Mices is nices!

 
Good morning, it's launch day today over at Little Claire's.  Today it's a really cute little set called 'Mice in Squares'. It is such a gorgeous little set of inchy stamps, I just love it!
 
I have used some gorgeous Craft Creation's papers on my card together with my teamie Georgina's lovely 'Stitching' stamp from her set 'Button's & Stitches' and some lovely buttons from the 'Riverbank' range.  The lace is self-adhesive, and the sentiment is from the 'Dictionary Definition's' set which you can find here.
 
I have a poorly Georgia here today, and lots of prep to do, so am off to grab a large coffee and get on with it, whilst looking after her, am so glad I can multi-task!
 
Have a great day!

My Jess

Good morning, my lovely girl Jess leaves school today.  It will be a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, as two of her lovely group of friends will be going off to colleges.  Jess has decided to stay for the Six-Form of school.
 
I am so very proud of my girl, she is currently doing her leaving exams and is on target to get all A/A*'s.
 

 
I wanted to share a great photo that I recently found of her, she was all chubby and cute then lol.

 
Here is a very recent one of the two of us at the beach, it was a very blowy day so am not looking my best lol, never mind Jess looks stunning as always!
 
I love you lots Jess and am a very proud Mum.  Enjoy your last day with your lovely friends and your lunch afterwards.

Little Claire Blog Project - Flowerhead Peg

 
Hey there, thank Crunchy it's Friday!!! Long weekend awaits, love spending it with the family.
 
I have done the blog project over on the Little Claire blog today.  I have used the gorgeous 'Flowerhead' stamp to alter a peg.  These are great for little gifts or to jazz up your fridges after putting a small piece of magnetic strip on the back.

 
I have given product details and instructions over on the LC blog.  They are very quick and cheap to make, using up all of your scrap papers.
 
Have a fabby weekend, am off to do a class tomorrow if I can keep this awful cold at bay, am keeping fingers crossed that I make it to the class, I will be so fed up if I can't as it is being taken by my lovely friend and teamie Georgina.
