Whiff of Joy Blog Hop 30th Nov - 5th Dec.

Today is the first day of Whiff of Joy's Blog Hop, but that's not all from December 1st you have a chance to 'open the advent calendar' and win prizes too!  Pop over to Katharina's Blog HERE and have some fun!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Penn!

Apologies my fellow bloggers, but it seems real life sometimes consumes you and does not really want to let go, but here I am for a few moments or too.

Firstly, I would like to congratulation two of my university buddies on finally tying the knot after 9 years together.  As they added, having the little Baby arrive kind of sped up things and here they are now Husband & Wife.  As with crafty tradition their gift from myself and my DH was hand crafted.

The papers are from my own stash.

Stamped Image is from LOTV and coloured with Distress Inks.

For added effect I used icicle stickles and some fun braid.

I also decorated the inside of the card to comliment the front.

With a few more 'events' in my diary I will be crafting a few more goodies too, so hold on.

My mug!

I have not long joined the Docrafts creativity club and as part of your welcome gift you get a mug.  Just so the dear husband didn't get any ideas, ith permnant marker I clearly stated that this mug was mine!

As you can see it's a bit messy too! 

Back to University.

I've decided to go back and study, like the first time around and £19,000 debt wasn't enough.  Nope I want out of this country and a career change too!  My first degree well everyone does Psychology and a Desmond two two was quite respectable despite the lack of studying, this time it's a first class or nothing.

The subject?  Environmental Science, was always good at science.  The Open University is great as it allows study part time while we all have to work full time just to stick Petrol in the car thats gets us to work, crazy ey! 

So i'll be a lot busier than at the moment, but I'll still try and find some time to relax by participating in blog challenges and stuff.

Best Fishes with Oliver's Orchard

Mr Citylink man came and collect the skis, they are now on their merry little way to Scotland, oh yes, that is part of my mum's eternal junk. Just a hockey stick to go now!

Now, the lovely people over at I<3 Promarkers  are giving us all free reign with 'Anything Goes'.  Mine goes a bit like this, after having my feet eaten by loads of tickling little fishies and nearly screaming the shopping centre down with laughter, it gave me a thought of inspiration.

'Best Fishes' on your birthday

Now this stamp is from Oliver's Orchard.  On a lovely warm summer's day fishing for tiddlers ready to put in your glass jar and take home.  I love the fact that the shoes are hanging in the tree.

The papers are from making memories, photo corners from We R memory keepers, felt ribbon from papermania, image was coloured using my trusted promarkers.  All backed onto a 5 x 5 kraft cardstock card.







Even the inside is decorated, just to finish it off.  It makes a change to make a boy themed card as really everything is almost cute and girly.
