Digitally Sweet Challenge # 73 Anything Goes

Good Afternoon Readers,

Seriously, this is my entry to a fab new challenge blog that I found last week, just by chance....digitally sweet challenges.

Who Holds The Key To My Heart

Tried and Tested Friday # 1 Yogurt Scones

Good Afternoon Readers,

Hope you are all well ...... for those of you who kindly take the time to read my blogs ...... you will know that I have been Healthy Eating, for the last 16 weeks, and have managed to loose 22lbs ....... I feel great, and have been able to get in to clothes that I thought would be going to new homes ...... I will never be a Twiggy, as I am not built that way, but I was not built to be as large as I was ..... apart from the fact that I am not getting any younger, I needed to do something about my weight, soooo, what I am getting at in around about way is that every Friday, I am going to upload a recipe from my healthy Eating Plan, which is Slimming World, you do not have to be watching your weight to try these, as they are scrumptious anyway ...... and if you have a sweet tooth like I have this weeks recipe will be right up your street.....

In this recipe I replaced the Apple Yogurt with a Toffee one, not because I do not like Apples, I just didn't have one, you could use whatever flavour you wanted in this recipe....

Let me now what you think !!!!!!!!

Good Afternoon Readers,

Well what a miserable day ...... certainly not one for hanging the washing out, work was not good this week, had a death , which is never very nice, no matter how much you deal with it you never get used to it ...... so was quite a sad time, so myself and my work colleague  were both very subdued, the only good thing is that they are out of pain, and are hopefully in a better place ..... anyhoo enough of that, I do not want to depress you all...... went up the yard as per usual this morning, although it was raining it was nice to be out in the fresh air, blew away the cobwebs, put Ace for a couple of hours, as he was in all day yesterday, as he had the farrier..... so he was chomping at the bit this morning, gave me a chance to muck out his stable without him following me around hoping for mints ..... caught up with the girls over coffee, then decided to come home, but not before calling in to my fav charity shop Pants ...... and of course came out with arms full of goodies..... 3 tops for me, 2 teddies for the rabble, and a gorgeous king size satin bedspread, still in it's packaging  and a carrier bag of oddments of material, buttons, and funky fibers,ideal for crafting ..... and all for £12.50. what a bargain, returned home went on line and purchased some more goodies, three new digi kits ..... and I used one of them to design my layout for a photo of myself and 

my baby girl Teresa..... 

what do you think !!!!! 

the digi kit is called Swirling Memories....

Good Morning Readers,
I hope you all had a good weekend ...... it always seem's to fly by, Can you believe we are nearly at the end of January, Christmas seem's so long ago, the weather is a bit on the cold side today, went up the yard and it was blowing a hooley, we had to move all the fencing back today as well, and when it did rain it was ice, and blimey it stung your face ..... so was glad to get home by the fire, which is unusual for me, as I do like being outside ...... but then, I have also got to go to work tonight, so had a few things to do at home anyway, at the moment there is lovely smell emanating from my kitchen, I have a chunky vegetable soup in my crock pot simmering away, you can't beat homemade soup especially on a day like today, with a nice crusty roll Hmmmm, anyway's made a card today for a special friend who is having a bit of a rough deal at the moment, hope she likes it, well, that's all from me today, will speak to you again soon, God willing....

Arghhhh Never Again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Readers,

What a day weather wise, so far here in my little corner of Cornwall it is pretty awful, not that I have noticed much this morning, as I am slightly hung over and I'm sure I mumbled something along the lines of never again......So I crawled out of bed this morning to go up the stables, lunged Ace and felt quite sick watching him go round in circles, run the rabble on the fields and returned to the Wendy House soaking wet, even my waterproofs, didn't hold out this morning, so had a strong black coffee with the girl's who should I say were also a little worse for wear, before returning home to the fire ...... but last night was fab, the food was good, as was the company ...... I had my baby girl Teresa with me (38), and the drink was a flowing ...... it really did feel like Christmas again, and it was my duty as a parent, to at some point embarrass my daughter which I am sure I did on more than one occasion !!!!!  Hubby came to pick us up at about 11.45, at this point we were ready to go, but it  was a great evening and enjoyed by all......

Below are just a few of the pics I took.

Good Afternoon Readers,
Hope you are all enjoying your day so far !!!!!!, I have actually entered a challenge not once but twice today, which for me has been a bit of a rarity of late ...... but enjoyed it.... have also begun to Scrapbook, did a couple of layout's for the challenge this morning, and I am hooked, at least I can start to place some of my treasured photo's onto a nice background, rest of the day has been spent doing a few things around the house, I washed the kitchen floor, who in there right mind would put white flooring in a kitchen with three dog's ..... Oh that would have been me !!!! stayed clean for all of two seconds..... then hoovered, and I do think I am becoming obsessed with the hoover ..... as it always seem's to be going ...... I think Hubby would rather I had an obsession with the cooker ......

