ive used Nichola and she is available to buy in rubber here ..the box is a template that Kaylou directed me to and can be found here and it was incredibly quick and easy to make :0)....

Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber stamp of their choice.

WOYWW and a card....

Well for months now i've kept seeing people with WOYWW post and after seeing the lovely Sues super tidy workdesk i figured i'd join in for a change...the hope is that it will shame me into a big tidy up...lol...it should probably come with some sort of health warning!!



OMG i swear it looks even worse!!....to the right is my telly and as you can see i had a date with Miss Jones yesterday on my day off :0)...you may be able to make out a pile of cards under the telly..these are mostly xmas orders that need personal messages adding..and under those are a selection of 12x12 papers....theres also a baby card and box thats not quite finished but the baby isnt due til this weekend so ill probably share later.....to the front right are a mixture of half finished cards..digi prints, off cuts etc etc...my promarkers are in the  tub to the left and as you can see although i have a fairly big craft mat i barely have room to actually cut any card..lol....i wonder what it will look like next week??!!..see Kaylou..i'm not as tidy as you think ;-)

ive also got a quick card to share as it was my friends birthday today....so its not for any challenges..it just "because"....



hope you likey..thanks for stopping by

attitude award!!



I received this award from the lovely Fi..thanks hon it was really sweet you thought of me :0) so... i have to tell you 3 things about myself and then pass this on to 5 other lucky bloggers in order to qualify for the $5.00 Digi’s With Attitude! Gift Certificate. Lastly, you must display the Blog Award Badge (above) in your sidebar and link it back to the Digi’s With Attitude! Challenge Blog...


so three things??......


1. I have a very bad phobia of dolls!!...i dont mind Barbie/Brats and i can just about handle baby born..but anything that moves has glass eyes etc etc freaks me out ... i actually had a panic attack at work (blush) when someone fetched in one of those "real" baby's that are handmade and have real hair and everything (shudder).... 


2. I'm not much better with clowns or spiders (lol)


3.I don't have any fancy craft equipment (other than my big shot that Dan got me last xmas)..i do everything on a huge cutting mat with a craft knife and ruler!!!!
and the 5 lucky people??...Kaylou, Melly, Mel, Susie Lou & Clare (i hate just choosing 5 :0( )
