If you are going to be pictured on the front of an ATC! ''be sure to wear some flowers in your hair''.

Thank You Monday

Hello,
Monday morning blues lets hope not, do we have time for them these days, LOL,
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend the highlight of mine was on Sunday, February the 24th my gorgeous friend Denise's birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Denise ... she was over from Germany and staying at her mums in Spalding about a 3 hr drive from me and as i hadnt seen her for a year i thought how nice would it be to suprise her and land at her mums for a cup of tea, very nice i thought, very nice indeed however i dont have wheels at the moment and soooo late Saturday evening i 'phoned a friend' asking if he fancied a run out and guess what, sure enough he did.
We set off at twelve noon Sunday and beause of a few diversions a 3hr trip took us 4, OH, she is sooooooo worth it.
The hugs and the tears, oh boy, after she got over her shock, we chatted and laughed for 2 hours swapped a pile of ATC's we had made for each other, more big smiles, it was time to say our good byes, yes you guessed it more tears. So today Monday 25th Febuary is ''Thank You Monday'' to Doug, what a GOOD friend xx
Thank you to everyone who has written asking about the club ATC swaps and challenges i am answering your emails, everyone.

i must go i have ATC challenges to both set and complete. :)))

Queen of ATC challenges

Hello, I'm back
Oh, you wouldn't believe me if i told you the problems i had just setting up this blog it has taken several attempts hence the reason i have 3 pages on the go LOL.The 1st post on this blog was actually written and posted 5 days ago when it WAS cold and i just wasn't able to heat my house and my poor crafting fingers were tooo cold to work on my ATC's...''oh no'' i hear you all cry... ''that's terrible'' and you are right it was but i soon caught up as i had copious amounts of ATC challenges to complete, not a lot of people know this but I am the QUEEN of 'setting ATC challenges' and if you would like to take 1 on just email me and HEY PRESTO CONSIDER IT DONE !
Just ask my lovely crafty friend Chris at ... http://craftsbychrissy.blogspot.com/ she just loves me setting her my challenges. don't you chris :))).

pop along again and see what i am up 2.

a BIG hello from 'me'

It's cold today infact it's freezing we have fog and frost and i can't get my house to warm up. Brrrrrrrrrrrr :((
OK, Where do I begin, Lets see.... ..Over the last 4 months I have received sack fulls of ATC's (well our postman tells me i have :)))... The ATC's are from members and guests of our friendly, creative and fast growing Club which is run from my home in Eaglescliffe, Cleveland, UK. Over the next week or so i will be putting together examples of the wonderful tiny works of art which I have received so far ... allowing you to enjoy them too. In the meantime you can spy a few in the Gallery at http://www.scrapz.co.uk/the lovely and very talented Karen is showcasing some of the ATC's that she has received through her swaps with http://www.theartisttradingclub.com/ and some she has created as swaps for other members and i have also placed just a few of mine in her gallery too. If whilst you are on her site you end up spending some money please dont blame ME as she does have a wonderful site which Karen has been building up fast and it does stock a fantastic range of ''STUFF'' we ''CRAFTER's'' just cant live without :))))) IYKWIM. shhh.. whispering.... STASH... ;))) WINK. Take care and more tomorrow...happy ATC-ing/crafting xxxLuv Chriss xxx
