A Card or 2

Helllooo everyone, i hope that you all are having a wonderful weekend with a little bit of r & r and a little bit of family time and of course a little bit of me time.

First up is my entry for the monthly challenge at TM's
It's a bit different than what i usually do-I have never used paint like this on a LO before and the colours would not be my choice as i tend to opt for the warmer and natural colours. This is why it's called a challenge. It's funny these things sit in my too hard basket for a couple of weeks then I get them out and inspiration strikes. This is one of my favourite photos of Joe he was 6 months old. I have made quite a few cards this week (none are my own designs). These Christmas ones are from a kit designed by Tracey aren't they gorgeous.
And these ones are a kit from you guessed it my favourite Co. "Basic Grey". They were really easy, everything is supplied even the envelopes. Two are missing as I have already used them.

If you are in to handbags click on the link on the left. (DIY Bag Lover)What a fabulous blog, there has to be hundreds? oh OK, a lot of patterns here for so many different handbags and they are all for free. Most have tutorials as well-that's for people like me who need step by step instructions. Even if you cant sew its worth a look and then maybe you could find a nice friend to make one for you. Ha - don't ask me b/c you will be waiting a loooooong time.

My mum is coming over for lunch tomorrow and we are going to have roast lamb (it is Sunday after all). I figure that mum will probably never cook a roast again as it is way to much for one person to eat and as mum has a sweet tooth i had better go and think about what we will be having for sweets.

Thanks for stopping by
Linda

You've been a busy girl! Love those card kits from BG...am always tempted to buy one just for fun. Yours look stunning! Your LO is cute, and love what you've done with the paint. I don't tend to go too artsy either :) too lazy! Enjoy the time with your Mum, that is so thoughtful of you. What's for dessert?
P.S. packing going very slowly, but getting there!
