XXX HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY & SOPHIE XXX 


Good Morning Ladies,

I would like to start today by wishing my two beautiful daughters a Very Happy 16th Birthday, have a lovely day girls xxxx

Now ladies, time to confess what we have been spending our pennies on this week!!

My purchases are:  
The beautiful 'Bella Rose'  12x12 paper pad (bought with my £10 create and craft voucher +£2.99), I just couldn't resist, every page is beautiful.
Sizzix Thinlits Plus Pillow Box die,  I was amazed how big it was, the bag die just about fits an A4 page, so pillow box is roughly A5 in size, I have created my first bag using two tones of Silver card, layered up, decorated with some flat back crystals. I am going to blame the rest of you for encouraging me to buy that die, it was a combination of Myra's amazing Pillow Box bags, and Jean (I think) that told me where I could get it a bargain price!  ( I have wanted for a while) xxxx

Michele's Purchases:
1 set of stamps free with purchased magazine
1 set of dies free with magazine 
New Sue Wilson die Clean and Simple Zig Zag Corner 

Janet's Purchase:

Tonic Chelsea Bag die, Janet made the gorgeous bag in red and white with her new die.

Brenda Lello Purchases :

I won't list all of Brenda's purchases, you can see that Brenda had a good day at Sandown park, buying, Stamps, Embossing Folders, some lovely Tartan card, some pens, Cardio Stamps, flowers and more.
Brenda I love the little glimpse of your new craft room, John has done you proud! X
Brenda emailed me with a last minute update, three new dies (all because she was encouraged though) so not her fault !!! 


Lynda's purchases:

Well where do I begin!!!, I think Lynda is the shopper of the week!!
I will attempt to list some, Envelopes, Tattered lace Bowmaker and DVD,
Honey-Doo stamps, (I love those), A couple of Sue's dies, Tattered Lace die, Intricutz Die and some card blanks, Lynda you must be so excited to get creating with all of your new goodies, I can't wait to see your fabulous cards.

Thank you ladies for sharing your 'Guilty Secrets', now come on the rest of you, own up, I know there are some more bargain buys out there!!!

Well we have a busy day ahead so I must get a Diane 'wiggle on' !!
Have a great day everyone,

Love and hugs
Sandra xxxxx

  1. Good morning. Sandra and ladies. I haven't been in for a couple of days as I didn't want to pass on the nasty flu like bug I have had. I was so full of the cold ( heavy head type thing) that I couldn't be bothered with my i Pad. Had a better night last night thanks to the old fashioned thing of rubbing Vicks vapour rub on my chest back and front, my nose and the soles of my feet which I then put on a pair of socks. This was to help ( which it did) with my terrible cough.
    Oh you have been bad buying all these things. Well I will confess I bought the sentiment stamps showing the one that was on Sue Wilson's card the other day.
    Brenda, the tartan papers that you bought were designed by my local craft shop owner, they are lovely to work with! Did you see the tartan embossed envelopes that go with the papers? I see you had a good day? Lynda also had a good day with all her goodies.
    Lucy and Sophie. HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! Have a wonderful day.
    Haven't looked back at what's been going on will catch up later. Xxx

    1. Hi Hazel, I fell in love with the tartan card it's beautiful, I haven't used it yet, I am still at the looking and stroking stage!!!!! I didn't see any matching envelopes. Gosh that would really give me another problem, thay would be to gorgeous to use. Gxx

      Delete
    2. Hazel I too bought the tartan pad! I admit I loved the cards on your blog so much that when I saw the card - Craftwork Cards - it was I ordered it! Didn't see any envelopes though. Glad you are feeling better! Take it easy today - please!!! Xxxx

      Delete
    3. Hi Hazel, wish you better and hope you get some rest. Nothing connect me with anything Scottish I think but do like some tartan in paper or cloth xxx

      Delete
    4. Hi Hazel , glad to hear you are feeling a bit better, sounds similar to what Iain and I have had, one day quite good ,next day awful, it was the lack of energy that really got me , but as they say old age doesn't come alone , but you are a long way behind me Lol!
      I got some tartan card stock at the October. Glasgow show, it's not that easy to come by, I didn't know there was a Scottish supplier.
      Take care , love and hugs , Anne xo

    5. Sorry my brain wasn't in gear this morning it's the embossed cards and plain envelopes I meant. I have used the cards along with the papers on my cards that I put on my blog. I have another one going up on my blog tomorrow. So sorry xxx

    Happy Birthday Lucy & Sophie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What an interesting bundle of purchases, Sandra - I love the pillow box you have made. I've made two but am not happy with them.

    It's still windy here & we have heavy rain forecast all day...at least I'll be warm + dry in work!

    1. They aren't as straight forward as i thought, mine didnt seem to emboss the lines enough, so the side flaps were a pain to fold in!!
      There were no instructions with it either!

