Another one


This one I made for a friend. It was her nephews first birthday. I liked how this one turned out and it was simple and quick too.

I've made some cards, yeah


I actually made these last week I think but I've been so busy I hadn't had time to upload them.


This one was made for a friend of mine. I sold out of bubblebellas and the last one went to NattyK and she kindly said she would send me an image. My friend loved it. I have just got these bubbles in and thought it would be a perfect oppurtunity to use them. I will be adding them to diestodiefor soon.

I am looking for...

A snake stamp. Can anyone help? I would just like a couple of stamped images of a snake, preferably a cute snake but anything will do. We are getting a new member of the family tomorrow (yes, it is a snake) and I would like to make a card to say thank you to the shop owner (he is my cousin) for being so helpful. Any ideas much appreciated.
Am happy to swap some images. Here's hoping.

They have arrived

Well the Bellas have arrived at last. I just need to go through and make sure that everything is in the package and then I will be back with prices, etc. Just thought you would all want to know.
Oh and I better cook the children some dinner.

It seems to be never ending

I have had some High Hopes Rubber Stamps in. I will list them here so if you are interested please scroll down and email me if you would like to purchase any on track456@btinternet.com.

Once again I am having website problems. This time it is First Class Crafts. It has been very slow over the last couple of weeks but now it doesn't seem to be coming up at all. Please bear with me, I am doing all I can at the moment. In the meantime I will let you know here as and when things arrive.

At the weekend I noticed that my kitchen sink wasn't draining away the water properly, we tried to unblock the sink but it turned out to be the drain. We tried to unblock this too but in the end we had to call somebody out who told us it would take half an hour and they charge £70 per half an hour (phew, you might think) Well that is nothing he was here 4 hours and charged £700 (yes, you have read it correctly, £700) Well I've now realised I'm in the wrong job.

By the way, do you want to know what it was, well I'll tell you anyway, washing powder, can you believe it. There was tons of the stuff. I know I do a lot of washing (6 loads a day) but I didn't realise that would happen.

Anyway back to the High Hopes Stamps, these are all unmounted but they do have the cling on attached.

Anthony James £5.25
Cowboy Kenny £5.25
Cowgirl Candice £5.25
Brutus £3.60
Froggy Gift £5.25
Zach and Ozzie £5.75
Sparky £3.70
Small Spot £3.70
Rappin T Bear £5.25

That's it for now. I am expecting deliveries of Stamping Bella, House Mouse, Hero Arts, Inky Antics, Art Gone Wild and My Favourite Things.

Will post some cards tomorrow.

Bellas are on their way

I think Bellas should be here by Thursday. Hopefully if they get here early enough I will put it on here, otherwise your all going to have to wait a whole extra day. How mean am I ?
This does all depend on post though so don't hold your breath.
I have had some more Pink Cat Studio delivered, so I now have more Billy stamps and boy background. I've had a few Whipper Snapper and some High Hopes that I am trying to get onto the website. Please bear with me as it is so slow at the moment.

If anyone goes onto the website and it is very slow and annoying please email me and let me know or if you let me know what it is you want I can send you a paypal invoice instead. While it is slow and I am still loading things on, I am offering free postage. I hope to have it all done sometime in May (fingers crossed).

The children are off this week too and seeing as I had deliveries four days last week, I really must do something with them, so I might not be around too much. I will be golfing (yuk), fishing (double yuk), footballing (yuk), playing darts (at least I should be dry), bowling (yeah) and going to the cinema (double yeah).

The boys will hate me for this


Sorry but I love this photo. Over the Easter weekend we took them to Longleat safari park. It was such a nice day. All the children enjoyed themselves. It can be hard to find things for them all to enjoy when one is nearly 16 and another is 9.

I took this picture of them when we went on the train ride. If any of Luke's friends were to see

this he would go mad. All 5 of us squeezed into a little carriage. You can see by the photo how squashed up we were. Andy sat opposite Luke and both of them being 6footish did make us all laugh. Fun was had by all. Just had to show it.

PIF Candy


At last I hear you say. I received PIF Candy such a long time ago from various people so I will start doing my bit and Passing It Forward. This was from Michelle I loved everything in it. Thanks Michelle, sorry it's taken so long to get organised.
Right the first three people to leave a comment will receive PIF Candy from me. This one is for UK residents only. Sorry but there will be more.

As promised...


Here are some cards. These are ones that I made for the childrens teachers. They had to be quick as so many things are with me at the moment. I got the idea for layouts from Mandy she sent me some PIF candy a while back. I never, ever use these colours but I loved the card she sent me. Thanks Mandy.

BELLA ORDER

I have had so many people dissapointed about not getting bellas. I didn't realise they would sell out so quickly. I am going to do another order and already have a long list that people have asked for. If there is a particular one that you would like to see me get in stock then please email me on track456@btinternet.com with a list. Although I think I am ordering most, lol.
I still have a few in stock. If you look at my 3rd April Post this will tell you exactly what I have.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN


Well it is my middle son's birthday today. He is 11.

Those of you that don't know, Jordan was born prematurely. He was born at 26 weeks weighing 1lb 12oz. He was one of triplets. He was given a 50/50 chance of survival and we were told if he did survive not to expect him to walk, talk, etc.

Well here he is. He has no problems they had warned us about, loves playing football and eating sausages.
Happy Birthday Babe
Love Mummy

I will post some cards tomorrow.

Dies to Die For Is Back

Hi everyone

It's true, http://www.diestodiefor.com/ is back up and running. Go take a look. I have to say a huge thank you to Kirsty Wiseman as she made my new header for me. I love, it's so fab. Thank you Kirsty and hope all goes well.

Now, not everything is back on the website. I thought it was important to get it back up and running so I am expecting a few glitches. Not too many I hope. If there was something on the website before that is not there and you would like to order it please contact me as I may just have it but have not got round to putting back on the website just yet.

I will be adding lots more, hopefully on a daily basis so keep coming back and checking. Once all the stock is on, I will then start merging First Class Crafts but at the moment I am still having to run two separate websites.

Now I can start making some cards to put on here and in the gallery. Remember if you have made a card using our products that you a particularly proud of send me a picture and I can put it in the gallery. You will also receive a free gift.

Don't forget, if there is a die that you would like to see made up please contact me and I will see what I can do. So many people have done this already, I have lots of new ideas myself I just need to learn to draw (any help, much appreciated).
