Wall hanger for the Rolfe's


My in-laws have had an incredibly bad year and to be honest we did not know if my father in law would be here. He was told in May that he may have as little as 5 months left. He is doing quite well at the moment and they are preparing for a Christmas at home with family. I thought I would make this cute little wall hanger for them which simply says Christmas at the Rolfes. The picture doesn't do this any justice really .. but I'm sure you'll get the point. Janie xx

Happy anniversary


Such a busy time of year for everybody ... and amongst all those Christmas preparations and Christmas cards and such likes I like a lot of people have birthday and anniversary cards to make too. My brother and his wife have been married for 31 years and I remember their wedding day as if it was yesterday. There is 10 years between me and my brother Colin but I am so close to him. My sister in law is very special to me too, but then, I have known her since I was 8 years old and that's an awful long time ago..... anyway they are very very special to us and we love them very much. Happy Anniversary Colin and Elaine. We love you xx

Butterfly box


Just wanted to share with you the box I just made with my scor-pal and my cricut gypsy... I really really enjoyed making this cute little box ... It has an acetate centre, so maybe some homemade biscotti or chocolates will be placed in there for someone special .. I wonder who that someone might be xx Janie xx

What have I done???????????????????????

This is the mother of all mistakes... I sold my baby cricut on ebay a few days ago as used but very well looked after. Complete with all manuals and cables and new cutting mat.. no cartridges... Just got an email from the buyer to say .. Hey where's the overlay ?? Overlay I'm thinking, what overlay .... So I get out all my cartridges and guess what... When Mrs Stupid linked all her carts to her new gypsy she left George in the machine. I have emailed and asked for George to come home but we'll have to wait and see. Anyone with a cricut will understand what I am going through without George. I know he's linked to my gypsy but I would like him back ... :-(

Will keep you informed on the outcome... xx


GEORGE IS NOW HOME ... BACK WHERE HE BELONGS .... HOW I'VE MISSED YOU GEORGE .... NOW BACK TO WORK GEORGE YOU HAVE HAD TOO MANY DAYS OFF ALREADY ... LOVE YOU GEORGE XX

Cricut is such a fantastic sport!!

Well, I've got the gypsy up and running and just love it, love it, love it... but .... my cricut just wasn't big enough ... Shhh that's what I convinced myself with anyway. Sooooooooo, I put it up for sale and a few other non used craft items and hey ... I'm the proud mummy of a cricut expression now... and I love it.. I miss my baby cricut but this expression is just awesome. Trouble is now, I just don't know what to play with. They say bigger is better and I guess they're right. Will put some cricut expression creations on here as soon as possible. xx
