Good Morning Readers,

Well it's a grotty day here this morning, in my little corner of Cornwall, it's quite dark a typical Winter's morning, if there is such a thing ..... what's it like 

were you are ....... did not do any blogging yesterday, felt a bit yuck ....... and no it was nothing to do with the fact, that on Saturday I went and had a coffee and a chat with Sherry and Mark from work ..... even though I did have one G&T, I think it was because, when I was up the yard on Sunday , I was quite busy doing fencing and filling up a rather large water trough, and it was raining and no I was not wearing a coat ...... so when I returned home, I had a hot shower, but as the day progressed I started to ache across the shoulders, and felt cold, so I sat in the lounge in front of the fire and dozed on and off for most of the afternoon,  so hubby had a quite day ....... I feel better this morning although I did wake up with rather a thumping headache, anyhoo back in to work tonight, so I will soon work it of ...... so what ya all been up to, have you started your Christmas shopping yet, ( did I just hear a lot of Groans .......) I have not done anything yet , might try and get a few bits this weekend , money permitting lol , it would probably be easier if I knew what to get everyone, but I don't so I will probably be doing the normal Christmas and running around like a headless chicken on Christmas Eve ....... but not to worry, still have plenty of time it's only 10 weeks to Christmas ARGHHH........

Good Afternoon Readers,

How are you all ........ well hasn't the weather changed ..... here in my little corner of Cornwall, it has been rather chilly and windy, great for drying the washing ....... well have not blogged in a few day's, what with work an all,  So I would like to take this opportunity , to welcome my new followers , thank you for taking the time to join my blogg, please pop back from time to time..... well, up the yard today to see my boy, gave him a nice groom, and then lunged him in the school, he looked beautiful ...... his coat was looking lovely, and he is going darker , he resembles the Lloyd's TSB Horse, as in the winter his coat goes a darker black ....... I must admit he looked rather magnificent...... even if I do say so myself ...... so once I had finished up at the yard, I decided to pop in to my favorite haunt at the mo, PANTS, it's three industrial units, filled to the brim with second hand items, the charity is for Cervical Cancer and Prostrate Cancer, hence Pants, because of the area ......... what's great about it is, that it is not in the middle of town it's on the outskirt's so there is plenty of parking right outside, so I had a good old rummage , and guess what I found a pair of riding boots , Mountain Horse Brand,  in very good condition , and even better still they were my size yipee ...... so of course they had to come home with me ...... and they were only £2.00 ......... I do love looking in Charity shops to see if I can grab a bargain, but I tend to only look in the one's that support Cancer Research , and the Animal Hospital Charities, so on the return home I gave them a clean, and they good as new, I know what I will be wearing up the yard in the morning ....... well I have managed to do a bit of crafting this afternoon...... and joined in with the fun over on  Winter Wonderland   but I think I may need professional help ...... as I am addicted to distressing ........ I cannot seem to get away from it at the mo, so below is my rather distressed looking tag.........

Winter Wonderland

Recipe for my Design,
5½ Tag cut in White Card Stock using my Cricut Machine
Distressed using Tim Holtz, Black Soot, Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade and Tettered Rose Distress Inks,
Holly Stamp by Papermania
Blooms cut using my E-Craft Machine, then distressed in the same ink tones as the tag, once distressed, I stamped the Holly on to them and screwed them up in to a little ball, to give an aged crinkled look.
The Gems used are all Plain Crystal, and I have shaded them to match my colour scheme using Spectrum Noir Pens 
Wide Gold Ribbon tied in a Bow

Good Morning Readers,

I hope you are all well ....... the weather today in my little corner of Cornwall, is rather pleasant albeit overcast, it is still rather warm ....... so decided to go in to the garden and top up the pond ...... Hmm maybe should have checked hose ...... well turned on the hose that was placed up the garden and in the pond, turned on the tap full blast ....... and the end of the hose shot around the garden like a demented snake, dog's, cat's bird's you name it, delved for cover ....... so I quickly ran back down the garden to the outside tap and turned it of rather quickly, what I forgot to do was secure the end of the hose to the pond, and to also put it on the spray setting ....... well that was that sorted, so then decided to wash the floors ...... got the mop and bucket, cleaning fluid , hot water ....... poured the cleaning fluid into the bucket, and I have never been much for
 measuring ..... ask hubbie when it comes to making cakes ...... and started to wash said floor, well, I had put so much cleaning stuff in , that the floor was covered in foam, so much so, that it would have made the Oompa Lumpa's from Charlie and Chocolate Factory proud, so I had to start all over again ....... and it's only 11.30, think I might go back to bed and start the day over .... Oh wait , can't do that, as I am back in to work tonight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did the usual this morning, up the yard, ran the rabble, coffee with the girls, and then returned home ....... hubbie decided to have a proper day of today, so nothing was planned ...... did a couple of bits around the house, but that's about all, which has left me to craft to my hearts's content ...... so for the last hour I have been safely locked away in my craft room, so I decided to join in with the fun over on Simply Less is More were the challenge this week is white on white ....... not so easy to photograph ......... but I did my best and my entry is below.

Good Afternoon Readers,

Well the weather in my little corner of Cornwall has been very pleasant today, and quite warm...... well up the yard as per usual this morning, and rode Ace, once again had a lovely time, had a couple of coffee's with the girls and then ran the rabble on the fields ........ once all that was done, I went in to Falmouth, to show Jo the rabble, Jo has a shop near my hubbies, and she has been wanting to see them for ages, well today she did ....... and they were not on there best behavior ....... they were barking at anyone and anything, that came within ten feet of me ...... so embarrassing , I know the vet said they were exceptionally protective of me, but really ........ anyhoo, after a while they realized that Jo was not going to attack me and quietened down, well after a fuss and a cuddle they were placed back in to my truck ...... I then went back up to hubbies shop and got two new books ...... and then went on down to Trago Mills ....... to look at the craft dept ....... and of course I did not come away empty handed....... purchased two new embossing folders, a bow maker, a pack of 4 x 4 cards and envies, and 120 crystal gems...... see pic below, and on the way home, I stopped of at Pants, it's a rather large charity unit, that sells just about everything , second hand of course ....... but I love a rummage, and came away with a Joe Bloggs shirt in lovely Autumn colours £2.00  and three teddies for the rabble, the nice soft ones that do not have the hard eyes, 50p each ........ so we came away happy bunnies ........ then to round of the day, I did a bit of crafting, and decided to join in with the fun over at  52 Christmas Card   and my design is below.......
