loved to see there little faces the next morning then they knew it was christmas. so i dont want to spoil his dream ha ha and ask him to help.

I still have some shopping to do which I need to take my son Kyle with me he is brilliant at picking out christmas gifts and I think he enjoys shopping unlike his Dad my DH who hates looking around the shops he buys what he needs and then goes straight home.

Ah well need to go
