I don't get them...

...Sugar Nellies that is. I don't know what it is about them I just can't find a way to give them any life or feeling. I do like the Simon and Lola stamp I own but the others I have don't inspire me. They're a bit flat, lacking in movement and emotion. Whenever I use them they look as though they're all lined up waiting for the firing squad! Ummm, doesn't say much for my skills, does it?

Oh how time flies.

You know how it is, you create a blog so that you can keep track of projects and creations only to find that three months has past and you've neglected it.

I was lucky enough to recieve a Bind It All machine on Boxing Day from my wonderful Father. I have had so much fun with it. I haven't had the time to make anything too elaborate but have made some mini books, a calendar and right now I'm making more mini books for my daughter's birthday loot bags. So far it has been a breeze and a whole heap of fun!

I am spending most of my time making cards for a local charity. They have helped over the past 12 years with my daughter's cancer. I realised that we hadn't done any fundraising for them for quite a while so thought that selling a few cards would be a good start. Early days but they seem to be going down well.

I am still really loving the Magnolia stamps, just can't get hold of them quick enough. They seem to be in stock for all of a couple of hours and then fly straight out of stock again but there does seem to be more on-line stockists emerging so hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on some more tilda's soon.