Digitally Sweet Challenges # 72 Anything Goes ........

Hello Again Readers,

Well that's it ....... I'm hooked , I have never entered a challenge with more than one entry !!!!!!! But today I have, my regular readers will know, that I was given a Digital program by Hubby at Christmas, and I have been playing around making the odd Card, but today I have stared to play around with Scrap Booking, I have soooo many photo's, that are Treasured Memories, why I have not done this before is beyond me, but as the saying goes, It's never too late, so here is my second entry for the challenge over on digitally sweet challenges, and this will be my last !!!!! well for a while anyway's, as I have some stuff to do around the house
 ( Boring) but it has to be done, also I need to make sure that what I am wearing tonight is OK, as I am of to the stables Turkey and Tinsel Party......

Digitally Sweet Challenges #72 'Anything Goes'

Good Morning Crafters,

Hope you are all well, and enjoying the start of the weekend ...... well this is a first for me today, well actually  two firsts!!!!!!!!  Firstly this is a challenge entry something I have not done in a while, not because I have not wanted to, but I just have not had the time ...... what with my own challenge blogs an all, and secondly first ...... I found this super Digital Challenge Blog this morning,  digitally sweet challenges  just by chance I went over to have a look at a layout that Karen had done, and there it was ....... actually this a third first for me as well today ...... My first Scrap Book Layout, something I have been wanting to have a go for a while ...... and here it is, these pictures of Hubby and the rabble were taken last Summer, so I decided to use them in my first layout, not sure if I could have added some more layers to it, but I am pleased with my first attempt.....

Good Afternoon Readers,
Well what a soggy old day, it has not stopped raining here in my little corner of Cornwall all day ....... surely there can't be that much more left up there !!!!! So it was rather soggy and wet up the yard this morning, horses stayed in, but it gave me a chance to catch up with trimming Ace, I cut about 4ins of his tail, as it was dragging on the floor, he has the most gorgeous black tail and so thick, and when it gets wet it goes all wavy ..... so he had his magnetic blanket on this morning, and a trim and a spruce, and by the time I was finished he looked stunning, so I left Ace in his stable happy munching, and went on a livery lesson riding one of Anne's horses, a 16/2 thick set Black Cob called Cyril, he was gorgeous ...... not as gorgeous as Ace obviously ..... very similar in build but slightly taller..... and I had a super lesson, evidently he is being quite strong to hold, and wants to keep galloping to the back of the ride all the time, so Anne decided to put me on him,  and at the end of the lesson Anne did say that I rode him very well, you are always a bit on the cautious side when you ride something new, as you are not sure on there temperament, but Cyril behaved in a most gentlemanly manner...... after I put Cyril back, it was Ace's turn,  so this morning I have rode quite a bit, but loved every minute, the day has been so so much better than yesterday ...... then it was time for a coffee and a banana, I gave my good friend Mary a box of chocolates and a thank you card for being such a gem yesterday, after my ordeal, I made the card last night, and she was delighted with it..... I used my digital program, and a CD my Mum gave me of Sherrie Baldy Digi Stamps....
But for me today has been Fantastic ..... hope you have a good day too!!!!!!

My Craft Haven......

Good Afternoon Readers,

Wow my second blog in one day ...... well I have got out of my state of shock after this morning's rather horrid scare ...... and as my regular readers are aware, I had an early Birthday pressie from my daughter Teresa yesterday,The Tattered Lace Florentine Collection, so retired to my craft haven and had a play around, and below is my design ..... and not a digital element in sight !!!!!! well not for this one anyway,

Thanks Dad .................

Morning Readers,

Do any of you believe in fate ....... I do, I had a terrible experience this morning, I have never been so afraid.  I was driving up the yard as per usual , not much traffic on the roads, as it was quite early, driving along when all of a sudden one of those transit vans that look as though they have been stretched,  just jack knifed a few yards in front of me, I had nowhere to go ....... my instincts told me to get in to the hedge and stop and wait ...... and I did and watched this Transit Van getting closer and closer,it was surreal and looked as though it was all in slow motion, a bit like watching a Die Hard movie, with one of those spectacular car chases..... I was so frightened, not for me, but for my little dog, what will happen to her if it hits us, at which this point I thought it was going to, but it missed us by about 12 ins, I just sat with my head on the steering wheel, shaking and feeling very sick, the driver on the van came over and opened up the door and just knelt by the side of me holding my hand's, he said he didn't think he was going to miss me ...... there was a lady in a car behind him and saw what had happened and she also came over to see if I was OK, and she said she thought I was a gonna ...... I asked the Van driver what had happened, and he said he slowed down but his brakes locked and he had no control, and at one point he thought he was going to role ...... so we all stood there for a while, and I said well mate, somebody was watching out for us this morning, and I know who was watching out for me my Dad. 

