Phew! it's hot.....

This weather is fabulous, it's a long time since we've had a decent spell of good weather, let's hope it lasts. Trouble is, it's too hot to be inside crafting so I haven't got much done just lately. I might try and do something tonight as it's too hot to sleep.
I had a great idea at work today...........as it's fairly quiet for the next 3 days, I thought it would be a good time to catch up on all my paperwork and what better place to do it.........outside in the sunshine, it was lovely, until a few hours later I looked in the mirror and saw that I have a big red face, even worse........a big red nose!!!!!!! I won't post a picture of myself.....it's not a good look.....lol!!!

Recipe Cards







These are 3 recipe cards that I made for a swap on http://www.atcsforall.com/ All recipes were either vegetarian or vegan. The host has very kindly offered to make a zine of all the cards and is sending one to every member of the swap. Looking forward to getting my returns and trying out some of the recipes.

What a beautiful evening......







Finished work fairly early today so I took the dog for a walk in his favourite place.....Windsor Great Park, I must admit it's one of my favourite places too. I think I have the naughtiest dog in the whole of the UK..........but I wouldn't change him for the world.



I adopted him from Battersea Dogs Home (Bellmead Windsor branch) nearly two years ago and we're slowly getting him to do as he's told but he still likes to dissappear for the odd 10 - 15 minutes chasing rabbits...........meet Bobby.

Sugar and Spice......


and all that's nice, that's what little girls are made from.........or so they say. This is my entry for this weeks Tuesday taggers challenge, vintage bookmarks. I didn't think I would be doing one this week as time was very limited, but hey! I managed, and I'm pleased that I did because I now have a lovely bookmark for my book instead of turning the page corners over.....tut tut!!

Greenday at Wembley




Had a great night last night at Wembley stadium watching Greenday in concert. It was fantastic, they played for 3 hours and I mean played.....not only was their music brilliant but they were such fun and the stage back grounds were brilliant, I just loved the artwork but you can't see much in the picture as it was taken on my phone camera so it's not great.

Busy summer ahead

I'm trying my best to keep up with my crafting through the summer, it's always a very busy time for me at work and it seems to take over my life until mid August, so this year I'm determined to do some crafting a couple of times a week at least.
I've just ordered some new Stampotique stamps from The Stamp Attic so once they arrive I'll be having a little playtime with them.......can't wait.
This weeks challenge for Tuesday Taggers is a vintage bookmark, what a great challenge, I must try and get mine done before the weekend as I'm off to see Greenday in concert at Wembley Arena
I'm hopping around everywhere at the moment as I got bitten by a mosquito on my ankle last Sunday and I have a severe allergic reaction to them so I have an ankle the size of a football at the moment and it's VERY painful. How could something so small cause so much pain.......?

Think I'll go and tidy up my craft space as I can't actually get on my desk at the moment........lol!!
