Another Anniversary Card

I made this for my mother & father in laws wedding anniversary which is later this month. Isn't it weird that both my parents and Jim's parents got married the same month but two years apart ???

This magnolia stamp is actually a christmas one (as she has holly in her hair) but I think I've managed to cover this up / cut it off so it's not obvious. Seems such a shame to only use her at Christmas time - she's so cute.

Closes 15th March 2009 - Karin over at Scrap Everything is heading towards 25,000 hits and is giving out this great Candy.

Anniversary Card

Here is the anniversary card that I have made for Mum & Dad's anniversary on 15th of this month. I guess you never really realise that your parents were young once until you dig around in the photo albums and find the treasures in it like this one.

Mum still has her wedding dress wrapped in black paper and in a box in the attic, it's beautiful ........... and tiny. I did try it on just before my second wedding but I couldn't get it done up at the back.

I am always amazed at how old people looked in these old photos. My Mum must have been around 20 years old and therefore this made my Nan only 41 (lady second in from the right) - yet she looks so much older than that.

Flat Boobs

Well I'm off for my first mamogram tomorrow and I am very nervous. My ex Sister in Law said it hurt like mad, and my best friend said it wasn't so bad but you had to stand in strange positions to get your boobs in the right place ................ so I can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim asked me where it was I had to go for it - and when I said "it's in the Car Park next to the new Sofa Shop on the Industrial Estate" he said he hoped they had a portable surgery or portacabin ............... I'm sure they will ........ won't they ?

I'll let all you under 50's know tomorrow what it was like.

Linda Needs ........

This is so cool, saw it on Totty's blog. You enter "(your name) needs" into a Google search box, and then list the first five results. Only the first three made any sense really ......... this is what they said:

1. Re: Linda Needs Mental Help. At one point I offered to smack her! ... Re: Linda Needs Mental Help. I just came across this site and I have to agree Linda is ...
2. Linda needs a new best friend. She had some kind of falling out with her old best friend. Something about a man. Maybe you heard about it. ...
3. 30 Oct 2005 ... To really thrive, Linda needs to be a part of a loving, ... Linda needs as much free space at the front of the platform as possible ...

Makes me sound quite sad doesn't it ????

Mojo Monday .......

Well I've entered a card for Mojo Monday Week 74 sketch challenge.

This is the first time I have ever entered a card for a challenge and hope that I've followed the instructions correctly. It's all quite scarey when you first start this blogging lark, everyone else seems to have been doing it for ages ...... and knows exactly what to do.

Have I made the picture big enough? is my card in focus ............ hmmm well that bit is debateable - I didn't have my glasses on, and now it's loaded I'm not so sure it is - but hey - like I said it is my first attempt. So fingers crossed ..................

I won Candy ...............

Lynn, over a Lynn's Blog just did her blog candy draw and I won, I won, I won, I won, I won, I won.

Well how good do I feel. I entered three blog candy draws for the first time ever on Sunday, and I won one of them.

I am sitting here with a huge cheshire cat grin across my face - bet you're glad you can't see it.

Make It ............

Off to Farnborough on Friday to the Make-It craft fair. Just hoping that mum's cold is better so she can come too .......... otherwise Jim will be coming along, and I know he really would rather be at home watching the cricket! Actually I'm wondering if in fact it would be better to go on my own, rather than drag him with me, as I'm sure he'll be bored stupid.
Just need to make my list of things I just have to buy while I'm there.

Getting the hang of it ...........

I'm sure I'm supposed to blog more often, but things have been very busy at work and home. I guess I will eventually get the hang of this, but when all you do is work, and work and work, then there isn't much to blog about - well not that anyone would actually want to read.

I'm going to make more time to do things that are worth blogging about.