Anyway, I thanked my Dad and patted the dashboard of Noah and thanked him for keeping me safe and drove on to the yard, and I thought I was OK, until I parked and then it just hit me, and I broke down sobbing, a mixture of relief that I was alright, and what could have been, if I had been a couple of more yards up the road, I would have been hit, the girls were great and took me to the Wendy House for a strong sweet coffee, I am obviously at home now, and do not plan on going out anywhere this afternoon, but there is truth in what people say, not to be too dramatic, 

but live each day as though it is going to be your last ..... I am going to have a coffee, do a few things around the house and then settle down to do some crafting, whatever you have planned today, stay safe ......

Good Afternoon Readers

Well the weather is much better than yesterday, had a few showers, but also a fair bit of sunshine, made a nice change to go up the stables this morning without getting to wet ...... popped in to see my Mum on the way home today, had a coffee and a chat, which is always nice ...... then returned home, had a shower and then of out again, to have my hair cut, so I have been scalped ..... my daughter Teresa cut's it for me, and I wouldn't go anywhere else, she is not a qualified hairdresser, she just seems to have the knack ....... but she is sooo, fussy, it has to be right, I look in the mirror and think yep it's fine then she starts tweaking it again..... and we noticed today that I have some grey coming through ...... oh well, I did say I was going to grow old ungracefully, so in four weeks time when I go and get it cut again, I am going to have some pale pink highlight's
 put in the fringe ..... my hair is quite short but I have a long fringe, so we decided this was the way to go ..... I also got a lovely surprise when I got there, Teresa has never been one for keeping a secret ..... and I ended up getting an early Birthday Present, and I mean early my birthday is not until June ....... it was a set of Tattered Lace Dies, called Florentine, they are so delicate, there are nine in total, so I will have a play around with them, tomorrow ...... I did say to keep them until it was actually my birthday, but she wouldn't listen to me ....... 
not the first time ....... I also had a play around with my Digital Cd again.

This is Four of them there are Nine in Total

Good Afternoon  Readers,
Hope you are all well, the weather today in my little corner of Cornwall is rather wet ..... to say the least,  roll on the Spring, although I have noticed my Daffodil bulbs sprouting in the garden already, will they survive I ask myself, or are we going to get the dreaded Snow, that has been threatened over the last couple of weeks, hopefully not, anyhoo, did something different this morning up at the stables, put my horse Ace out for a couple of hours, then brought him and rode, yes I know it was raining but we were already wet ..... we both came back rather muddy, as he was galloping across the bottom fields mud was splattering up everywhere, but once again, it was exhilarating,  just what I needed .... not sure Ace thought the same ...... I also did the second chore on my to do list, cleaned out my tack room...... only two more things to do, clean the inside of my truck, and tidy up my Craft Studio....... Wednesday I will be going to see my Mum and then I am having my hair cut, ready for the dinner and dance on Saturday..... so a busy day tomorrow, so will not be riding, and for my regular readers, you may remember I mentioned that I have been on a Healthy Eating plan, well  I need to loose another two pounds, and I will have lost 2 stone, in just sixteen weeks, it's amazing......  on return home after a much needed shower, I retired to my Craft Studio for a bit,  and I am hooked yes hook line and sinker, on my digital craft program that Hubby got me for Christmas, so I have been playing, and below is the layout I designed, there is still loads that it will do, but I am learning it bit by bit....