      Delete
    2. If you run it through more than once you will get a better edge! It did say on the instructions that as Thinlets Dies are so thin they need to be run through the Sizzix Machine more than once and I'm guessing they are designed for that one. Did you use your Sizzix machine Sandra or the Platinum?? Xxx

  3. Good Morning Sandra and Friends

    Many Happy Returns Of the Day Lucy

    Many Happy Returns Of the Day Sophie

    Love all the new purchases, shall not feel guilty at all tomorrow when I go to the Craft fair at Exeter, some of the usual people will not be there, as it clashes with another show somewhere else, for some unknown reason they have done moved the date to a week later this year., still I'll probably find something to buy.

    Off to get my hair cut this morning, it's looking terrible, hope she can do something to put a bit of bounce back in, ( one lives in hope ).
    Must go ,will be back later, have a good day all
    Hugs Lilian.

  4. Morning Everyone and all who braves this awful weather and pops in today.

    LUCY AND SOPHIE - A VERY HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY TO YOU BOTH. I hope you have a good day at school and then a fab evening with the Family. Hope Mum has arranged a gorgeous tea for you both.

    What an array of purchases. All looking wonderful. I have to say though that I was a little disappointed in my Chelsea Bag from Tonic. I though it would be a little bigger than it is and I had a problem fitting the little tiny lugs together which hold the two pieces together. In the end I finished up gluing it. I think it would be good for table gifts or name plates but I cannot see it being used on a regular basis. Ah well we live, buy and learn.

    HAZEL - I hope you're feeling a little better today. So many people seem to be suffering like you at the moment. I don't think you can beat the good old fashioned remedies. They always work. Gentle soothing hugs on their way for you.

    We are being battered again by horrible winds. I know they are better than all that snow the US had but they are definitely not my kind of weather.

    I got my BB sent off yesterday so now it's wait and fingers crossed to see what happens and I also finished my Challenge card for this week so must get that off to Sandra today.

    I have been asked by my Granddaughter to knit an Aran Jacket for Lily-Mae. Now I haven't done any knitting since I finished that Aran Bedspread which by the way I passed on to Christina and Robert for their 7th (wool)Wedding Anniversary. I thought that better it be used now instead of waiting until I'm not around. So of course I said yes and as it's only a small size -22inch chest- I can do some in an afternoon. I knitted for all of my Grandchildren when they were small in fact until the reached double figures and then like many they went off 'hand knits'. Funny how things change isn't it. The wool arrived yesterday so I'll be making a start this afternoon. It's also my day for my hairdresser to come and do something with my hair too Lilian this morning so I must get myself sorted and ready for 10.00.

    All's ready for the day in the Cafe. Does anyone have spare spoons please. They seem to be dwindling and I cannot find where they're going. Perhaps one or two Huggles might have the answer. What do you think?

    Hugs to all in need and there's plenty by the door so please help yourselves. xxxx

    1. Hello Janet,
      Your hair looks lovely now!
      Your bag looks lovely and I'm sure you will use it . This may be a silly idea - but could you just use the front and handle part to put on cards? It would give you another use for it.
      Good luck with your knotting .I love Aran wool - my Auntie Jean, whom I adored, used to knit jackets and bobble hats in Aran wool for each of my sons! They were so cosy and smart!
      Have fun but don't overdo the knitting! Xxx

    2. Hi Janet, make sure the huggle's or Myra not getting hold of that Aran wool or it might be quite a few knots in there hihi.sorry, couldn't help it.
      Love to see little Lily=Mae in the outfit when it's finished. have fun knitting xxx

    3. Oops! You should see why I've just seen!
      Huggles playing races! It looks great fun and lots of giggles!
      One sits in the bowl of a teaspoon and another drags it behind him.They take turns and have races! I know where at least 7 teaspoons have gone!! Ha ha! Xxx

      Delete
    4. Myra - have you been coaching those Huggles? I can just see you showing them what to do. I only hope they don't acquire any building skills or one day we are going to open the door and find an Obstacle Course -full size of course- and no room to tables/chairs. This will be made out of other cutlery along with pots and pans out of the cupboard.
      I think locks may be a good idea on the cupboard doors. At least I'll know who to call when it happens won't I!!!!!!

  9. Hi Sandra.
    i've been looking at your blog every day for a few months but not commented as I'm recovering from a shoulder op and I've been trying to type with my left hand which is sooo difficult as I'm right handed. Anyway I'm recovering daily so I thought I'd join your happy band.
    Just love your blog and the way your friends add their contributions.
    Living in Spain most of my supplies are shipped over to me but when I go back to see family and friends I take an empty care and return with a bulgig one, full of craft goodies for my addictive card making obsession.
    could I ask from which magazine the cute dogs stamps came. I'll order the back dated magazine and have it send to my friend in uk to pick up when Igo back.
    Take care and keep up the good work.
    Love Val in Spain x

