Sorry for being AWOL!

Wow, I hadn't realised I hadn't posted since November! So many things have gone on and I don't feel that I have time to catch up on 6 months worth of news, but I'll do a quick update on what is going on at the moment in my life.

Well I'm still making my cards, I've also got into making ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) and I have more recently got into making jewellery. I've been thinking more recently about trying to make pieces to sell so I might try and sort out a website for those soon!! I shall make another post completely with somre of my more recent makes as this post is more than likely going to get rather long otherwise!!

In the personal side of my life, I am currently not working, although there are a couple of things in the pipeline which I am working on!! On April 28th I got together with a fabulous guy called Ross and I can't get over how happy he makes me. We see each other most weekends and we're really close, it's lovely to be so happy with someone....and the way it has worked we've just kind of clicked and hit it off!! :)

I've also got back into the powerboat racing at Oulton Broad, it gives me another chance to go out on a Thursday night and to go and see Ross :) We went to the Nationals racing on May bank holiday weekend. I'm going to try and have a go this year as I've always wanted to and now it seems the best chance to get out then and try it.

Finally, I've got back into my photography in general. I've re-opened a DeviantART account which you can find the page of here should you wish to do so :)

I'll leave you with a photo of me and Ross together (think this was taken on 17th May)

Thank You Golden Hippie....oooh and Fishies!

Just to say a quick thanks to Golden Hippie (Laverne) over on the CB forum for this beautiful RAK of papers, embelishments, a rubber stamp and a lovely "Get Well Soon" card!

And a little welcome to my lovely new fishies who I have had since last Saturday!

Gaius (Orange One)

Merlin (almost all white)

Arthur (orange and white)

A few more crafting bits....woah and Christmas!

I've been making some more cards recently and I thought I would take this time to share them with you again!

This is a thank you card I've made for my Mum's "confidence skills" teacher!

And then woah here are my most recent Christmas cards....eek Christmas is coming :S

Dragon Bookmark!

I needed a new bookmark and I had this image downloaded for quite a while so I decided this morning that I would make it!

Close-up of the dragon design!

The completed bookmark!

And on a completely different note, I've been feeling a bit down recently because I haven't been riding for ages! I'm going on Sunday and to remind me of how great it is the picture at the top of my blog is of my lovely share horse Barney!

Some new makes

Seeing as my small camera is suitably dead and my trust old camera only seems good for pictures with little detail I will be uploading pictures of my card makes occaionally when I can be bothered to faff about with my bulky DSLR!

Here are some of my latest makes from this week!

I loved this baby elephant decoupagé so much I used it to make an unsual "New Baby" card!

I used this tall card and a decoupage image to create this vintage feel blank.

This is a special card I have made to the Snow Patrol lads for their kindness last Monday after their show in London and will be sending this off shortly! The snow flake brads are linked to them as it was their old symbol and the stars as that is what is on their new album cover!

This anniversary card is one that I have been asked to make for my Nannie's friend's wedding anniversary!

And finally my first make from the new LMCs kit!

Completely un-craft related! SNOW PATROL GIG PICS!

Well although I'm a bit late with this I figured I'd post my favourite pictures from the Snow Patrol gig on Monday 27th in London!

Firstly a couple from the awesome Bradley Quinn

Meeting Nathan Connolly afterwards (we only stood outside for an hour and a half to meet the band!)

My pictures from the gig (using my trust old 2mp camera!)

St Pancras Station (the only "touristy" shot I took)

Ooooh and in other news, I got offered job with MenCap on Friday afternoon! It's based in Rackheath which is the other side of Norwich to me, but I have to take it because I need a job and it's the one job I really really wanted to get this week! Will have to look into certain things like possibly renting out in the city or something once I've got through the training and know I'm going to stick it out!
