Not been a very productive week for crafting as have been soooo busy at work. Had to spend a lot of the weekend doing dreaded house work and all the time mind kept drifting back to wanting to make some Christmas cards . Well if I'm honest I need to start my Christmas cards - I have bought lots of nice papers and stamps and all I seem to have done is put them in a box, get them out again, have a stroke, have a bit of an ooh & an aah then tidy them back again. Does any one else do this?? The way this is going I will be buying the cards (again!)...........

Having spent about 4 hours driving to South Wales & back with my daughter for her sport what did I decide to do when I got home?. Well, it was get back in the car and make a trip to a reasonably local craft shop which I found out stocks some of the Magnolia range. Had, a lovely time, a very nice chat and bought a sweet Tilda from the Pink collection and also my very first stampavie - a trendy girly carrying some presents. However in my enthusiasm to get to the shop I forgot to get any petrol so drove the 15 or so miles constantly watching the dial that told me I had no miles left! Managed to get home but no have no idea how I am going to get fuel tomorrow as the nearest petrol station is definitely too far..
Had a try at making some cards, one for my sister-in-law, papers are from Dovecraft and ribbon and gems from the bottom of one of my craft boxes. The Tilda card is made with papermania papers and coloured with Whisper(?) pens but felt it was hard work putting it together just wish I was a bit more creative - maybe this is a good excuse to go and be inspired by other crafty blogs.....

Couldn't sleep so had a play using a Tilda & her horse stamp from Magnolia. Really enjoyed colouring so stamped another six and will make some cards to give to my friends daughter who is mad about horses!. Only hope she doesn't get tired of the same card.....
Best try to get some sleep as have a long drive to Wales tomorrow

Well, after many hours looking, reading and being inspired by other "crafty" bloggers I have finally taken the plunge and have a go.
I guess the next step is to make something.......
