THE PurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrFECT CANDLE !!

Hi Everyone  !!!

Two more days and then holidays over and back to work !!!!  What is wrong with me I cannot stop customising candles LOL !!!! It has taken over my life nearly !!! I have load of decorated candles and don't know what to do with them.  I am not sure anybody would buy them ... or would they??? 

I again apologise for the quality of photos ... it is so dark.  I can also assure you that I was not drunk or under the influence of anything while taking the photos but when I look at them they are a bit lop-sided (a bit like me hee hee) !!!

This is the first LARGE candle I have decorated.  I think it would be for a cat lover !!! Anyhoo I think it turned out rather cute .. There are 3 cats on the candle as you can see from the photos.

 The above kitty is my favourite out of the 3 cats !!!

 This one looks a bit cheeky ... don't you think !!!

This looks really moody to me LOL !!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit.  I hope you like my candle !!!

TAKE CARE and as always thank you so much for any comments left.

A HARRY POTTER KIND OF A BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi Everyone !!

My first proper post of 2011 !!! Still some crafting time left before I return to work !!! YIPEE !!

I'd like to share this card with you and I don't really need to tell you who it is LOL !!! This is an 8 inch by 8 inch easel card.  I got the images from Spesch Designer Stamps.  You buy them separately and since I have no clue about computers my dear friend Sharona merged them together for me.  At the time of purchasing these images I did not have Ron but now I do. Sharonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I need your help again LOL ta do Ron Ron !!!

 This is the inside of the card but for some reason it shows up the wrong way round !! Sorry about that ..

I apolgise for the quality of the photos !!! I think I need to go to the sun to take some nice bright photos !!!

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING and any comments you leave I truly truly appreciate them.

TAKE CARE !!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone !!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL !!!!! I hope there were no serious hangovers this morning for any of you LOL !!!! I am only jealous !!!!!

Looking around some of my friends blogs I have noticed some have posting some of their favourite cards of the year.  I have decided to reflect on my personal highlights of 2010.

The major event in our household was visiting Florida again during the summer !!! Hubby paying for us to go VIP tickets around Universal so that we did not need to queue to get into the Harry Potter park !!! THAT WAS AMAZING and we loved it !!!

Another highlight of my year was travelling to London for the day (flying on my own) to meet (for the first time EVER) my dear dear friend whom I met through Etsy Sharona who had travelled to London from Israel.  We had theeeeeeeeeeeeee most wonderful day together !!!

The other highlights are the new friends that I have made in BLOGLAND along the way from all over the world !!!! I am truly blessed to have each and every one of you in my life and I treasure our friendship !!!!

OK enough mushy gushy stuff !!!! I would like to share this card with you.  The image is from Lili of the Valley !!! who have gone from strength to strength in 2010 very well deserved.

The next highlight for 2011 is hopefully hubby and daughter will be taking me in March down to the NEC at Birmingham OH OH OH OH I will be in CRAFT HEAVEN !!!!
May you all be blessed with good health, the love your friends and family in 2011 and of course ALL YOUR FRIENDS IN BLOGLAND !!!!!!

Hugs and thank you for popping in !!!

HIPPIE CHICK GIFT SET

Hi Everyone !!

I would like to thank everyone who commented on the Elvis candle I made, I truly cannot tell you how much I appreciated your comments.

I have gone from having not one ounce of mojo ... now I cannot stop myself LOL !!! I would like to share a gift set I have made.  I haven't made it for anybody and I am not sure if anybody would buy this sort of thing, it just sort of popped into my head and now I have a whole production line going on with candles LOL I cannot stop !!

I made my first little set using an older Anya stamp that I have.  Lucy had bought a paper pad the other day from Hobby Craft called Hippie Chick and this has inspired me for this first collection.  After some bribery she let me have two sheets of paper from her pad WHICH I BOUGHT !!!!

The earrings have been made with shrink plastic.

 There are 3 Anya's on the candle you can see in the reflection.

The candle is still to be wrapped and I still need to make a little Hippie Chick Anya tag. I am quite pleased with the result.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS !!!
