Hope you all had a good weekend........First things first, I would like to welcome Vanildekleine, thank you for taking the time to join my blog ,please pop back from time to time......  well it's that Monday morning feeling again....... and for many of us it's the start of  work again..... me the start of four night shift's....... so went down to see my Mum this morning, to have a coffee and a chat........ she is looking sooo much better since her spell in hospital, and she has given up smoking as well, so things are looking up, although she has been suffering from some side effects, which appears perfectly normal according to the internet, what she should have done was to cut down, till she eventually she had none, but Mum has stopped all, hence the side effects, I am so proud of her for doing it...... wish I could do the same for chocolate.......... but hey I don't smoke or drink, so a girl's gotta have something...... although, hubby say's my vice is craft stash......... yep think he has a point, this morning, I went on the dreaded E-Bay, and purchased some Tim Holtz distress inks, Tea Dye, Rusted Hinge, Tumbled Glass, and Victorian Velvet, and I also got the Spellbinders Bitty Blossom Die, so yes I think Hubby was right, shh don't tell him....... below is my entry for the challenge over on christmascardchallenges. the theme is a non traditional Christmas Image..

Good Morning Readers,

Well the weather today here in Cornwall, is better than yesterday, we had so much rain...... that I did think about getting some flippers........ but today we have cloud and sunshine, have you noticed that the night's are beginning to draw in already, and the morning's seem to be darker....... but I do love Autumn, I love the red's and brown's, the leaves are beginning to fall of the trees in my garden already, soon my lawn will be a blanket of them....... anyhoo, let's see if we can just hang on to Summer for a bit longer...... well up with the larks again this morning, and up the yard as normal....... today was dreaded water day, myself and Julie  have to push in total 300,gallons OOPSIE, should be 30 gallons, as my Mum quoted you are filling a trough NOT a swimming pool.....of water into our field, we use 5 gallon containers and push it down in our wheelbarrows to fill the trough, we scrub it out once a week..... and the lane we have to go down is a farm lane so lots of bumps and pot holes, by the end of it our arms feel about 8ft long....... but good exercise !!!!!!!!!! so of course we needed a coffee after that, then we done the usual, I rode Ace, and then walked the dog's,  on the way home popped in to the Horse Box, ( It's an Animal Feed Store) could have spent a fortune, but came out with a new Hay Net for Ace bright Green, and a bag of feed woohoo....... and then returned home, to get down to some serious crafting........Below is my entry for the challenge over on simplylessismoore

Good Afternoon Readers,

Well I have been off radar, for a few day's....... did four night shifts last week, so did not finish till Friday morning, and yesterday, I had to go and have  a mammogram done, blimey, now I know what it must be like for a toasted sandwich, being squashed between the sandwich maker........ it hurt, still done and dusted till the next time........ anyhoo, how you all been, weather here in Cornwall today horrible, rain and hard at times, came back from the yard soaked...... had to put up some fencing in Ace's field, could not have picked a worse time to do it....... but at least it is done, so as far as crafting is concerned, have done nothing, nada ziltch, so I am going to try and make up for it over the weekend...... as I have another four night shift's next week...... and then I am on annual leave for a week yipee...... so when I have finished talking to you lovely people, I am going to give my craft room a tidy, once again it looks like it has been ransacked, but before I go I would like to share my entry for allsortschallenge which is use your new stash, so I have used my new Spellbinder Gold Labels Four, which I purchased from E-Bay.
