I've been tagged by Sarah. Thank you Sarah.

You have to go to your fourth photo folder, choose the fourth photo and post it.

This is what I found - my little man playing at pirates - think he was trying to escape from Cap'n Mummy.

So now to tag 4 people:

Harrogate Show

I went to the Papercraft Show in Harrogate yesterday. I went for a look really, I didn't need anything, but a few things fell in to my shoping basket as you can see from above!

I had a great day and I met up with Jules for coffee a couple of times and I also met up for lunch and coffee with some of my lovely friends from UKS. It was absolutely brilliant.

I just need some time and energy to play with some of my stuff now - I am exhausted today and have a really busy week ahead. Never mind, it will soon be Easter and I can't wait to try out my Copic markers and my new stamps. Yay!

Inspired by Sarah B

Sarah
makes such beautful 3D projects and a short while ago she made a lovely file folder using one of the Timeless Templates on the Papertrey Ink website.
This is my effort, which is not as gorgeous as Sarah's I hasten to add, but I love how dinky it is!
These are so useful for so many things and it is the perfect size for storing Cuttlebug Embossing Folders.
I love it, and I'm going to make some more to store some cards in.

Jeannette's Jem Challenge

As you can see I decided to make a criss-cross card with the lovely items that Jeannette sent us all. I love the colours Jeannette, thank you.
I made my flowers with the Stampin' Up! 5 petal punch and my retro flower punch. Everything is from the goodies that Jeannette sent us except for my Adornit alphabet stickers used on the sentiment and a dab of gold stickles on the wings.
I also made the tab with the SU Tab punch.
I coloured the image with Chocolate Chip and So Saffron inks and the SU blender pen.
I can't wait to see what we have all made.
I shall be looking at everybody's later tonight because I am having a card making evening at my house tonight with some friends, so I'm not sure what time I'll finish.

Country cottage swap

This is for a swap on UKS. I do love making cards but I absolutely love altering things and I love vintage items and ephemera.
We had to alter a 6 x 6 inch cottage template for this swap and I am looking forward to seeing the cottage that I will be sent in return for this one.

Luckiest Mummy

Well I thought I would show you what my darling boy (aged 6) has made me for Mother's Day.
Here is the card he made me at school. The butterflies on the front are painted with finger prints.


And a hand sewn bookmark - I can't do stitching as neatly as that! LOL.

I can't think of anything that I would rather have - to me they are priceless and I shall treasure them forever.

Daddy also came up trumps by adding a bottle of Bollinger champagne which is very nice!

My (Little) Crafting Space

Here is my craft room. I love having my own space and I can close the door on the mess I make - although the photos were taken when the room was tidy I must admit that the place is usually a complete tip!
This used to be my son's room, but he has moved in to a bigger bedroom now. I was just going to move all my stuff in without decorating but my hubby persuaded me to have it decorated first and I am so grateful that he did - it wouldn't be the same sharing with lots of bright coloured stripes and stencilled pictures! LOL
Since these pictures I have added another expedit unit just inside the door but I still don't have enough storage space, so I think I shall have to do some serious sorting this year!
