Make it on Monday.

     Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I need to get back to making some masterboards soon but there has been a lot going on here at the moment. I've been preparing a class for my friends which we do each year making Christmas cards, lots of gardening!, pond cleaning and cabin sorting.

But what I have been doing is making more Ai photos ready for next year's calendar and as the children are now back at school this seemed like the right one to make at the moment.

How cute are those faces.

If you were wondering, this was the original photograph.

Hope you like it.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

    Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

Lots more gardening going on here this week and here are our Ai helpers.

If you saw Daisy and Alfie on Friday last week helping with the gardening they looked like this......

Well......here they are again but looking a bit different due to Ai

These two can garden but it usually means digging the lawn up, eating bugs, weeds and of course chasing squirrels Lol! and then getting very dirty which they love!

Gardening here is quite a job as we have a big garden.

This week has been cutting the wisteria and cleaning the pond filters.

Now that is one big wisteria and despite the dry weather it's done really well. We cut it down like this every year and it still grows back.

Another day was the turn of the filter box.

This little guy just did not want to come out!

This one is an old style filter box and is open at the top so we get lots of frogs visiting but he needs to come out until the grids are replaced.

We also have a modern filter box too but that's been cleaned earlier this week.

This was hubby who finally got him out with this old flour sieve.

He's back in again now the grids are replaced.

The frogs are so funny because even when you get them out they will find a way to jump back in.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

Make it on Monday.

     Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you something a bit different than you normally see here on a Monday. 

I'm working on images for next years Calendar and have another Schnauzer Ai photograph.

Some of you may have seen some of these before if you visit my facebook page.

The weather has changed too and we're all going out with our umbrellas and raincoats and the dogs are set up and ready for the weather too.

And if the rain stops we'll be off for a little shopping trip too.

Hope that made you smile a little.

Other than that I'm busy working on Christmas card designs but you'll get to see some of these soon. 

I would love to hear your comments.

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

    Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

Daisy and Alfie are helping with the gardening.

Alfie is chewing up the Wisteria and Daisy is having a sniff round just in case something interesting turns up.

The grapes are looking good though they are still a bit sharp to the taste. I'm adding them to my breakfast cereal, very tasty.

After the gardening is done for today we have two lazy dogs.

Hubby must have very tasty jeans.

Alfie decided he liked this towel.

He's giving me the "this is mine" look.

And is now using it as a cushion.

But he does like this spot too.

It faces the front door and the sun shines through the window straight at him.

It must be very comfy!

Been in the park too and found this Fungi, love the colours.

I'll finish off today with a few pics from the Steampunk festival.

I think that's enough for today. 

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

So here is my desk for today!

I'm busy at the moment getting some Christmas card projects ready for my friends to put together when they have their class with me.

There's a mixture of card and paper here, Dreamees, Funky Fossil, The Works and Dovecraft. As I'm just starting a new card design I've not yet decided what to use.

I know that some of you don't make Christmas cards quite so early but I like to get these ready in plenty of time just in case!

So that's me done for today, well not really as I've got to go back and prep. more cards Lol!

If you're interested I'll show you the finished cards when they're all complete.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and visit the other desks.