  10. Good morning my little coffee shop cherubs,
    Ah-ha, so how many of you told your other half " that, och, i've had that for ages" although i don't think 30 mins before comes home is technically seen as ages, or has it been in the wardrobe for months, eh? I'm just jealous because i haven't got anything new for a wee while, well since before Christmas anyway. So enjoy my little cherubs your purchases or "gifts" that your lovely friend/s bought for you, wasn't that kind of them.
    Sohie and Lucy i hope you both have a great day wee lassies and enjoy your birthday. DO you have to share a cake as well as i did with my twin brother? He couldn't just go with the flow and get it all white to save any arguements, oh no, he had to have his side blue. It should have been black with the colour he was in most of the time. Jim was always tinkering with stuff and not just his own, but everyone elses as well. He was always black because of oil, grease(from his motorbikes or scramblers or trials), paint, coal dust, you name it he had it on him. Trying to get him to wash was a nightmare as well until mum took her judo slipper off and walloped him across the backside with it, he would then go and wash or rather 2 fingers around the mouth area and the rest on the towels. If you couldn't hear him he was up to something, that you could be sure off as he played his heavy metal music so that the whole of Sauchie could hear it. He thought that Mum wouldn't know he had slipped out and up the drainpipe, across the roof, onto the apple tree and away because he was playing his music but what he forgot was Mum couldn't hear him doing anything so got suspicious. Or there was the time that he decided to be good and do a good turn, HA HA. He only went and painted Mum's shed bright yellow paint that she had bought to turn the inside coal cellar into a press to hold her dryer. Well she got around the corner of the garage and as she got to the kitchen window she seen the hut. She knew right away who had done it and roared at the top of her voice, "Jim, I'll murder you ya wee sod, just wait till i get my hands on you". Dolly next door is hiding him and trying to calm her down that he had heard her say she was going to paint the hut, so he thought it would be a nice surprise for her. Yes, happy times with my twin brother and i think that is why i miss him so much because there's not the chaos that accompanied Jim any more either.
    See you got me started again down that lane. Girls have a wonderful day and enjoy being 16 as you will never be that again.
    Please can i have a latte and a scone please, i have brought some huggles in with me but i have sent some special delivery to Barbara, you're missed flower but i hope that you can have happy memories filling that sadness.

    Wow, what a lot of confessions! You didn't get mine Sandra as I couldn't motivate myself yesterday. I will send them for next week! I'm afraid my promise to buy something just once a quarter went out the window! Oops!
    I'm much more reliable making promises to people!!!
    My challenge card didn't get put together yesterday either but I will put that right today! Promise!! Gulp!

    Afternoon Sandra and all in today. I love all you purchases on show . The Bella Rose papers look really nice and you pillow box is lovely ! Janet, your little handbag is so sweet and I love the colours together. As I said I have not bought anything for a while now and it getting harder for every day. Looking at different sites and keep putting things in the basket but then taking them out again, oh it is hard not to get something new. I liked some of Sue's new die's as well so more onto my wishlist. Like to see what you make with the Zig Zag die Michele. Going for some lunch but hope to be back later to see you all until then have a good day as possible,

    Happy birthday Sophie and Lucy, I hope you got some nice presents!!!
    Welcome Val, you are especially welcome if you bring a little sunshine with you when you visit us.
    What super "Guilty Secrets" are on show today. I could fancy all of them, and the freebies with the magazines are really interesting. Brenda certainly had a good time, I hope she had a trolley with her ha ha.
    Sorry I am late but I've had a rather heavy day. I am the great aunt of a new great nephew. Oh, the labour wasn't bad but I am tired ha ha. I don't know the weight or the name yet, but I have seen a picture of him on Eleanor's 'phone!! My phone is so old that non of these new fangled things are available!!
    As mam is 6' tall and dad is 6'7", I have a feeling he may be a big un. Certainly he looks a big bruiser on the photograph!!
    We took Joan out to lunch today to cheer her up, and we had a laugh talking about old times and recalling daft things that had happened.
    See you all later.

    I have made 2 cards ( a new knitting stamp) and 8 pages of scrap booking, normally the scrap booking would take me much longer but I bought a Dawn Bibby Christmas scrap booking set and that made it so easy! Job done!
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sophie and Lucy ! I hope you have both been really spoiled and have had a wonderful special day! ie, lots of presents!
    Well girls you have had a spending spree and bought lots of goodies, they all look great! I've been a bit naughty myself buying, but as I explained to Iain I'm not going to the Glasgow show in March so I need to stock up on some things, and he believed me Lol!
    Enjoy playing with your new stash!
    Love and hugs xoxo

    Take care

  19. Evening All, just finished sketch card and sent it to Sandra.
    We are going to see the family in London for the weekend.
    Just taken pasties out of the oven to take with us to have for lunch on the way.
    On the way going to the craft show tomorrow, should be good although some of the usual sellers are going to Manchester instead. Will show my buys when I get home.
    Hazel hope you are feeling better, also anyone else who are feeling under the weather.
    Will try and pop in over the weekend.
    Hugs to all who are away at the moment and need a little love, thinking of you.
    Goodnight Lilian
