My latest Parchment stuff I have made.

Hi all. I hope everyone is ok. I have been trying to keep busy again. Not always worked the way I wanted. lol But I have made a couple of parchment cards.

So I thought I would let you all have a look at what I have been doing.

Julie's Wedding Anniversary card open

Love Debs x

This was for Julie (Julie's Creations) Wedding anniversary

I loved this one. The swans are 3D and it is all done in parchment. Well I did need to back it. lol

This one was for a swap on a group I belong to.

Well I hope you like what I have been doing. I will have more to show you soon. I am going away for a couple of days. So I will be making some parchment cards while I am away. Plus I am going to be showing a couple of ladies how to do Bookmarks. These are the bookmarks that they will be making.

Ihave been trying to keep busy

Well things have been a bit crazy. We were away 28th july to 2nd August. But we had such an awful time, we came home a day early. The site was nice but it was not as we thought it was going to be.

The dogs hated the gravel everywhere and they were always trying to get to the car to come home. Bless them. Both of the boys were fed up too. The fishing that was supposed to be at the site was not. Plus Matthew was not allowed in the swimming pool on his own. He is 14 and we have let him go in the pool on his own at the late site we were at. So he was not at all happy.

Well, as usual, it took ages to get all the washing done and to get the van cleaned up after the dogs. They do love to make a mess in the van. lol

So we are just about getting back to normal now. I have been trying to keep myself busy card making. The only ones that I have done have been ones for swaps and for birthdays that I had coming up.

After tomorrow I will be able to show you the anniversary card I did for my dear friend Julie and her husband Matt. I love it and I hope they do.

Well that is all for now. But here is a pic to show you have fed up the dogs were.

Oh what a couple of weeks I have had

My eldest son Christopher had an accident on his bicycle a couple of week ago. He managed to amputate the tip of his index finger. Well I spent from 9.30pm to 2.14am in one hospital and then from 7.30am on the thursday to 3pm on the friday in another hospital.

He had to have an operation to sort the finger out. But he was very lucky (not that he thinks he was), they were able to keep the knuckle and have put the nail back on for him. So he will just look like he has a short index finger.

He has to go and have his dressings changed again today. We are hoping that the dressings are not stuck to his fingers again like they were last week.

This is a picture of him when we went to Martin Mere with the Beaver Scouts. He was in loads of pain on this day. But he wanted to be with me to help out. Bless him.

This is him at Beavers last week. It was his offical last day in school that day. So he had his sling signed. As you can see, he still have his sence of humor. lol

My new craft room

My craft room is now finished and I am all moved in and enjoying have space just for me. I love the summer house and it has made a wonderful craft room. All the electrics are done and the heater will be moved to the craft room later today. So that way I will be able to stay in there for ages just crafting. lol
Here is a picture of the outside.

easter weekend

hi all, I hope you are all having a nice easter weekend

I am now a Qualified Parchment Craft Instructor

Hi All,
Well I have done it. I am now a Qualified Parchment Craft Instructor. It has taken me 2 years off and on, but I have done it. I am so pleased with myself. Parchment Craft is my favourite craft and I am so pleased that I now can share it with others.

The next thing on my list to do is to design my own patterns. I would love to have one of my patterns published in the Parchment Craft Mag. So I will keep you upto date with how this goes. I will be trying a pattern out later today. I will not show you the pattern until it has been sent to the Mag.

I am going to see The Dog Whisperer, today. I am so excited about it. I am going with a friend and we are both like a pair of kids. lol

Well I will go for now and will see you all very soon.
Love Debs
PCA Qualified Instructor.
