Been a while!

Well back again - don't know where the time has gone. Having work done in the house so crafting a bit curtailed as I can't lay my hands on what I want when I want it!! heh heh

Getting on well with the cricut and got some new cartridges from Customs Crops - they really do some great deals and good service too.

Have been scrapbooking though with my neighbour and getting on with my grandsons album - I have to have it done for his 18th in Dec which will be here soon enough. I'm still looking for some of his old photos - I wish I had been more organised with them.

There have been lots of craft tv shows on lately which mean I sit and watch when I should sit and do - but don't we all sometimes? Still I have picked up some good ideas from Dawn and guests on QVC and the cricut presenters from Provocraft on C & C.

July - where's the sun gone?

Well although the month started promisingly and it looked as though summer was here - sadly it went all too soon and we are back to monsoon weather without the warmth. Good for crafting and internet craft shopping though - now so good for the purse!!

Have been having fun with the cricut and also so glad I took the plunge and bought a gypsy - great fun designing - also increasing my library of cartridges from Custom Crops. These have been really helpful for scrapbooking as the gypsy font is lovely for old photo layouts.

Was given an old negative from my parents wedding in 1937 of the wedding party which I had to send to a specialist lab for printing. It came back a couple of weeks ago and after scanning to computer and having a play extracting elements made up a layout   with the large image for the family scrapbook. Sadly doesn't fit on the scanner so can't upload.

Had to do it!

Well I have made the leap and ordered a cricut gypsy - got a good deal from craft superstore. It will be a better way to spend my time on the train when I visit relatives as I should be able to design cards etc to cut when I get back to the cricut. Also bought 2 of Tim Holtz new dies the birdcage is so fab. I cut out some in balsa wood and am going to make a mobile. I will post it when finished.

Still trying to sort out my stash but now have a better idea of what I want to keep and what to let go - so some progress. However it is some job although probably don't need to tell anyone that as I am sutre most crafters have to deal with this situation at some point.
