Some Awards ...

A while ago I received some lovely awards, these first two are from the lovely Vicky, thank you so much hun, I really appreciate them and thank you for being my blogging friend :0)



This second one is from both Gina and Sue:

The whole thing started with the movie "Pay it forward". The role model of Haley Joel Osment, gives a great deed to another person. The only attach to the one who receives it, is that he/her has to promise to give something that matters to others. A simple demand, that may not be as simple that it sounds? Someone has now taken this principle further, and made it into a gift. The rules are simple - everyone can join, and only 3 rules have to be fulfilled:


1. You must have your own blog, so that you can spread the message.

2. You must like to make others happy.

3. You must ship your 3 gifts within the next 365 days.

I will be back with my 3 choices shortly :0)

Elzybells Shop

So what do you think of my new look blog? I thought it could do with a change for the New Year. I haven't changed it that much though just added a background and sort of a new header.

Anyway, I popped on here to tell you that the Elzybells shop has now re-opened so you can order to your hearts content! Be sure to keep an eye of the blog as we have some exciting things happening over at Elzybells later in the week!

My Shopping Trip

So after having a bit of a rubbish week last week I decided I needed cheering up a bit! Today I went on a proper shopping trip to Crafts U Love and The Craft Barn for some retail therapy. I have never been to either of these shops before and it took about 45 mins drive to Crafts U Love then another 30 mins to get to The Craft Barn. It was really nice going to some proper craft shops. Where I live there is only 2; one in a department store selling Do Crafts stuff and another really small one (which is packed full though). I thought you may like to see what I bought ... (I have left the pic small so you can click on it for a better view)

It was strange going into Craft U Love (good strange though) after having been a customer of their online shop for so long it was strange walking around it! It was a bit of a long drive but worth the journey, what a lovely shop!! Lovely customer service and I could have spent all day in there (and spent a fortune too!). The Craft Barn was lovely as well, managed to pick up some Prima Flowers and they have TONS of paper! What I really liked about both shops was that they had loads of handmade cards all along the walls which was really nice.

I will be back tomorrow will some cards!

I have received two lovely awards in the last couple of weeks. The first is from Natalie and Vicki, thank you so much ladies. Really means a lot to me. The second is from Natalie and Denise, again thank you so much and the third from Tracy, thank you!




I am really thankful to have met such lovely women while crafting, from Do Crafts and from the wonderful world of blogging. I would like to pass them on to everyone who visits my blog as I am appreciative of everyone one of you :0) I am sorry I haven't been a great blogging friend recently, I have been visiting your blogs but not always able to leave comments. Things have been so hectic lately, I have been working 4 days a week 12.5 hours at a time as well as trying to find a job for when I qualify! Hopefully I will get some time soon to make some cards!!

Message for my Secret Sisters

I have just tried to send you all an e-mail but they are all coming back saying that they haven't been sent and that there is a failure???? I do not have a clue what is going on, sorry!

Anyway, I have put back the date for sending till the 10th August, I am sorry for the inconvenience but hope that is ok with you all. It is much better for me to be honest. I will send out e-mails for who has got who shortly (when I know they will actually send!)

Thanks,
