Christmas cards a go-go!

Have a had a busy week or so making lots of Christmas cards. I must say it's quite difficult thinking of Christmas in August! Mind you the weather is not exactly summery at the moment!


Have 2 weeks off, finish on Friday yippee! 
It's been a busy old time in the 
dispensary, what with people being on holiday, 
and customers going away on holiday 
and wanting their medication early! 


I'm not planning anything over my hols, just chilling and taking things easy. My ankle has been quite swollen and painful this week so I'll try to rest it as much as I can. I'm sure I'll be able to manage a couple of visits to craft shops tho!

Here is one of the cards I've made, it hasn't photographed very well because I'd already put it in the cello bag and sealed it with a shop name sticker, and I didn't want to rip it off! But you get the general idea!

Ive got a few more to show you but I'll post those at a later date!

The craft fair!

Well I've done nearly a week back at work, but today was my first day at my old hours. By the end of the afternoon I was completely worn out and felt like I had worked non-stop for a week! Came home, had a coffee and felt a bit better so I made a couple of easel cards for Christmas!

This is the poster for the craft fair I'm doing in September:

It looks like it's going to be a good one, really looking forward to it!

Going back to my cards now, just wanted to share the poster with you!

Christmas in August?

I've been making my first Christmas cards for this year! I must admit it's been hard going, what with Christmas being 4 months away!

But I thought people might be in the festive mood when they buy my stuff (ha ha, hopefully) at the craft fair in September. 

I've done stamping on all of them so far, as I said in an earlier post I'm not too happy with the colouring on them but it's OK I suppose.

This is my favourite one of the bunch so far.


It was from a stamp I got from the Glitter Pot along with a couple of others and £40 odd quid of stuff a couple of weeks ago. OOPS! 
Craft shopping was my only vice while I was off work with my ankle and it's made me nearly bankrupt! Must take care not to fall over again!

I'm back at work now, have been doing reduced hours this week and will probably do so next week. The ankle seems to be holding up well, but with other members of staff on holiday in the next few weeks I feel like I should get back to my old hours ASAP!


I will try and continue to do my blog at least once a week, but I don't think I'll be able to post every day as I have been doing, and like my favourite blog, http://itsallfiddlefart.blogspot.com/, who posts EVERY day without fail. Don't know where she gets the time or the inspiration!


See you soon!
