Nothing’s Better Than

September 18, 2022 Leave a Comment

Nothing’s better than? Well that depends on the situation. First thing in the morning it’s a nice hot cup of coffee for me. After a few days of rushing around, it’s the chance to have a lie-in. When my schedule has been filled with things I have to do for other people, it’s having time to myself. Most often I’ll spend that in my craft studio. It’s where I go to de-stress and exercise my creativity. So for this week’s simple Sunday blog post this stamp set seemed particularly appropriate. ... VIEW POST

Nothing’s Better Than Coffee Today

October 1, 2021 Leave a Comment

Today, October 1st is International Coffee Day. That's a good thing because I think I shall be drinking quite a lot of it over the next 36 hours or so. You see tomorrow, October 2nd is World Card Making Day and I plan to once again attempt to make 24 cards in 24 hours. That's design and make from scratch, twenty four different cards with decorated insides plus coordinating envelopes, all within a single twenty four hour period. Unfortunately before that happens I have to deal with a Bell ... VIEW POST

Chocolate Box (and Recipe) Kind Of Day

December 26, 2020 Leave a Comment

How was your Christmas Day? Ours was very quiet although we did manage a lovely video call with our daughter and her family in the UK. We still had the full turkey dinner, even though there were only two of us. There's also plenty of leftovers so we won't starve over the next few days. We also ate far too much chocolate especially since my friend Liz introduced me to the most amazing chewy chocolate bites. I loved them so much I simply had to make some for myself with a little tweak to the ... VIEW POST

Today’s Plan: Make A Christmas Fridge Magnet

December 5, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today's blog project comes to you courtesy of my fridge. As usual after getting up and having a shower I went downstairs to make my morning coffee. Often a project idea will come to me overnight but today my mind was blank. It was only as I went to the fridge to get the milk that I thought about a fridge magnet. I haven't made one in quite a while, so that was in my head as I made my way to my studio. I was thinking of using magnetic sheet for the base, but as I sat down I saw a large ... VIEW POST

Making The Simplest Giftcard Holder

October 18, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today I have another #simplestamping project for you and it's a hybrid, a giftcard holder and card in one. If you've ever wanted something other than the store branded carriers offered when you buy a giftcard, here's a quick and easy option. SCORE ONE LINE My giftcard holder started with a basic Very Vanilla Note Card & Envelope. The note card comes ready scored with a line down the centre. All I did was add an extra score line on the front 1" from the cut edge. Then I folded the ... VIEW POST

Today’s Plan May Involve Chocolate

September 14, 2020 2 Comments

Well this morning has been eventful with my computer crashing for the second time in a week. It seems like I can't put off replacing it any longer. Apart from the cost, I'm not looking forward to having to transfer my programs and files. So in preparation perhaps I should begin storing some of my thousands of crafting photos onto disks instead. Then I really should think seriously about what I need from my next machine. It looks like it could be a day to break out the ... VIEW POST
