Good Afternoon Readers,
Are you all enjoying your weekend ...... well not sure what the weather is like were you are, but today in my little corner of Cornwall we have had a bit of Snow, not much just a flurry, and the sky keeps going dark ...... I do hope we do not get any, only everything comes top a standstill here in Cornwall..... and the gritters usually grit when it's gone ....... for the past couple of weeks Tesco's have been selling large bags of rock salt and snow shovels, do they now something we don't I wonder, but I may just get some in case ...... anyhoo, apart from the odd flurry, the weather has been sunny at times, actually been able to put some washing out, which has been a rarity of late, well apart from going up the stables this morning, I have really not done much at all since I have been back, have put a chunky veg soup in the crock pot, but that'a about it, hubby has been doing his Jamie Oliver bit again, cooked me a slimming world cheese cake which looks rather delicious, and he is now sitting in front of the TV watching his beloved Tottenham  play ...... have not heard any shouting yet not sure if that's a good sign ...... so positioned myself in front of my computer, and designed a card using my beloved digi kits, so whatever you have planned for the rest of the day, stay safe and warm.

Good Afternoon Readers,
How are you all doin, on this miserable Saturday, not the going out kind of weather, so what a better way to spend an afternoon but to craft ...... which is what I have been doing, now as my regular readers will know I am totally hooked on Digital crafting at the mo,  which means my die cutting machines are lying dormant for the time being, I have never been any good at cutting around digi stamps, I always seem to chop a crucial bit of, like a leg or an arm, which is OK if you want to scare the recipient to death with a mutilated
 image ....... but does not bode well. .... my Mum can sit and cut around the tiniest of image perfectly, but me NO, so these digital kits you get are perfect for me, as there is no cutting involved, just place your image in the said programme, and it takes all the background out for you, ideal, anyhoo, I was leaving a comment on one of the entries on my challenge blog  Fan-Tastic Tuesday  and found the lady had made her card out of digital elements, and left a link to were she purchased them dianesdaydreamdesigns so I popped on over to have a peep, and guess what a set jumped straight in to my basket, cheeky little devil, they have some very pretty designs with matching backing papers, I have not used mine yet, but I am sure it wont take long, anyhoo, I did make a design using the two new digi sets I have purchased, and the design is below,
Stay Safe and Keep Warm My friends 

Vintage Memories


Rather Dramatic ..................

Good Morning Readers,
Hope you are safe and well, the weather here in my little corner of Cornwall today is terrible, very windy with heavy hail showers, not shopping weather ....... so today I went up the yard as per usual, none of the horses are going out today they are all safely in there stables, I took Ace in the school this morning just to give him a workout as he was staying in all day.... had a quick coffee with the girls before departing to visit my Mum, she was extremely pleased with the skirt I got her yesterday, so we had a chat mainly about crafting and the weather, and then I decided to leave to return home, but before I did I went to Portreath Beach, to have a gander as you do, and the sea was amazing, I always carry my camera in the truck, so I ran back to get it so I could some photos, and here they are.......  
I will be back later to speak some more.....

Good Afternoon readers,
Well what a lovely day we have had in my little corner of Cornwall today, Sunshine and NO rain, well not at the moment that is, we are due to have the bad weather back later today..... and the weekend is not looking to good either, oh well, what ya all been up to this week, I now a lot of you will have been working, I finished my working week yesterday morning, so I am not back in till Monday night, trouble is it goes so quick..... well, up the yard as per usual this morning, put my Boy out in the sunshine, and rode Cyril again, he is lovely to ride, big and chunky, just the way I like em, after that had a coffee with the girls, and a chat, then returned home, but of course not before popping in to my fav charity shop PANTS, and once again came out armed full of goodies, in the middle of the shop there was a huge table piled high with clothes, and it was fill a bag for a £1.00 yes that's right a £1.00.... came home with some lovely stuff, got my Beautiful Mum, a skirt, she is only a size six, and to get long skirts for her is a nightmare, also got my baby girl Teresa who is 38 by the way, a nice top which I think is right up her street, and me well I got 5 tops in total, and a pair of jeggings ...... so the washing machine has been working overtime..... and the spending didn't stop there ..... came home to find I had a voucher from Daisy Trail, so spent that and some, in there shop on some new Digi Kits, but I promise I will not buy anymore until the end of the month !!!!!!
Below is the Design I made using One of My New Digi Kits, and I have entered it in to the new challenge over on digitallysweetchallenges, this week the theme is fun.....

Good Afternoon Readers,
Just a short post from me today, as I am just coming too from finishing my third night shift, was not going to blog until tomorrow, but saw this and just had to share it with you, it is so nice to have some happy news, instead of all the doom and gloom we have been having at the mo........and do we really want to know if Liz Hurley had an affair with one of the American Presidents, I sure as hell don't.......
