There is light

at the end of the Tunnel.
My card party last weekend was a success. Sold loads of cards and got lots of orders.
made over £100. So I was well chuffed. been busy this week making some of the orders.Not many left to do now.Then I can start playing with bits I haven't had chance to play with. And do some blog challenges.
Today I am having a lazy day, tonight I am taking my hubby out for dinner as its his birthday today. He knows nothing about it at the moment, have have arranged for some friends to come too. so should be a nice evening.

Anyway going to get a coffee now. so take care all and Happy crafting.

No time to spare

oh why oh why do I always leave things till the last minute. One day I will learn.......Well I hope I will this time. I have a card party to do on the 21st of this month. And guess wot I have a stock box which is very low. the last 3 weeks I have been working on everyday birthday and other cards from men, woman, children. And final on Monday I started on Christmas cards.
So sadly at the moment I haven't got time to take part in challenges etc. Just as I am getting into and finding some lovely blogs with challenges on. yes I could be doing these challenges and using them cards to put in my stock box. but need to get cards made quick. so putting aside the blogging and challenges until after the party is out the way.
Which I must say is really doing my head in at the mo, as I have new stamps which I am wanting to play with.
also this week I have 5 cards to make for my father in laws birthday, 4 cards for my hubby's birthday, and 4 cards for brother in laws birthday. oh and 1 anniversary card.
I hate November its my worst month for cards.
think I had better find some match sticks.

hope everyone is keeping busy and well.

Magnolias & copics

I decided to have yet another play with magnolias and copics pens. I just cant seem to get these cards right. not just getting papers right but colouring tooo.
So while at my local craft shop today Fairymoon crafts
I asked Pina one of the parteners to chosse me some papers and a magnolia and I had to come up with a card. Coloring isn't the best, and really need practice with shading.
would love to hear your honest comments on this please.