Good Afternoon Readers,
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend ...... I had a lovely day yesterday, spent my one day a week with hubby.......  we only get to spend a Sunday together, work commitments and all, the weather wasn't to bad, we took the rabble for a lovely walk late afternoon, then watched the fellowship of the Rings (again) on our return, it's amazing how you re watch a film and not remember bits from the first time you watched it, but it is still an amazing film, we will be watching part two this evening, I am on annual leave from work this week so plan to spend some quality time together .....
This morning was much the same as most of my morning's unless of course I am working ..... so went up the yard, have done one of the things on my to do list, cleaned out my feed room ..... it is lovely and tidy at the mo, not sure how long it will last mind, tomorrow I tend to tackle my tack cupboard, and ride my horse, weather permitting...... had a relaxed coffee with the girl's and a chat, which is always nice, we tend to put the world to right's, talk about our family, and generally, give each other advice, and the occasional shoulder to lean on ...... our topic of conversation this morning, was the stables Turkey and Tinsel party, that is being held on Saturday,  myself and my daughter Teresa will be going, Hubby does not like social gatherings ...... so he has kindly offered to drop us of and pick us up, as we sat chatting, the sun was out then all of a sudden the clouds opened up, and it tipped it down with rain, so I ran out to my truck and took a couple of pics of an amazing Rainbow, also took another photo of my boy Ace, looking quite relaxed in his stable.... on my return home, I decided to have a play around with one of the new computer programs that Hubby got me for Christmas, unfortunately, I am not very good when it come's to shading, I never seem to get it right, I look at all the beautiful Designs that Crafter's have done, and they even have the highlight's in the hair, my Mum is perfect when it comes to shading, but not me, mine looks like it did when I was a child and coloured in my colouring book's, I do try not to go over the edges, but I'm not always successful !!!!!!!!

Recipe for my Design,
White Base Card size 5 by 5 
Image by Pantheon Arts and Graphics
The whole of my design has been layered using my Do Craft's Digital Programme, 
The Image was a solid object, but I used the programme to rub out some of the background, to make it more of a silhouette, then just layered on to it the objects I required, on a couple of the images I have faded them, so they do not look so harsh, giving the overall effect a more Vintage Look. I must admit, I did enjoy doing this design, and will certainly use it again.....

Good Morning Readers,

How are we all ...... the weather has been on the gloomy side, in my little corner of Cornwall ...... everything is so soggy, still it could be worse, compared to some other countries, we should count ourselves lucky !!!! , anyhoo, what ya all been up to, me I was up with the lark's again this morning, but before I could set of up to the yard, I had to de-ice my truck ...... took me by surprise actually, as although it has been pretty gloomy, it has been quite mild, ....... took the rabble with me, this morning and I don't think they were to impressed by the ice either ....... decided to ride my horse this morning !!!!!!!! and he was a complete loony, it was like riding a rocking horse, but I enjoyed every minute of it, he can have his tantrum's, owing to the fact he was gelded late in his life, so he still behaves like a Stallion, he has the big shoulders and thick neck..... but this morning it was also because of the cold air, he got very excited, so we did an awful of cantering ....... and not much trotting, he was snorting like a Dragon, and my eyes were streaming with the cold air, but it was so exhilarating, certainly blew the cobwebs away, and it was gloriously sunny with blue skies, I could of just kept on going, to a distant land, once back in the yard, Ace was put back in his stable to cool of, he was rather sweaty on his return, and I went and had a well earned coffee, with my friend Mary who  said  me and Ace are well matched, as he is so unpredictable, and I enjoy a challenge!!!!!  once I was home I was welcomed by the most amazing smell when I walked through the door, Hubby had been making flapjack's, and they smelt gorgeous. .... he had also made me a vegan jelly, I used to use the sugar free jelly in the packet, until Hubby told me they had pig gelatin in them, not so good when you are a vegetarian ......  so hubby has had a rather productive morning, I have also done a few things on my blogs like announcing winners etc, and even found some time to make a card for a friend at work ...... but this afternoon I am going to relax by the fire and watch yet again the Fellowship of the Rings,
 what are you all doing !!!!!!!

Each one of the Challenges will be 
Anything Goes.....
apart from each month there will be,
a Mid Month Sketch, 
otherwise Anything Goes, as long as the project is
Christmas....


Morning Readers,
Not such a good day so far...... woke up with a splitting headache, not so good ....... up the yard first thing as usual, to find Ace my horse must have had a party in his stable last night judging by the mess ....... so cleared all that up, had a coffee and a chat with the girls ...... popped in to my fav charity shop on the way home, brought the rabble some more teddies, and of course purchased another top for myself ...... then went down my Mum's to find the door locked, rang the bell, nothing, knocked on the glass nothing, so left her flowers and creme eggs on the doorstep, and drove home, for all of you who are thinking, how could she drive away, without making sure Mum was alright, fear not she lives with my Brother and his car was outside, so I knew all was well...... still got my headache, so not in the best of moods by this point, returned home, to phone ringing, my friend Sherry, had a chat with her for a bit, and she must have noticed my mood was low, when told her about headache, she said it may due to the full Moon we have had over the last couple of day's, and also informed me that I have also been a bit sharp at work ....... oh dear, I thought, why does no one tell you ...... any way, headache is subsiding now after taking some painkillers, and hopefully the full Moon will star waning soon as well ..... but oddly enough, my star sign is
 Cancer, and being a water sign, I am governed by the Moon, so who knows......
