Hellooooo............I should be creating and ticking off what's on my 'to' do' list, but just can't get into the swing of it yet, so I started a card on the weekend, not for any particular reason, (the one that took my hours lol), and finished it earlier tonight, as I had half hour free ME time, ha ha. I stamped the background with the little flower stamps, cut out the middle section, then used it again to matt and layer the other cardstock. It's not for anyone really, just here in case it is needed one day.............



Materials used:-


Inks - Versacube in Boysenberry and Lime
Kaleidacolor in Desert Heat
Bazzill cardstock - Monochromatic in Velvet
Bazzill Orange from the Bling trio (spoiled brat, 24 karat)
Bazzill Limeade
Labels 1 dies
Valencia ribbon
Misc button
Stamps - Denami Design (think they were the hawaii set from Stamp Addicts)

Size of card is approx 5.5" x 5.5"


I also made up a few meals on the weekend, just to save the toil of doing it straight away when I get in from work. I envy the fact that when I wasn't working, I was able to collect my son from school, then start on the tea and it would all be ready for around 5.15 when Simon came in from work. Everything just seems to be rush, rush, rush nowadays and the time goes soo quickly. Nevermind though, I guess it's the way things go...........



So I made corned beef hash. I know there are various ways of making this, but it was lovely and we ate it for tea yesterday and today. Used a large casserole dish, and whereas normally the meal would be divided into 3, I divided it into 6 lol. It was ample served with vegetables and the other half lasted for another 3 meals. I think we all have to economise and try not to eat too much, what with the recession etc, but it's not going to stop me from having an indian on the weekend, LOL, LOL!!!!
I seem to have moments when I will bake (cakes) on the weekend, then do nothing for weeks, then start back on it again. Think it's the satisfaction of knowing we can eat it at the end, lol.

Anyway, on that note, thanks for looking and see you soon. XX
